A Pink Baby Shower

As Themba and Sharon await the great day when the little one arrives, we were all invited to a very lovely and meaningful baby shower.

The house was beautifully decorated with all things pink and there were loads of food....yes....loads of food! The atmosphere was warm and the guests were terribly friendly. I could have sworn that I had just entered a Malaysian home because of the hospitality.

Lots of pink all around the apartment

I made the baby a quilt and her sister an apron.

I hope it fits!

And these are the 25 invitation cards

And officially this is the post with the most number of photos....time to exit.

Robyn's First Birthday

I believe that babies bring out the best in us. When it comes to milestones, it is indeed a pleasure to be able to share the joy of the occasion. Michael and I went for our grand-daughter's first birthday party and the occasion was beautifully themed. Minnie mouse made her presence felt and that reminds me, I must book a ticket for Disneyland before the child in me disappears.

The gorgeous angel was the centre of attention and had no lack of kisses and hugs and presents. I decided to make her a card and a cat - way before I went back to Malaysia because I knew that with the jet lag and all, my creative cells would go into slumber mode.

The materials for the card came from a variety of places: the background card stock which I've embossed is from Gorjuss (Scotland), the toppers are from Craftcuts (Philippines), flowers, heart doily and bling from Big (Malaysia).

The cat is made from Cath Kidston print and I still have some of the material left over to make into a shopping bag.

The proud parents

The handsome grand pas

One for the album

And not forgetting Minnie Mouse, created in 1928, but has never aged since.

Craft Fair at Quay Arts

Finally the day has arrived. After a month of preparation, Michael and I made our way to the craft fair. The doors opened at 11a.m. and already most of the stall vendors had set up their stalls! Praise God I had a lovely table to display my crafts.

Two of my friends had also booked tables to display their wares.

Maria and her daughter Laura were there with their lovely tatting pieces - collars, christmas ornaments etc.

Kathleen showcased her home-made scrubs and creams.....lovely smells

The best part for me was when my friends came from far and near. It felt good to see familiar faces and it was certainly very encouraging.

And I made new friends too -  Jill with her handpainted cards and Lisa with her Christmas stuff.

It was wonderful to see people admiring and buying the stuff that I made. God has given us many talents and gifts. And these are some of the stuff that I did...

So, for now I'm going to fold my hands and go for a lovely, relaxing holiday ...
