Nice Surprises...

I have been meaning to share these pics for ages. A good friend of ours Kate did some knitting for me before Xav was born and made us this beautiful little cardy. Unfortunately our little budda grew quite quickly plus it has gotten pretty warm here to, but he did look extremely cute in it when he wore it.Kate also surprised us with a lovely gift when Xavier was born she had made him this beautiful outfit, complete with little socks and all (the little Red bits are little cars). I just love it to bits and it will definitely be something that is put in Xav’s keep sake box to show him when he is bigger.

Recently Em and I got a rare couple of hours off without our bigger boys and were lucky enough to be invited to the launch party of NOOK, Brisbane’s latest handmade shop. I brought a cute little Black Bird Brooch from pirdy and I just love it ♥

For a bit more of a wrap up of the launch party and to see some more pics, visit Helen of Ruby Red’s blog. I can’t wait to visit Michelle again soon and see what goodies she has in store.

Being a stay at home mum I have to say I do quite a bit of on-line shopping and it is always exciting when those little packages arrive in the mail (I love mail!, except for the bills of course) so I was super excited when I recently received my order from Paper Boat Press.

I have been meaning to place an order for ages, but an on-line sale gave me that excuse I have been looking for. I am still waiting for the little Christmas Stars I ordered to arrive for both mine and Em’s boys but I was so happy with the stuff I did receive and I am sure the special recipient who I order a few little things for will love them just as much as me ☺

Have a great day, Bel x

Tis' the season for giving :)

Hi All

Well Em and I had a lovely time on Saturday catching up with lots of the BrisStyle girls at our end of year catch up. I have to say I felt very spoilt as I ended up receiving some beautiful gifts...

From my Secret Santa (Teneale from Wicked Child Designs) I got a lovely 'Belly Burping Belinda' softie. I have to say Teneale's toys in real life are more beautiful than on the net and so well made.

I also got a couple of surprises, one being a bag that I commissioned Bec from where'sbeckybean to make for me from some fabric I recently brought and wasn't sure what to do with and the second being a little surprise from Helen at RubyredStudios that she actually purchased from Ali from Jellygnite (we are a supportive bunch us BrisStylers)

And the Lovely Louise from Made by Miffy brought along something I ordered for my little man from her amazing new website. He loved his new outfit so much we actually had a fight getting the clothes back off him so that they could be put away with his Christmas pressies
Lastly I got a lovely surprise in the mail yesterday when I received my Handmade present swap gift from Jacqui.


Em will also be happy to know that I got organised (finally) and sent off my present for Bobbi in the USA, hopefully now I wont be black band from future swaps and Bobbi's present will hopefully have a speedy delivery and not arrive to much past the 1st.
Happy Christmas everyone, still cant believe how quickly it is coming around
