Monkey Pants

After admiring this pant pattern on Etsy I finally brought the pattern in 6-12mnth Size. They are made from stretch knit material which gave me a chance to test out the stretch stitches on my machine which i've not used yet!

Grabbed some cheap stretch knit from Spotlight for $2/m which was also buy 1m, get 1m free, so 2m = $2 was a bargain! Think I have enough to make about 20 pairs of these now - DOH!

These are Z's pair

I love the insert bit - you could have embroidery or something to highlight the insert bit. Looks pretty cute when they are crawling ;)

Had so much I offered to make a pair for the Lovely Lucy - who is 2 days younger than Z. Made them opposite to Z's so they aren't too 'matchy-matchy' when at Playgroup - Haha...

Here is the gorgeous Lucy - modelling her new pants... She must be chubbier than Z as the legs look a tad tight - oops!

And again... :)

Apparently she has had lots of comments on her spotty pants! That's always a bonus ;)

Past Projects

Brown and Blue Damask Clutch with Satin Ruffle and Satin 'wrist' ribbon - to keep it on my sister's wrist when she is out and about ;)

Improvized a bit by adding the two card slots on the inside for a drivers license/ATM card too. Look quite effective and fit the cards perfectly!

Little Stitches for Little Ones by Amy Butler - Booties - in 6-9mnth size

Z's foot was too big for them almost straight away so they are winging their way west to a friend for her lovely daughter!

Blackforest Cake...

Made this cake at short notice last week for a friend of Mum's..

Blackforest cake with chocolate ganache icing, coated in chocolate topped with fresh cream, glace cherries and more chocolate (chocolate heaven!)

Writing wasn't as perfect as I wanted :( But they were pretty happy with it!

Still Pretty good for a rush job with a zillion other things to do for the wedding Joel was in... ;) Have to practice pouring and smoothing the ganache. It set A LOT quicker than I thought it would.. Practice makes perfect... right?!

New Cakes....

Here is two cakes I've just finished for a customer for a combined Christening/2nd Birthday Party tomorrow..

A "Dora" 2nd Birthday Cake

And a christening Cake - also needs a few sprays sticking out of it still but can't do that until I deliver it to the customer's house as I have to be able to get it in a box and unfortunately they don't make them that tall! Haha...

Now I can do some much anticipated sewing - an Amy Butler Dress for Zahli! :)

Cakes so far...

Here's some photos of cakes I have made thus far..

Prices are dependent upon size and detail - All cake quotes are turned around with 48hrs (depending on how life is with my two girls!) Minimum of two weeks notice is required for cake bookings - although as much notice as possible is preferred as I source many supplies and decorations from Overseas. During peak season (particularly Christmas) I only do a limited number of cakes so please give me as much notice as possible! I can be contacted via Email for further information, bookings and enquries.

The carousel cake was for M's 1st Birthday and is where my cake making/decorating addiction started from! :)
