//SOFTIE LOVE

Heyo friends!


I don't know about you, but Melbourne has been extremely cold! Last week we were enjoying sticky warm weather whereby I could wear shorts casually and comfortably. Okay, we were enduring it.
But now.... It's cold and I'm wearing thermals under my pjs and a cardigan on top!

So yes. Melbourne weather is just wacky.

On a warmer note. All this cold weather got me thinking about being foled into a big warm place, so it was surprising that I managed to stumble upon this find:






It was sitting within my multitudes of photos and random bits of inspiration (which includes this image:)

hehehehe

This cute little guy was a present that we had made for our darling friend Selina. We made it for her birthday present one year. And we were pretty chuffed that it turned out so well! We learnt how to make this little cutie from one of the best crafty books that I have used! More Softies is just one of those books that has wonderful images and really really makes you want to make yourself a warm and soft companion to make these cold Melbourne nights seem, not so bad.

So I hope that this post finds all of you lovely readers in a place that is warmer than my toes are right now. 

Thank you for reading and visit us again on Thursday.

Why? 

Because Val will be blogging and I think that she has some fashion photography to share with you lovely lot.

//PETER PAN


Well, hello friends, would love to show you some more lovely crafty/stylish items which we have accumilated over the uni holidays (uni starting tomorrow! eep!). 

The top which I'm wearing has been amazingly created by our wonderfully talented mum. She's noticed the PeterPan collars floating around and how I seem to gravitate towards them on any clothes item (dress, jacket, top, cardigan etc.) The list is endless, of all the objects which becomes instantly cuter once a Peter Pan collar is attached! 

You may have also seen this bag before, I used it in our colour blocking post. Funny story, I saw this bag in Salvos, resisted the temptation to buy and put it back. I left, but felt it was still calling my name. So there was only one logical solution, I went back, and, bought it.

$10! 







Went to the Sunday Camberwell market this morning before church. And I reckon I bought too much stuff. 

Don't get me wrong! I reckon I got some pretty good buys, but, there does come a time when the guilt seeps in and the good ol wallet feels a little lighter.

I CAN'T RESIST cheap buys....when I see $10 or $5 signs....my heart melts and my mind goes crazy..... 

Hehheh, need to learn some self control.

Will keep you updated on that one!

Hope you've been enjoying the pictures lovelies!

//YOU'RE MY CUPPYCAKE

OH-HALO FRIENDS!

We wanted to give a little shout to you guys by saying hello this morning with some little lovely treats!

If you remember, or if you don't that it perfectly normal/fine/acceptable, Val and I went with our lovely friends to the Melbourne Food and Wine Festival.

When we were there, we managed to pick up something sweet for our darling sister. 

And what could possibly be sweeter than a cupcake that resembles a rolling hill of flowers blooming in the late spring!

Check out this wonder of a cupcake!




How delightful is it! The surrounding delicacies are cupcakes from coles. Heh, just added a bit to the photo I suppose.

I know what you're all thinking now.

You're thinking, did this cupcake of wonder and spring delights ever make it's way into our little sister's belly? And if it did, what sort of scrumptious flavours were infused into this little cuppy-cake?
(a.k.a "What did it taste like????)

WELL. This little cupcake served it's purpose too well! Our little sister thought that it was too pretty to eat! So as it sat and looked pretty in the fridge until this poor cupcake was slowly slowly... starting to expire.

So a lesson to be learned dear readers,
cupcakes are pretty, that I got,
but left for a while, they will definately rot.

Ah well, you can remember it with these photos and appreciate the skill and talent to produce such an delight to look at. I'm sure that it tasted... like what it appeared to be. (grass?)
