Oh look! It’s nearly the end of July and I haven’t announced my June giveaway winner. Why is my life so crazy busy! Why am I so crap at drawing giveaways. Ok. Focus. Priorities. The winner of the June giveaway was a toughie – so many worthwhile entries. I settled on Pamela and her touching entry […]

July 21, 2011 By 7 Comments
Operation ‘no chocolate’ hasn’t been going too well here. Monday – I cracked open a block of milk chocolate, it was so good and my fellow sweet tooths – Keira and Tillie – helped me out. Now it’s Thursday and I’m making muffins with choc chips. But these only have a little bit of chocolate so you can […]

July 20, 2011 By 12 Comments
Well, I always have fun sharing total random things with you that don’t make it onto the blog: – I need to lose 2 kilos that I’ve gained recently– It seems odd then that I bought 3 chocolate cookbooks on monday at the mall– I’m blaming those choc chip cookies with 250g butter in each batch– […]
{Keep Reading...}my bitty bump is too bitty
July 19, 2011 By 9 Comments
Oh dear, I decided to knit this pattern called bitty bump as it was a quick knit that was supposed to take me 3 hours. I had visions of a blog post bragging about me finishing something in 3 hours and my super cute elodie modelling it. WRONG. Oh so wrong. It’s taken me almost a […]

I hoped to share this recipe with you all this morning but school is back and that meant I had 50 million things to do. I do love baking things to go in keira’s lunchbox but lately my one cup cookies have been coming home uneaten. So I went through a couple of cookbooks and found an old […]

I’m feeling a little ordinary today. Don’t feel too sorry for me though because I had a great night out minus the rest of the family at a gorgeous friend’s birthday party. And I overindulged in everything and am paying the price today. Retro daddy came downstairs and said did you know you haven’t taken […]

I think this photo pretty much sums up life at our house. I had taken Elodie upstairs to get a few cute photos in good light of the cute jumper she was wearing. Before I knew it little voices were gently calling screaming out my name! So when the kids are all grown up and can’t […]

July 15, 2011 By 7 Comments
One of the lovely things about making things for your little ones is handing them on to the next baby. Take this sweet jumper modelled by Elodie. It’s the placket necked jumper from Last Minute Knits and I knitted it up in Charisma which was a Bendigo backroom special. See, you aussie ladies need to […]

The very lovely Suzy Hausfrau sent me this gorgeous book in the mail recently. And if that wasn’t enough a voucher to spend in her lovely store. Suzy, not her real name, left her job to be home and set up and run her very own online store. Well done. It’s a big decision but you’ve […]
