The Eastern ...and Me!

Late last year I had the most amazing opportunity; to open for The Eastern (from chch) at Donovan's Store in Okarito.

Was such a good night and great to play with them in front of a packed crowd of 50ish friends.

Thanks to our good friend Ben Sarten for the wonderful photography and videography.

60th Birthday Cake

My mums 60th was last month and I went over the east coast to celebrate with the whanau.  With the help of a good friend who is a baker and cake expert, I managed to make this Mississippi Mud Cake for my mum.
My friend made the lily flower, and I painted it.

When Life Hands You Lemons...



Make cordial... and lemon curd... and lemon meringue pie... !

I put a call out on Facebook for lemons, as you do... and I certainly got lemons!! 

This is my daughters lemon cordial she is going to sell at the Okarito Market Day next month. Hoping that it keeps alright until then!

 

 

Bag for a Friend

A bag I also made a few weeks ago for a girl at work, I was really pleased with how it turned out.. Bag Brief: PURPLE.  Think I got it.
Found the purple fabric in an awesome shop in Methvyn, was originally pillowcases which turned out to be perfect size for making a bag!
Lined in the same fabric.

Purse for a Friend

Hi there!
Haven't blogged for SUCH a long time as things have been crazy busy, hoping to get back into it now...
Made this purse last week for a good friend of mine who loves bright and funkiness. She wanted it padded for her iphone, so it's sandwiched with batting and free embroidered on both sides, and lined.
