It's my birthday!

It is my birthday today and I have been so spoilt! My mixer blew up on Sunday while I was baking cupcakes to take to work, so today I received an AWESOME mixmaster from John & Talia! LOVE IT! LOVE IT! LOVE IT!!!!! I couldn't resist today by baking some more cupcakes with my new mixer! I baked some peach & vanilla cupcakes today with cream frosting and I coloured the coconut for the topping.

We had morning tea at work yesterday and I baked some mudcake muffins and cappacino cupcakes with a meringue topping. I used my cupcake stand and I forgot to take a photo, it looked awesome! But managed to take a pic of 2 cupcakes before John demolised them!

Here are some of the pressies I have recieved, some boots from my sis, cupcake stand from my mother-in-law(pic above), mixer from John & Talia.

I also had a wonderful card made from Talia at daycare yesterday. It's the first hand & footprints that we have of her. Thank Nicole & Jess! I did try once when she was really little, but ended up with paint everywhere and no prints....
I have had the most enjoyable day today. Here are some things that happened on my b'day!
Morning tea with Nikki at McCafe, I hopped out of the shower this morning and turned around and there was Angel sitting in the wet shower!, also some pics of mummy & Talia. The most memorable thing today was having a dance with Talia to playschool...... our own little moment....






















As my parents are RVing around USA, I told mum I'd keep her updated on Talia on my blog. Here she is crawling around on the weekend. She is now standing up and desperately grabbing onto anything she can pull herself up on!

Pacifier Clip

When you have a sick baby & husband, it's time to sterilize the house! While sterilizing the dummies I noticed Talia has been sucking on her Pacifier Clip forever! So time for a new one.

Here is the clean new one and the old (pink & black) clip....

I have made her a new Pacifier Clip that matches her Tote Bag & Hat, with Denim & Pink. It has a wider band so it is harder for her teething gums to chew on. However I did have a quick thought to myself...It is missing a "T" to personalize it.... ohh well....

Now enough sewing for Talia, time to get cracking on some orders I have to do!

I hope everyone is rugging up during the chilly mornings....

Cheers Lee

Bonnet, Booties & Mittens

I have a very clever Nanny! Before she left for her holiday she knitted me a Bonnet & Booties and I love them!!! Thank you Nanny, I love you and will miss you! Love Talia xxx
We have had a few Milestones for Talia lately.

• She has started slowly crawling, even if it is to reach for toys & food!
• She is also now saying "ba ba ba...", so she now has mmm & bbbb down pact and hasn't stopped talking all day!! Another chatterbox in the house... poor John....

I have been looking for some knitted fingerless mittens in a babies size and haven't found anything.... So I made my own with some old baby socks, just cut out the toes and a tiny hole for her thumb and they work great, so i'll do some more soon! They do the job and keep her hands warm!
