Presentation Is Everything People

I thought I would show you a house listed for sale I found on realestate.com.au. Clearly this Real Estate Agent isn't worth his grain of salt! I mean come on; presentation is everything people! How hard would it be to wash up and maybe get rid of those hand towels hanging from everyone of those bloody door handles.....Absolutely hilarious! And I do apologise in advance if this just happens to be your house for sale.

Now On the other hand......

Stunning, Stunning, Stunning....

Gorgeous enclosed wraparound verandas....

What a cosy bedroom and to have a fireplace in the bedroom is my dream.....zzz

Isn't this house just gorgeous? All white, tongue & groove walls, cosy nooks and fireplaces galore.....I wouldn't mind living here for the winter......

Stylist Stalking: Sam Moiler

To DIE for......Love, Love, Love this!

So Sweet....

Too Cute

I actually had the pleasure of meeting Sam Moiler last Thursday. My mother introduced me to her whilst we down the street sipping our Latte's. My mum did tell me that she was a freelance stylist and had done some work for Real Living Magazine (which I am a huge fan of!) but I didn't quite realise just who she was (or how good) until I got home and googled her! Her work is absolutely amazing and she is just stunning in person! You can see more of her work here and check out her website here. Apparently she was head stylist at the Sydney Morning Herald for three years and has now become a freelancer. She is also fashion editor for My Child magazine. I think I want to throw up I am so jealous........

Gaudy Grecian Glamour

Don't you just love my ceramic & gold goblets? I just found them down at our local op shop for $1 a piece! I bought all six of them because I just love outlandish, showy, Grecian, tastelessly ornamented gaudiness! Come on' tell me how much you love them!!

In The Family Way.....

Today I thought I would let you in on my little secret......I am pregnant! I am only just 11 weeks and have been getting all day sickness, heartburn, and feel like a freight train has run over me, twice - but apart from that, all is well.......On to the next dilemma: I don't know whether I should find out the sex or not? I didn't when I was pregnant with Yasmin and was convinced I was having a boy! (Lucky I went with a neutral theme for the nursery). But this time around I feel like I need to be more prepared and want to start collating ideas for the nursery!! Oh the perils of pregnancy.... What do you think I should do, keep it a secret or find out and start decorating?

And again....

The Society Inc

I just love Sibella Court's styling. Every magazine I buy it seems that a lot of the pictures have been styled by Sibella. So it was no surprise last night to found out that she is now one of the judges on HomeMADE a new program that aired last night on the Nine network which you can find here. This lady just amazes me and check out her NYC Loft apartment. This photo shoot is old and she is now living in Australia but these photos from Inside Out Magazine where just so pretty to pass up and my favourite......Sibella has also opened up her own shop in Paddington Sydney aptly named "The Society Inc".

Happy Mothers Day!

To all you lovely yummy mummy's out there - Happy Mothers Day!

I hope you all get spoilt rotten and here's to hoping mine goes something like this.......

• A delicious (late) Breakfast @ at my favourite cafe after my morning sleep in.
• Open up my present.
• A nice long walk or maybe swim (weather permitting) at the beach, to burn off all those (well deserved) calories after breakfast.
  

And of course a huge "Happy Mothers Day" to my mommy dearest who is the most wonderful Mum in the world! Thanks for having me mum and being so nice to me all of these years...you are the best...

xoxo

Happy Birthday Mazie!

Happy birthday Mazie Mouse!

I hope you drive your mum tragically insane with your new guitar I bought you..........

Of course I had to buy one for your little cousin as well so you could both play together today!

Lots of Love your favourite Aunty

Brisbane Stitches & Craft Show

"Tips & Tricks Wall"

Imagine these pin cushions made very large and in a children's corner for reading a book on! Next Project!

Did I ever tell you I am left-handed? And that I am quite un-coordinated with stitching. Well know you know......you see I have learnt a very, very, valuable lesson in this life.....it goes something like this.

When I was young in high school I used to take sewing classes and I always got extremely frustrated (and so did the teachers) because it took me a little longer than usual to do the normal stuff: like pinning and sewing in a straight line. (It does not come easy for me) You see the teachers used to look at the way I sewed backwards, and pinned, and cut, and cried and of course felt sorry for me and they would end up showing the poor, uncoordinated left-hander what to do which would then dramatically end in them completing my project, hence me learning nothing at all regarding sewing. As I was young and dumb and quite the manipulator I quickly cottoned-on to this theory and at home when ever a sewing task came to hand (no matter how menial) my very neat, very pedantic and very perfect sewing mum saw my (over exaggerated) distress and came to my rescue again "showing" me what to do and thus completing all sewing projects.

I am however pleased to announce that since my teenage years I have improved sewing, however I still sometimes need someone (usually mother) to be by my side to answer questions, catch tears and make me copious amounts of coffee as the tasks at hand usually take a while to complete. Which brings me know to the 'Craft Bar' at the Stitches and Craft show. A lovely lady taught us how to hand-sew a pin cushion using a lovely Liberty of London fabric that took our fancy. Upon arrival I explained my left-handed-ness and she said she would help which she did - with out taking over and the result was this gorgeous hand-sewn, floral, stitches-coming-apart-at-the-corners, blood soaked pin cushion. I couldn't be prouder, however I will not be showing the photo........

Craft Corner

Hi again! Today I decided to make my paper doily fairy lights that I have been meaning to do for a while. I have decided to put them in my daughters room as currently she is extremely scared of the dark, so tonight, (fingers crossed) when we put her to bed we will leave them on and then turn them off once she is in the land of nod. These are so easy to make and took so little time (like ten minutes!) and the look is so pretty and feminine, perfect I think for a wedding also! They are sitting on Yasmin's boudoir at the moment that I did up (which I will show you on another post) but I think I might wrap them around her bedhead so she has a warm pretty light surrounding her while she nods off to sleep.........

Collette Dinnigan's old house

I just l-o-v-e celebrity houses and always want to nosey on in to their homes to see how they live so when I saw these pictures over at the Swish & Swanky Blog I couldn't resist posting them. Collette's house is everything I ever imagined it to be......elegant, sophisticated, sleek and of course a little bit whimsy - just like the beautiful creations she makes.......If your anything like me and want to celebrity stalk houses pop on over to The Real Estalker. Yo Mama is absolutely hilarious and full of gossip, fun, and of course great celebrity abodes!
