Hestor's Birthday

Hestor has graced our lives with his quirky personality for less than a year so thought it would be nice to celebrate his first Birthday with us (A good excuse for a party too). So Brittany and I made him a special 'Mouse' cake, and we gave him a very stylie retro cool cat bowl by ModPet on Etsy.

I think he was quite happy with his party. Not too interested in the cake though, but that's OK, more for us!

Paper Plane Creations

My nephew Harrison made me this very special gift for my Birthday last month. Apparently he spent most of his Saturday afternoon planning and making this present for me.

What more could a girl want but a bag of hand made individually unique paper planes? The best bit was the note - totally love the kisses crossed out at the bottom (Harrison hates kisses with a passion!). So the hugs will have to do, and I love the fact that he thinks I'm 'cool' just like paper planes!

Dinky-Dye Trio

Louisa from Victor Print & Design recently purchased my Dinky-Dye trio. It is so wonderful seeing the prints framed and in their new surroundings. I'm really loving them in the white frames (RIBBA from IKEA), makes the images POP.

So so happy that Louisa wanted to add a touch of retro Australian to her mid-century and industrial styled design studio.

BTW the friendly folk over at Victor Print & Design are currently running a photo competition with some great prizes up for grabs. Check it out > 

Happy Birthday to Me!

I'm so excited, Denis gave me a Silhouette SD craft cutter for my birthday on the weekend! I'm really looking forward to playing around with different paper weights and designs, and also working out some unique uses for this crafty toy.

It is basically like a printer that you connect directly to your computer, but instead of printing it cuts different materials including magnet, card, adhesive, and fabric.

Who knows where this experimentation will lead, and what new products might be born. My brain is already filling up with ideas!
