The week so far....

We're nearly halfway through the busy, busy week and all is going well.

Saturday was spent baking a birthday cake for my twins' birthday party which we had on Sunday. Thankfully they picked one I had done before that is quite easy - the Pink Piggy - so it didn't take too long...

mmmm the cake mix...


Harry testing out the cake mix...


Placing all the pieces...


The finished masterpiece....


Then the kids went over to their Granny and Grandad's for a sleepover and we went to a 30th Birthday Party - sorry, no photo's yet.

Then Sunday was the birthday party - it was just family this year (we do the big parties with their friends every 2nd year) but was still around 20 people!!

The kids with their Great Auntie Val who knitted these gorgeous Topsy Turvey dolls for Riley and Charlotte. (you know.. they are asleep at one end and then you pull the dress over and they are awake at the other end).


Charlotte, Riley and Harry - so hard to get a good photo with them all looking!!


Trying to do the Party Poppers...


Posing with the cake...


So, the rest of the week to come is Riley and Charlotte's actual birthday tomorrow (not doing a lot, just taking them to the park before Harry's swimming lesson - we'll probably have a little picnic for morning tea - then pizza for dinner), Saturday is the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market:


and then Sunday is birthday party number 1 at 10am and birthday party number 2 at 2pm. I think I'm going to be pretty damn pooped by Sunday night!!!

Oh, by the way, in case you missed the BrisStyle segment on The Great South East on Sunday afternoon, here it is:

Enjoy!!

Lots going on this week....

Firstly, make sure you tune into Channel 7 this Sunday 28th June at 5:30pm to catch and glimpse of me and some other BrisStyle Members on The Great South East. You might also see my little twinnies doing a bit of modelling!!

Here's a photo of some of us with the host Sofie and Producer Carol:


Speaking of my twinnies, they will be turning 5 next week. OMG, where does the time go!! In one way it feels like they've been around forever and 5 years doesn't seem like any time at all but on the other hand it feels like just the other day I was coming home from hospital with an empty back seat (thankfully I was allowed to bring them home two days later!). Here they are bundled up into the pram (which they didn't even fit into) to get to the car:


Here's a photo I took the other day of Riley and Charlotte (doing a bit of modelling for me):


The blouse's they are wearing are my new "Beachie Blouse" that I've started making. I originally made them to throw on over swimmers or for a light summer top but they look really great over a long sleeve & jeans for winter too. Here's another one:


I've listed two of them in my Etsy store but I'll be listing the third one soon and getting them into my Made It store too.

Anyway, back to the birthdays. We're having a little family party (still more than 20 people though!!) for the girls on Sunday as it was the only day in the next couple of weekends that we could fit it in. Not great timing though as we've got my sister-in-law's 30th on Saturday night. Might be a bit hungover.... eeeekk.

Then, it's also my sister's birthday today, my newest sister-in-law next Friday and next weekend we have two kids birthday parties to go to on Sunday. Whew.... gonna be tired after that !!

And that's after I have my stall at the fabulous BrisStyle Market next Saturday:



I'm feeling tired already......
