A few more projects that I have done :)

I had a fair amount of time off before Lucy was born and we stayed at my parents house, so being the daughter of a very creative mum we made a few things for Lucy. We made a heap of beautiful wraps courtesy of mums shop Calico and Ivy that Lucy gets cuddled in every day and we also made this- a play mat for Lucy (again fabric form Calico and Ivy!!)

I get complimented on this blanket every time I pull it out for Lucy at mothers group.

I also made this shell canvas for Lucy and it is up in her nursery- very simple to do, just head to your favourite beach and grab some lovely shells, pull out the super glue from the draw and head out to an art/craft shop or simple just to Red Dot and grab yourself a canvas and voila you have yourself a shell canvas that looks pretty fantastic in your baby's nursery :)

When I was down in Perth I had to have my op-shopping fix as the op-shops in Perth are sooo much better then Karratha and I found some gorgeous lamp bases for only $5 each- Bargain!! So I bought a simple lamp shade and covered it with some fabric that complimented Lucy's colour scheme in her nursery. Here is the end product:

Yesterday was my 28th birthday and I finally was able to get my shoes that I have been drooling over for weeks!! I bought them from esty.com and they are marvellous- Love them!! I liked them so much that I had to have them in two colours!! They are ever so comfy as well. My husband also spoilt me with a Tiffany & Co. wallet- it's too good to use, but have to bite the bullet and do the swap :)

I had a great day with my little family :) Lucy and I went down to Dampier (again!!) for coffee and lunch under the palms and then skype with the family back in Perth and had some very tasty Arras champagne with Nick- was the perfect day :)

Until next time as I'm off to play with Lucy now

Crochet goodies for Lucy!!

Well I have discovered the wonderful world of crocheting, thanks to my mum, and I'm hooked (pardon the pun). You can literally crochet anything and it's soooo easy once you get the basics and techniques down pat. So I have made my beautiful little Lucy some booties and a beanie for when we go down to perth soon, seeing as though it's going to be freezing for us both!!

I have also discovered the world of button making, so on Lucy's booties I have made the buttons as well. It's amazing what you can create when you put your mind to it and it's such a sense of achievement that you have made things yourself. Living in a world of disposable goods, it's so nice to see so many people creating and making things themselves these days :)
So now I am starting on a "Circles in a square" crochet blanket- looking forward to the end result.

This is what I'm wearing today- I bought this skirt secondhand from someone in Karratha and I absolutely love it- so I bought the same skirt in black from the same person. It fits perfectly with a breastfeeding singlet and white skirt and perfect for the windy days we are having up here at the moment.

Next post I'll show you my new shoes- however I have to wait till tomorrow to get them as they are my birthday present. So back to the blanket we go and playing with Lucy :)

Dress Ups!!

I love my clothes and now that I'm breast feeding I find it really restricting in what I can wear. So when I have the chance or when Lucy is asleep or happy to play on the bed, I go through my wardrobe and put an outfit on and take a photo of myself. I have then decided to dress up in clothes that I can breast feed in and I will start posting them on my blog-don't ask me why I just feel like doing it!!
I also have an addiction to the hipstamatic app on my phone so for the time being the photos are done in what I think is super duper!!!
Most of the outfits I put on I can't wear up in Karratha because it's a country town and if I walk around the shops looking like this I will stick out like a sore thumb. So bring on the day when we eventually move back to Perth :)

So here are just a few shots-

Most of the outfits I can wear here, just minus the heels :)
Next up- Lucy's crochet beanie and booties.

I'm back.. with a baby girl!!

Well it's been yet another year and a lack of posts, so lets hope that this year I actually make this happen!!
I have decided to start fresh by changing the name of my blog and layout.

So what have I done for the last year... I had a baby girl :)
Lucy Adele Bryant was born on the 22-02-2012 at 2200hr and she is the most precious gift I have ever been given. We are soooo in love with this beautiful girl that we have created :)
So I am a stay at home mum and absolutely loving life!!!

I have also managed to get behind my beloved Stella the Singer sewing machine and have made myself a breast feeding friendly dress. I find it so hard to find nice clothes that can accommodate breast feeding so I have decided to design and make my own. Below is my first dress and I have to say I love it!! Stay tuned for more clothes :) My mum has also got me into crocheting- which I love doing so will post my little creations as I go.

I'm really looking forward to sharing all things that I love and hopefully build my blog into something wonderful that I can share with everybody.

Stay tuned!!!!
