rocco's booties

have finally plucked up the courage to get out the new sewing machine and make another pair of booties for baby rocco. Saved so much time but I still am not confident on the sewing machine...practise makes perfect. Tried to make them look a bit like skate shoes with a bit of tread on the souls...not totally happy with them needs a bit of tweaking but not to bad for a first effort. Here's the results...also made a binky/toy holder.


booties on.
here is the loveable boy and his gorgeous mum.

domesticity!!!

chicken has decided that she loves helping mum with the vaccuming...I'm sure every little girl goes thru this stage...just thought you'd like to see some cute shots of how she likes to vaccum...

flashback creations

Just was looking back through some of my photo logs and came across the cakes we made for bubba's 1st and 2nd birthdays
1st was a rocket, even with blasting jets(sparkler) I think we got the idea from a womans day cake book??


2nd birthday was a crocodile in water. I must add that I design the creations and hubby masterfully creates!!! Gotta love that man. Water was made from jelly crushed.

baby creations

like a mentioned a couple of posts ago I have been inspired by little birdie... have a heap of friends with new bubs so here are the creations...
Some adorable little girl booties for little willow (personally love the fact that there is no pink!!!)

A baby dummy holder thingy (not sure what to call it) for little tom.


And these are the booties in the making for little tom
Will have more when I get more time to finish...Isnt that a mother eternal wish - more time!

sitting on a crocodile!!!(just a tend one)
All in all tis a great place to take kids and non aussies if you are ever in the area.

Do you roll or scrunch???

No I'm not talking about toilet paper!!! But in our house at the moment bubba feels that it is cool to roll his socks. This is so irritating because when I was a kid it was sooo uncool to roll everyone scrunched their socks!!! So silly I know....so I thought I'd ask you all what you do...roll or scrunch???

There has been a lot of sickness lately in our residence!!! Hopefully we are all now over it. This is a shot of the 2 munchkins looking a little worse for wear!
