I won the wardrobe I’ve been covetting for the last week. WAY under the price I thought it would go to. I got the wardrobe and the little bedside hutch for under $60 and the owner lives nearby!!! Steve and I are going to pick them up on Sunday. It’s so clean and in such [...]

I guess its nice to get a reminder I’m not great at everything :P I was making this as a gift for a baby boy I know and it totally went haywire. But hey, I tried and failed at my first attempt. i was going to write “Contains Nuts” underneath as a bit of a [...]

I feel asleep in the bath

I wish my bathroom looked like this I’m not kidding. I drew a nice steaming hot bath and slipped into the bubbles… and nodded off. My bath is moulded and even has a little pillow head rest at the end of it and arm rests. Very cool. I guess I was more exhausted from being [...]

Op Shop Karma

I’m been out balancing my Op Shop Karma today. I’ve been lucky with my finds and grabbing a few great bargains but it’s a give and take situation. If they don’t have people donate, they’ll have nothing to sell meaning no more great bargains (while donating to charity) for me. So I got a rather [...]

Our bed all made up. Sheets and Q.Cover is washed but still stiff, bugger ironing them. I did iron the lace however. Overtime they’ll feel like silk… dreamy. Looks a bit grandma-ish in the photos but in person it really isn’t. Yay!!!

More cooking

I made these cupcakes last night. Butter choc chip with blue piped frosting and little star sprinkles. They look so cute and happy. This is my mid afternoon lunch. I tend to eat little but spread over the day with reductil. Lite Peppercorn Jatz curb that bread craving, wholemeal ones are great too. I’ve been [...]

I finally sold some of my aprons!!! Four of them to be exact. Angel Cakes, Jam Tartlet, White Choc Cake & Peppermint Slice. WooHoo!!! I sold them for $14.95 each and now I just want to frame the receipt I’m so proud :D On a whim Steve and I took the aprons over to the [...]

When we rocked up to Alice and Benny’s I don’t think Chris realised the cake was for him. I’m forever taking cakes and other yummy things to thier house so I guess it didn’t surprise him. Once he saw his name on it though, he got excited and said thank you a million times and [...]

Change of plans

11:26AM | February 23, 2008 | 3 comments

Tonight Steve and I were meant to be dancing the night away at the Masquerade Ball. We cancelled on Thursday evening. A fact that I’d hidden from most was that it was a Swingers Ball and I’d lost my interest in going and planned to spend the weekend with friends instead. That was also cancelled. [...]

I made this. No sewing pattern or previous bag making experience. I ROCK. I was cleaning out the art room and stumbled across a bag stuffed with left over fabric from project I started 2 years ago! At least I’ve learnt to see things through now. Anyway, the fabric inspired me and I somehow ended [...]

Squeaky Clean

I was just in the bath* washing off all the white paint and it just occurred to me that most of my toiletries are coloured green. Isn’t that funny? I don’t really like green. Pictured above are some of my fave products (left to right): Clinque Daily Foaming Facial Cleanser – This stuff is the [...]

Facelift

This cost me absolutley NOTHING, nadda, zip. The paint I had left over from other projects. The fabric was left over from the lounge room cushions and I’m smart enough to own a staple gun. It took 2 days to complete but you could do in one day… I’m lazy. They look so snazzy sitting [...]

Pathetic Cookie

I made choc chip cookies… I think the recipe had too much butter in it cos they went all flat and strangely enough, hollow as well… more like Cookie Bubbles. Oh well… always next time.

My Gyno thinks I may have Endo. If I don’t fall on steves penis and get pregnant this month I have to have Laparoscopic surgery to investigate in early March. I’m in a catch 22 situation. I’d be glad to know whats wrong but pissed I might have Endo. Are doctors EVER going to stop [...]

I was on the phone to Mum sorting out the Art Room and I got idle hands and attacked the chair I was sitting on. I recovered it… and you know what , it looked pretty good. It still surprises me that I own a hot glue gun, a staple gun, litres and litres of [...]

Luxury

Steve and I went mattress shopping this afternoon and grabbed a bargain. We went window shopping last week and got a few quotes and decided on “Lotus Luxury” a Latex mattress by A.H. Beard at $2500 and it seemed quite a good deal. I rang up today to check the current price and as there [...]

No Purchase

None of my aprons sold and I’m depressed. They were viewed approximately 30 times each so I know there is interest at least. I don’t want to drop the price. I guess selling them in person will be more profitable. Hmm oh well.

Chinese New Year Party

Everyone came along and the night went really well. Everyone loved the cupcakes, had a few drinks and a bit of a dance. Afterwards we went to jupiters for even more dancing. Good night had by all… I made it home by 3am though :) Luke & I Casey & I
