Now being on a pretty tight budget has meant that I have been doing my research and shopping around for those bits and pieces I want to buy to make our transition into the new house that little bit nicer, needless to say a shopping trip to IKEA was in store for us last week and it gave me the chance to meet up with a good friend Kate and her two adorable kids Anouk and baby Oscar. Sax was lucky enough to get a lovely pressie care of Kate and her mum in the way of a lovely warm dressing gown which I am sure is going to come in handy as the weather gets colder. He is fascinated with the little spacey alien/monsters all over it and insists on wearing it around the house most days (even though weather is still quite warm).
To break up our routine today I thought a batch of cupcakes for morning tea was in order. I had some leftover Passionfruit butter from the batch I made for the markets a few weeks ago so what better a filling topped off with some whipped vanilla cream, Yumo!
I have also been meaning to share a pic of a little bird brooch that I made a few weeks ago on my way to the BrisStyle catch-up. I actually caught the train for the first time in quite a while and it gave me a lovely hour to myself to just sit and sew which was really nice. I also made a couple of other little birds, one for Em and for the lovely Robyn of Hotfudge which I included in the BrisStyle present swap.
One last thing to share, Em and I also found some spare time to whip up some more felt hairclips for the markets a few weeks ago (our stocks were getting quite low). I will hopefully find some time to list some new ones on our ETSY store over the next few weeks. I also made some more pony tail holders (most of which have sold which is great!) so I will need to order some more covers and hopefully will get the chance to make another batch after our move. 
Hope you all have a happy week, take careBel x
