Ella & Olivia - BONUS GIFT THIS MONTH!

 Things have settled down a bit here now, and we are getting used to life with two gorgeous girls in the family now. Zoe is a delight and it's wonderful to have a new baby in the house again. Meanwhile life goes on, and I have two brand new Ella & Olivia books out this month.

 

Horses have always been the one thing that I can't draw, so the Pony Problems book was quite a challenge. I am pretty happy with how this little pony turned out though! What do you think?

 It's worth trying to grab a copy of these ones as they each come with a cute little bonus necklace.

 

 Jade has to wear them both at the same time as she can't decide which one she likes best!

She's here!

Our gorgeous girl arrived a little earlier than expected, choosing to come into the world on Monday the 18th. She is a delight and her big sister already adores her. We love you Zoe.

Big Sister pack

I wish I had time to paint a design on this t-shirt myself, but as I dont, I cheated and used these gorgeous iron-on designs to create a BIG SISTER t-shirt. I have put together a special pack of goodies to make Jade feel special when the new baby arrives. It was lots of fun actually and is helping me to get even more excited that the big day is so close!

My finished cupboard!

Ta - dah! Not sure if you can see the detail, but I managed to paint spots on each of the handles. I love it. The drawers are lined with blue spotty contact paper from Bunnings!

More nesting

I have finally found time to paint the handles for the green cupboard we are fixing up. Inspired by some great colours. Hopefully tomorrow they can actually be attached to the drawers! (Once I add some spots!)

Easter gift idea!

If you are looking for something different to give as a gift this Easter, why not try a copy of my new (revised) book: MY AUSSIE EASTER ACTIVITY BOOK. It's full of fun Australian characters, with lots of great activities and colouring projects to keep the little ones busy.

Serious nesting in progress

We are on the countdown now, with just under five weeks until the arrival of our new baby. I am in serious nesting mode now, but it seems to have developed beyond the nursery - to Jade's room and the rest of the house! My Dad has been pitching in to help paint and restore things, while Mum has hit the sewing machine for me. Poor Ray has been the moving man, shuffling cupboards and furniture around to suit my changing mind! Here's a bit of a snap shop of what's been happening around here. (How did all that yellow get in there?!)
