Baby Shower
Hi readers,
I have been so busy lately preparing for my sister-in-laws baby shower. Well it is all over with now, but we had a great afternoon yesterday.
Below are some photos I managed to snap in between cooking and fetching drinks!

The invitations I made for the shower. I found the idea on pinterest, but instead of sewing the fabric on, I glued it. Much easier!

My String Art
Hello!
Recently, I was inspired to create my own string art (you can read about it here). I decided to take on something simple to begin with - a heart.
It was pretty easy to create - I purchased a pack of cork floor tiles from Bunnings for $12 (I used two of the other ones for another project).
I painted the tile white with acrylic paint and a roller. I printed a heart on to two sheets of A4 paper and then stuck them on to the cork tile. I then began pushing the nails in to the cork. I used a pencil as a 'spacer'. I used a small screw in the centre - it is a bit stronger than the very small nails.
Then comes the fun part - attaching the string! Pretty easy - just wind the floss around the nails. I purchased DMC floss from Spotlight. I needed about three lots.
Voila! Very inexpensive and interesting art.
What do you think? I think it looks great on my new bookcase.

Hello readers,
A couple of weeks ago, I came across the amazing house of Heidi from clothing label Sass and Bide.
Heidi and her family in the Northern Sydney suburb of Palm Beach. This house is to die for!
