pink+blue

just dropping in to say hi!

i'm currently back in WA again, relishing the (slightly) warmer air and the good company of family and friends. its so good to see everyone again!

while I have been here I've had a bit of time on my hands, as holiday-makers do. i've indulged in a few activities in preparation for the arrival (early next year) of the newest addition addition to our little family!

first I have dabbled in a bit of sewing on my mom's old (but very speedy!) Bernina, this little blue bib being the successful result of a rainy afternoon indoors. the ideas and pattern come from amy karol's book bend-the-rules sewing...and there's some more of her work on her blog angry chicken :)

secondly i have begun practicing what young mums do best - going out with friends/family for delicious morning teas! emma threw a delightful little tea party for her birthday this week, and this gorgeous pink cupcake is just a sample of some of the edible temptations that were on offer. thanks for the lovely party emma :)

(and thanks aimee for letting me borrow your brilliant 50mm lens even though i took it without asking)!
