baby bunting

I had a request to make a Rainbow bunting for a baby shower.

Using the card stock I had already had and borrowing pink paper (in a house fill of boys we don't really use pink paper) from a friend during a craft evening. I got the bunting all cut...laid out and made in less than 2 hours. I found some awesome letters that I can use for scrapbooking and look nice and clean and easy to read for the bunting.

After deciding about colour placement of all the triangles and noticing I needed to start at the end and work backwards. Once all the letters were stuck on and then attaching the triangle shapes to the ribbon....I do really like how it turned out!!

Perfect for baby shower and as a cool decoration in a baby's room.

Fathers Day

Last year Fathers Day was the 1 year anniversary of the 7.1 earthquake. Thankfully this year was very quiet and we got to spend the day as a family. Master W kindly already told everyone at dinner earlier in the week what we brought Dad for Fathers Day......it saved on the wrapping paper!

We had a great day and I am so proud of Mr B for being such a wonderful dad to our boys!

The Sisterhood ninja baking drop

The Sisterhood  has organised a Ninja baking drop. I offered to bake for 4 women. Nominations were open to anyone who wanted to send some love to someone else! I received in the post the Sisterhood poem and some ribbon to attach to the baking. I received 4 nominees to deliver to over the 1st-2nd September.

Baking biscuits

I made a few batches of biscuits and got them packaged up with the ribbon and poem.

mmm...biscuits!

It was a real challenge to be a Ninja while dropping off the baking. It was really fun and an awesome start to my Saturday morning- giving 4 other women some love!
