Shoes glorious shoes

Well I have stuck to my no clothes shopping deal (almost 2 months now - so proud of myself and Mazzy for battling through) but that does not extend to shoes!

I came across these in Nine West when I was waiting for the girls to go and see Twilight - Breaking Dawn (yes I am a closet Twilight fan). Fell in love with them on the first stride. Couldn't decide between yellow or black and opted for the yellow. I have never had a pair of shoes this comfortable before, wear them all day at work and then out after, bliss.

Had to restrain myself the next day from going back and buying them in black as well. However, hehe I did get a pair of royal blue summer sandals from Zara and a tan pair of thick strapped sandals too.... 

Think thats my sandal collection set for summer, now bring on the warmer weather.

Till next time.

Let them eat cake....

Well it was a nightmare but the final product turned out ok. Have to say that this cake was a comedy of errors, from the fondant not sticking to the images not unsticking lol.

It was a red and green velvet cake to keep in with the Rabbitohs theme, icing was white choc and cream cheese, with a layer of white fondant covered in more white choc. Nom nom nom.

Suffice to say it was an awesome day and the birthday boy even shed a tear. Happy 30th Patty!

Till next time.

Snip snip snip

Well I am proud to announce that my fringe is now long enough to wear out! Yay!!! Thank god for GHDs I have no idea how I would get on without mine.

A couple of weeks ago my parents were over visiting from NZ and we went out to an amazing Polish restaurant called Alchemy Cafe on Crown St in Surry Hills. I highly recommend this place as the food is delish, portions always satisfy and the staff (our waiter) are downright hot!! This is the pork and potatoe rosti that I had, reminded me of my nanas cooking - nom nom nom.



So Betty has finally been used! I made a couple of skirts on the weekend as it was actually quite disturbing that she was sitting in our lounge naked. Cannot wait to really get my sew on.

Serious applause has to go out to my awesome flatmate Gillian for creating this pavalova masterpeice last night. Suffice to say that this was her first attempt ever and I am impressed. Now that I know she has these skills for all parties now on she will be the designated dessert chick :) Hope there is still some left when I get home tonight.

Its my friend Pats 30th Birthday today! So being the craft critter that I am (with the help of my trusty sidekick Mazzy) we have made the following card in celebration of all things Patrick - I have a feeling once he sees this we will deffo be off his christmas card list. Keep your eyes peeled for another birthday creation.

Well thats all from me for now.

Till next time.

Formulations

Argh I appologise for being a slack cat. But I come bearing good news!!

We have a graphic designer for our business! Keep you peepers on this page as soon (fingers crossed) we will have our logo and website sussed. Feel like things are finally on track again now and gaining momentum fast. Have requests coming in already eeek, need to lock in some serious sewing time.

On another note we had our monthly stitch n bitch session on Saturday. Was a lovely day gossiping with the girls, getting our craft on and singing along to late 90's/early 00's music (scary that I can still remember all the lyrics yet can't remember anything else I learnt at highschool). I made a gorgeous floral green two layer skirt for Gillian and now want to make one myself.

Well with Betty I can.......yip I have named her already and she is going to help me create numerous items as I have found that it is just a pain in the proverbial to try and fit things on myself and ends up being a bit of hit and miss with my measurements sometimes.

Anyway keep a look out for our new logo soon!!

Till next time,
Nic xx
