Wish List

I have a Wish List of things I want to buy for myself & for our little cooking baby. Here are just some of the things on this list:

Fresh Breeze Doily Curtains!
These are INCREDIBLE! Made to order on Etsy. I am extremely tempted to get some made for our bedroom! They are costly, but when they look that good...

Little Golden Book Bunting.
Every kids room needs a bunting.
Comes in a huge range of books (The Red Caboose, Cinderella, Alice in Wonderland etc)

World Map Glass Magnets.
I really enjoy looking at peoples magnets on their fridge and would really appreciate it if someone brought me really cool fridge magnets!

Little Golden Book themed pacifier clip!
Can you tell that I have a bit of a Little Golden Book theme around this baby? I LOVED my LGB as a kid and I hope my kids will love them too.

A New Macbook Cover
I really like this macbook sleeve design. I think its really cool.

So there are 5 things on my list of things I would love to buy and have if I could.

Retro Folk

WOW!
Has it been a while since I have posted on here! Geez I've been slack.
Lots has happened since I last posted. I am now 28 weeks pregnant with baby number 1 which has me in bed at ridiculous hours, like 7pm, and awake for other times (had a shower at 1am last night).

Here are some photos that I have found great inspiration in for my nursery that I am currently decorating. We are so excited to have this baby! Names are picked and ready, now it is just a waiting game to find out if its a little girl or a little boy.

We are going with a vintage Little Golden Book kind of theme for decorating the nursery which I love. Mikes doesn't really mind what it looks like - he just lets me be creative. So our base colours are white and grey and will add specific colours once baby is here. The new carpet is being laid tomorrow so I can start hanging up photo frames, buntings and put together all the furniture. YAY :D





Im also currently working on my baby shower invites (yet again going with a Little Golden Book theme). Will post them up once they are made. Im trying to decide how dedicated I want to be with them on whether I just design them on my computer or I put in a bit of work. Dunno yet. As a kid i LOVED my Little Golden Books so much that when we went shopping and I was well behaved I got rewarded with LGB instead of toys and chocolate, so I am hoping to pass on the love of reading to mini Reid.

Thursday Afternoon

So our last 3 weeks has been an emotional roller coster!
After it all, I ended up in the back of an ambulance on the way to hospital yesterday morning with extremely bad chest pains & not being able to breathe well. It was really scary. I got dosed up on the green stick, which affects me really badly. Last time I was on one I told my husband he could marry either of my best friends, Rose & Legz, but not my friend Rach because she was going to marry Tim. This time however I was just an emotional wreck and kept crying and crying. I ended up on a drip and had tests done and Im now taking two different tablets and I should be fine. Got a check up in two weeks.

But through all this I discovered a new website which I am IN LOVE WITH.
www.pintrest.com

I've found all these following pictures on there. There is just so many I want to blog over, but here is a couple of my favourites.

I have the perfect place where a filing cabinet flower pot could go. Im going to be keeping my eye out.

I've always wanted to this on a wall at my house. But I just haven't got around to it. This has re-inpired me.

I have something very similar to this in my house. But Im inspired to change it now.

I am IN LOVE with this tattoo. My husband is completely against tattoos - he hates them with a passion. I love tattoos and i have a couple designed. Im just waiting for the day when he will let me get one. Until then, Im happy to wait.

Baby booties. These are so cute. Little Indians.

The Puppies are known as: Little White, PIrate(Big white one), Donut, Boof, Stripey, Triangle and Puppy Y (Buddy).




Puppy Y (Buddy) and Triangle - These names are from their markings.

Graphics

So today I've been in the office all day doing graphics for various things for church. I think my list had 10 things on it today, i've so far ticked off 9. The last one I want to avoid....

So here is my creation for our youth ministry. Took about 1 hour (because of all the typing). Design done in only 20 minutes. I followed a tutorial on the internet, but not completely. I like it!
