Bambini ad and bits of home

I picked up the Autumn/Winter 2009 Bambini magazine yesterday, I find these so inspiring - the fashion styling is really whimsical, and there are so many great ideas in children's design. Anyhow, this issue has a full page advertising feature for Perfect Amity nature hats, with photos I took just over a year ago. Interesting that my photo style has changed a bit, but I still think they look good all together like that - the one of Ash is definitely still my fave from the shoot!

Here is another page from the magazine, Bambini also featured one of Steph's hats in a fashion feature (the Red Riding Hood one!).

I finished the other three cushions for our lounge suite, here are a couple of them in their new spots. Now there is only one old cushion on the lounge suite, looking pretty drab compared to the new ones! So I will make a fifth, slightly larger cushion cover out of something else soon.
I made felt tabs for our suitcase last week, stitching them on to keyrings and winding the keyrings on to the broken zips of the suitcase. Who knows how long they will last, but they look cute :)
OK so this is totally only interesting for interstate family members, but we had an eventful couple of days in the kitchen last week. On Thursday our friend Jay came and rebuilt half of our cupboards to make a cavity for a dishwasher, that same morning Kell and I went and picked up the dishwasher (I had it on layby, paid off and awaiting pickup for a little while). Then on Friday our electrician Bruce was here putting in power and network points, and he put in a powerpoint for the dishwasher. Next step is the plumbing bit, but we're nearly there :)

Yesterday Sienna and I went to Knox shopping centre to get our hair cut, and we checked out a few shops while we were there. This is Sienna's new pencil case from Smiggle... pretty cute!

And this is Ash yesterday. He loves having his picture taken. No creating to share today, I have a very-nearly finished layout but it might have to wait until we get back from Hobart (less than 3 days until our trip!). By then I'll have layouts to share from the next issue of Scrapbook Creations, which has eight of my pages in it... I think it might be my record, or close to it, for one issue! Some layouts I can't wait to share, one uses photos that Ash took of Sienna and I, and another has one of my fave photos of my nephew Caden. All coming soon to my blog...
