Not sure there’s anything much cuter than two babies in the one shopping trolley.
I’ve decided I’m only ever going to Costco now if I have 2 babies with me ;)

Also, I spied my one true love there, in kitchen appliance form *sigh*

I attended the inaugural Fashion Only Handmade Market event last weekend, as a stallholder with my jewellery and accessories, it was really great! This time I was inside the main hall (as it is a slightly smaller market than the regular big Handmade Market) on a corner stall, and I had a lot of fun setting up my tables. I’m starting to get used to the mad rushed panic of setting up, and I have a system of packing away a previous market that allows me to unpack and setup fairly quickly. Now if only I could get out the door half an hour earlier like I always plan to and I’d have heaps of time!

I spent a lot of time working working working glueing glueing glueing in the week leading up to the market so I would have lots on offer for everyone.

As always, I had lots of help all day, and lots of visitors. So a big thank you to my awesome husband and baby for being amazing (Raf had a little sleep on the floor before going home with daddy), and JA’s mom for staying with me at the stall all day, allowing for tea and loo breaks! And thank you to everyone who came by and said hello! =)

Starting from the next market (June Canberra long weekend) I’m going to have a market girl, yay! JA’s sister Katie has a really strong retail and customer service background, so she is going to be manning the stall for a few hours for me during the day, I hope you can all make her feel as loved as you make me feel each market day!

So the count-down is now on for the June market, it’s going to be my biggest market ever, I am going to have SO. MUCH. STOCK. for you all, as well as lots of specials, a giveaway and some new surprises! So I hope to see you there =)

Please friends, get married and invite me! I love love love weddings =)

A few weekends ago we went to the beautiful wedding of Jen and Dave, and honestly, it really was lovely. Everything said was heartfelt, every word was thoughtful. And there was a super cute flower girl. Nawwwww. (You may remember Heidi from a couple of previous posts!)

I’d really like to plan another wedding. So, anyone reading this, who is getting married but not feeling the “Wedding Organisation” buzz, give me a call ;)

And who wouldn’t want to rock up to a wedding with these guys as your date? So handsome! ❤
The little guy and I were still a bit sick so we were all home in bed by 11.30pm x

Rafael is 6 months old this month. We’re loving every minute of it ;)

This month Raf has started reaching out for things (like our faces and his Kitty and Doggies ♥), sitting up for longer periods of time, he is hammering the “solid” food (more like mushy foods), lots of tummy time and some rolling but no big moves towards crawling yet (phew!).

He gave us his first real laughs on April 1st, no fooling ;) It was the best thing I’ve ever heard in my life.

He can hold himself in a standing position for short amounts of time, he looks like a little boy when he does!

This past weekend he graduated from Aqua Bubbas, and is moving up to Perri Winkles next term XD He got a little certificate for it too, so silly but it makes my heart swell!

He’s also geting quite good at holding the bottle when I give him one, and today he accidentally did his first drawing! haha I’m going to frame it.

Today I *finally* got the structure started for our Vege Garden! I feel a big sense of achievement here, because the area has been sitting there getting more jungley by the day, for about 2 years now… And today I managed to weed it, move a wood sleeper to create the fourth wall base, put 3 star pickets on the correct place, and placed the wooden garden edging stuff around to create the walls.

I now need some more metal stakes to secure the walls in place, some hessian for the sides, and then, over the next few months, I will be building the perfect garden bed for planting things such as tomatos, zucchinis and beans =)

I’ll be following the sage advice of Stephanie Alexander:

So good to make a start!

Do you have a vege garden at home??
