Wonderfilled weekend

Well hello there! It's been a week since I posted though it feels like longer. This week has been busy to say the least and extremely emotional for my husband and I.

One of our very dear friends lost his 8 month battle with liver cancer. Yesterday we said farewell along with his friends and family with a loving ceremony and wake. We will miss you Mark, more than we know just now.

I'm about to head off to Mt Tamborine to deliver and set up a cupcake tower for a bride and groom and just waved goodbye to 60 of these pretty lilac blossom cupcakes to a sweet 18 year old celebrating her birthday.

Then tonight, off to movies in the park with some friends, oh and I have just been informed that on tonight's menu (for the adults) will be crab tartlets for entree, Vietnamese Chicken salad and macarons for dessert. My mouth is watering already. To wash it down ...... nothing but Verve baby!!!

Whatever you are doing this weekend, do it with passion and love every minute of it.

What have you all got planned for the weekend? Me? Well, I'm teaching a little cupcake class tomorrow, school social dinner in the evening and not much planned for Sunday. But I'm sure I'll be kept busy. Olivia is very excited that her Daddy is taking her to the rugby Sunday afternoon.=

I'll leave you this weekend with this link to one of beautiful friends, (inside and out) Tracey Lau. She is a mama to five and has the most generous soul. Here are some of my most favourite photos from her blog. Amazing talent!

Hope you all enjoy your weekend. Soak it up I say!

Here's to a great weekend. We have a 5th birthday party to go to, so I've been busy today making a lego cake, a treasure chest cake and a heap of cupcakes!

For those of you who liked my last post with that gorgeous house that sparked my love affair with all things Hamptons, here is our home as it stands today. Looking forward to living through a few more spring and summer seasons, to help the garden on it's way. None the less, we love it all the same. It's a joy to come home to each day.

I'll leave you with some sweet cupcake images this weekend.  I made these during a midnight creative fest during the week.  Sometimes you just get the urge to make something purty!

Whatever you are doing this weekend, ENJOY IT!

Images are mine

I'm off to pick apples

Wishing you all a wonder filled weekend.  What are you up to this weekend?

So I managed to get all my errands completed AND a trip to the florist as well.

I purchased some beautiful natives.  I love them.  And they will last a little longer than the usual fresh flowers I buy.

Image by me.  Table found on eBay and repainted white.  Pale green folded timber chair given to me by my Nana.  Ihave two green and two coral coloured chairs like this.  They are fabulous.  And they are from my Nan.  She used them on family camping trips, how cool is that?

Wonder filled weekend

I am so looking forward to this long weekend.  I've just finished baking and frosting 180 cupcakes and I'm waiting for my lovely customers to collect.

Here is a little snippet of the baby shower cupcakes I created.  They are for the lovely Judy at Lily-G.  She is hosting a beautiful baby shower for one of her friends.  It sounds like it is going to be just gorgeous.

Hope each and every one of you have a relaxing weekend too.

Thank you and goodnight ......

..... well, good weekend away.
Thanks for the lovely, sweet comments this week. All very much appreciated. My week has ended much better than it started, much to my relief.
Olivia, William and I spent three nights with my Dad earlier on this week. He is lucky enough to live at the gorgeous Moffat Beach on the Sunshine Coast.
My dear Dad is battling cancer and it was a delight to be able to spend quality time with him and see my children interact with him.
Here are a few photos of our time together.





Hope you all have a wonderful weekend!

Wonder filled weekend

To the tiny little audience I have, I think I can count them on one hand (hehe), I hope you have a relaxing and wonder filled weekend.

I've got a lovely day planned today to lead me into the weekend.  A spot of shopping for easter supplies and then off to the hairdressers.  Oh me oh my, how I need to see my hairdresser.  Then tonight, I'm catching up with a group of glamorous girls for a glass of bubbles and a good laugh.

I really need my girlfriend time and I'm so looking forward to it.

I'll spend the rest of the weekend with my little family, going to ballet and helping a friend make her wedding cake.

High on the agenda is decorating our house ready for Easter next weekend.  I'll leave you with some of my favourite images from my sister from another mother - good old Martha.  Gotta love her!

As a side note:  this image reminds me of Melanie from Black & Spiro!
