Melbourne Cup Horses

My mothers group has an annual party for the Melbourne Cup.  I hosted this year, most of the afternoon was spent in the pool as it was 35 and steamy!  Highlight of the day...adorable horse pastries made by one of the other moms.  Such a great idea, puff pastry cut out as horses topped with sprinkles and some powdered sugar.  Adorable! -kb

Spring cleaning for a cause?

I've been doing some serious spring cleaning...kids clothes, my clothes, cupboards etc. all getting a good clear out.  Donations being made, items listed on ebay and packages of hand-me-downs sent to family.  Am planning to treat myself to one of these adorable and very eco-friendly cups with my ebay earnings...the house will be tidier, the environment will be less filled with my coffee cups and I'll be none the happier.-kb

Quilt 7

This project is coming along very well...I've started on part two.  Not much posting going on here, just focusing on all of the projects I have unfinished...-kb

Spring Flowers

These little lovelies arrived in the mail the other day...Emerson made.  Her site is super quirky and her style is uncompromisingly beautiful. -kb

Princess and the pea goes to work...

I couldn't resist making something for myself with some of the amazing Heather Ross fabric I bought from Corrie.  I am not so into novelty prints, so this was certainly a departure for me.  After making this simple skirt I thought I could maybe get away with wearing it to work.  Paired with a Banana Republic knit and Michael Kores Shoes defiantly work worthy.  Scout will soon be sporting a matching dress.  I know super geeky, but I don't care!

Last week Singapore was a disaster.  Not only did I get the flu while there, Mark and the kids also had the flu back here in Sydney.  I was not only sick, but worried sick about the three of them.  Thank goodness their lovely nanny pampered them like crazy by Friday I was home and we were all feeling fantastic.  Shopping in Singapore however was very very short.  A few bits and peices but the good shopping fun will have to wait until next time.

Ok...yes I know I should try to comb my hair prior to photos in the future! -kb

Singapore

Next week I have 72 hours in Singapore, 10 hours of of which I think I can squeeze in shopping! I have a few favs (Muji, Banana Republic) I want to visit, but was also hoping to go to some fabric/crafty shops.  Recommendations? -kb
