Homepage Makeover

Hot Choccie

After giving my blog & Etsy shop a well needed makeover (while drinking yummy hot chocolate), I decided it was time for my homepage too. Now they all have the same colour theme & I’m very happy with the new look.
If you have any feedback for me, just leave me a comment here on the blog. =)

I still have lots more photos to edit & more obi belts to add to Etsy. On that note I want to say thank you to my lovely friends for helping me, especially to my lovely Erica, who always helps me out when I need her & is the best creative friend a girl could have.
Thank you for being my biggest fan & for inspiring me, Love you!

New blog theme

I’ve been thinking of changing the look of my blog, I’ve had this theme since I started it, which is quite a few years ago.
So please bear with me, while I’m testing some things & playing around. =)

New Years Party Dress

Fabric close up New Years Party Dress

This is a New Years party dress I made for my sister-in-law, she was very happy with the dress. I can say I wasn’t a huge fan of sequins while making it, it’s abit too 80’s looking for me, but it looks very good on my SIL & that’s what is most important. =)

Prettiness & Crochet Yoda

Xmas Pressie Lovely Le Creuset

A lovely Xmas pressie for my new kitchen, not that we ever use salt & peppar shakers, but they are cute, Thanks Erica =D
The Le Creuset mini stoneware casserole pots I bought as a anniversary present for myself & my Sweetie, haven’t used them yet, but I will now that everything is almost fixed with the new kitchen.

Crochet Yoda

A crocheted Yoda I made as a gift for a friend from a pattern I found on a blog called Happy Together. Mine didn’t turn out quite so well, I think he looks more like sad puppy Yoda, but nevermind my friend was happy for his pressie. =)

New Kitchen

Our new kitchen has been installed, but it’s not finished just yet. We still have a few small problems, like missing doors & the kitchen fan isn’t attached properly.

Kitchen 1 Kitchen 2

Here’s what it looked like after we ripped out the old kitchen & while we were building the cupboards.

Kitchen 3 Kitchen 4

Cupboards are up, countertop is in, just missing tiles & a cooking area.
Fridge & freezer have cupboards above them again, woohoo!

Kitchen 5 Kitchen 6

And finally, tiles are up, some doors are attached, I love my new little corner. Things have been put back into cupboards, just need some extra shelves, the missing doors & a few handy kitchen products & all is good.
I love my (oops I mean our) new kitchen, I’m so happy with everything. Looking forward to baking some goodies & playing more with the Induction hob, I can seriously recommend it, so fun, water boils in 1 min. :D

Something to look forward to!

Kitchen tile Kitchen tile

Kitchen Now Kitchen Drawing

So this is what I’m looking forward to, we ordered a new kitchen. =)
It’s an Ikea kitchen, should be arriving this week, not sure when we are getting it installed yet, but if we’re lucky it will be before New Years.
So now we have a boring white kitchen, I don’t mind small touches of white here & there, but I really hate this kitchen. The new kitchen will be in oak, with a dark grey countertop & light grey tiles, the wall colour is staying the same & the appliances will still be white. The fridge & freezer are a few years old, the dishwasher is new & we are installning a new oven & induction hob.
I can’t wait until it’s complete & I get to reorganise all the cupboards, it’s going to be so fun =D

Fun Pressies For Me

Egg cups Lip balm

Lunch Bag Apron

I have lovely friends, they buy me the cutest little presents to cheer me up & I’ve needed some cheering up. I’m unemployed again, I hate being unemployed, I lose all energy & inspiration when I have too much time on my hands.
Anyway in the last few weeks my friends gave me these pressies. Polka dot egg cups, lip balm that looks like ice cream, a lunch bag that says “Todays lunch *Can contain traces of leftovers” & an apron that matches my tea mug I got last year, also when I had a bad day.

I have one big thing to look forward to, more on that tomorrow =)
