sweet tooth
Has it been almost a week already since Father's Day? What better way to start the day than to be woken up with a cup of coffee and a peanut and banana tart from Becasse Bakery? Oh, so sweet (almost too sweet for first thing in the morning!) and only because it was a special occasion. The day was spent with family, eating a little too much and some fishing and bike riding thrown in to make the most of the gorgeous day!

A present
I did it...... I pulled out the sewing machine, plugged it in, ignored the housework, didn't think about dinner and sewed.
Ashley's dear friend Eliza had her birthday today and I made a little pouch to store some felt pens and paper. I have used the pattern before from here and love it!

birthday banner
My sister-in-law is celebrating her birthday today so we made a little birthday cake banner for her. The idea came from this little tutorial. It was a lot of fun to make and we had all the bits we needed right at home.

need a holiday idea?
It's school holidays here and we have been enjoying spending more time together and not rushing around here, there and everywhere.
.......my favourite.
Our favourite holiday project so far! We found ours here, which I have to say is the best toy store around so if you are looking for something to do, it is definitely worth a visit!
Today we opened one of these Djeco projects and we spent hours on these beautiful pictures. There are four prints in a box (each so gorgeous, it was difficult to choose a favourite), felt markers, and instructions on how to colour and decorate.
........here are our finished products.

a thimble list
I am a list person. I write out grocery lists over morning coffee, scribble on the back of receipts whilst in the car and even wake up in the middle of the night sometimes to write down things I need to remember in a notebook next to my bed.
A thimble list.......is a list of small things that make you happy. I came across the idea here, and thought it was such a nice idea!
So here goes my thimble list:
- make coffee for hubby in the morning (he is usually the one to make our coffees each morning!)
- pull out a sewing project that has been started but not finished (oh, there are so many)
- meet up with a friend for a coffee
- try a new recipe
- bring home a bunch of flowers for home
The best thing about this list is......you can make a new one each day!
