“All children are artists. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up.”
Pablo Picasso

At Mammas and Munchkins this morning, Elijah painted there lovely pictures with EDIBLE paint! He had heaps of fun… and insisted on giving the bottom picture to Uncle Daniel and the top one is especially for Ouma and Oupa.

Kudos to Cindy, Kirsty, Zoe and the team of fabulous creative mammas who organise the monthly Mammas and Munchkins meetings!

I made this picture today for the baby room… I thought the quote was cute…

I bought a pair of hemp shoes from a bead shop in Parow the other day, for R50, and I thought it would be super cute to put buttons on. This is how they turned out. Cost me about R65 in total, and I have buttons left over :)

I’ve finally decided to take the leap and start a crafty shop … please check out the beginnings of this at my new tumblr site… I would love your feedback!

Don’t you just think Audrey was the most beautiful, classy woman ever?

I’m addicted to printables and free downloads.

Since I spend hours downloading from other people’s sites, I figured maybe its time to give back. This is my first attempt at the designing, so please forgive the flaws.

I wanted to make something personalised from mama to son, for Elijah’s room. Something pretty that could fit the theme, and go above his cot/bed… for as long as its “cool”. SO I made this sign:

His theme is sheep – and I thought the “dream” sign was awesome as a baby decor thing – also the whole counting sheep idea…

“I am the good shepherd; I know my sheep and my sheep know me— just as the Father knows me and I know the Father—and I lay down my life for the sheep.” John 10:14-15

Since becoming pregnant, I have noticed a serious lack of affordable, pretty, and modest maternity wear. Its so frustrating, knowing I’ll wear something for 4 or 5 months only, and that stores expect me to pay over R300 per top. So I decided to buy some patterns and get sewing. Easier said than done… we couldn’t find a single maternity pattern. In the end my mom and I settled for some tunic style tops, and planned to just widen them or something, to fit my tummy.

Last Saturday I made this top… it did take me about 7 hours from start to finish, but it looks nice and is fairly comfy actually. I will just never try that material again, it was super slippery and I thought I was going to scream. Hopefully when the curtains and wrap that I have to make are done, I shall attempt another top, but from cotton rather.

Please excuse the bad quality photo…
