Sweet Noah

26/06/202114/08/2021

Hello friends,

It’s so nice to be back here with you. I want to thank you for all of the love and support you showed as we remembered our sweet heavenly son Noah this month. I was really touched by your kindness and comments. It might not seem like much, but those small acts of reaching out in love and compassion make all the difference in the lonely, lifelong journey of grief.

Boho Baby Shower

Hello Lovely ones, how’s things? Life is looking pretty good from where I am sitting. It’s such a crazy ride at times, and today is no exception, but somehow, at the moment, I have a peace in the journey and I will hang onto it. Yes Please.

Woodland Baby Shower {Part 2}

20/10/201715/09/2019

Good morning Lovelies. How’s things? The girls and I flew solo this week as hubby took our 18 year old son adventuring in Tassie for a dose of hiking, snow seeking, white water rafting and bush walks. He has worked so hard this year, often at three jobs, so we wanted to give him a pat on the back and tell him how proud we are of the amazing young man he is becoming.

Rustic Pop baby shower

08/02/201615/09/2019

rusticpop59

When one of my friends announced her 4th pregnancy, it took me about three seconds to decide the theme of her baby shower. Her kitchen has bright orange cupboards which are reminiscent of my Nanna’s incredibly cool laminex. She adores this often ignored, yet fabulous colour, and so do I.  Sadly, bright orange appears to be  completely underestimated in the current party scene. It is such a gloriously intense colour which adds the most startling wow factor to any dessert table.  As I wanted my orange to make a real POP in this party, I teamed it up with perhaps an unlikely partner…rustic timber and woody, earthy textures. I was determined to keep everything else neutral, so that my lovely orange could take centre stage. It’s effect was nothing short of spectacular!

 Over the past month we have had three weddings, including that of our eldest son, three of our children’s birthdays, cake orders, a trip to Bundaberg in Queensland, oh yes, and we bought a dog.

Our very first dog. Ever.

Vintage baby naming cakes

13/06/201515/09/2019

baby order1 

I made these  cakes for a vintage baby naming celebration. Nothing fancy, but oh so sweet. The semi naked cake is lime and pistachio, with vanilla bean cupcakes. The simple cake and cupcake toppers were handmade using lace, gingham ribbon and  hessian scraps tied to toothpicks and skewers. An easy way to add a touch of colour to a neutral palette.

Rustic lace baby shower

As most of you are aware, designing and styling baby showers is one of my all time favourite creative pursuits. New life just grabs me every time. There is such diverse styling potential for each shower, and opportunity to reflect the personality of each precious mama to be.

Bohemian baby baptism

18/04/201515/09/2019

bohemain20

When I was asked to create a small cake table for a baby dedication service at church,  I wanted to break away from the traditional  baby blue or pink colour scheme, and move toward a more bohemian, offbeat theme, using lots of fringing, wood, leather, lace and feathers.  I used my gorgeous fringed chenille throw which had a previous life as a tablecloth in the Ukraine ( gotta love Etsy), topped with a crisp white lace cloth. My wooden cake stands were used as risers to add height, with the feature cake taking centre stage of the display. I made  dove fondant cupcake toppers  to  symbolise the purity of new life. I really enjoyed raiding my button stash and gathering bits and bobs to decorate the cake stands and the feature cake, which was wrapped in lace, ribbon, leather strips and feathers. Hand made fondant feathers were  tipped with gold in keeping with the boho theme.  A simple chocolate ganache cake complimented the feature cake. Mini cupcakes and ginger spice biscuits were also  part of the treats.

Gender neutral baby shower invitations

10/04/201515/09/2019

lara invitaton12

I am a classic DIY – er. If you need an invitation made, then I am your gal.  None of these non tangible, electronic email invitations please. I insist on using real paper, real scissors and glue. It relaxes me. The more detail the better. The longer they take, the more I enjoy them. It’s just what I love to do. When I finally get a chance to sit down in the evening, I must have something to work on, some craft or project to keep my hands busy. I love the feel of a needle and thread in my hand, or paper, buttons and fabric. I  love creating something organic and textural. I love putting things together and personalising them into unique little works of art. I have a few tips on how to make your own vintage invitations  HERE.

🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, bu 🌿 Turning 21 seems like a million years ago, but I can still remember how grown up I felt and excited I was about life! 

I was blessed with an incredibly happy childhood and even happier teenage years, a good foundation for my journey into adulthood. 

Oh how much water has rushed under the bridge since those carefree days. Some flowing in stillness and glorious calm, other waves turbulent, large and ominous. But mostly there has been that steady, consistent flow of the day to day,  making for a very fortunate life indeed.

🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple wee 🧡 Hello friends. It’s been a tough couple weeks in our region and to be honest, difficult to think about pretty baby cookies and blog posts with so much incomprehensible suffering and so many who have lost everything right on our doorstep. 

I am so proud of our community. The Aussie Spirit is alive and well and gives us hope that we are in this together and will recover. 

Through it all, we are still planning on the @mumhubcollective market in April. Pop over to the dear treasures Renee & Stevie @little_marquetta if you need any help with baby gear and support after these floods. 

For now, here are a few of the delightfully retro cookies I will be selling at the @lennoxculturalcentre2478 on Sunday 10th April, along with my delicious cupcakes. I hope to see you there x 🧡

I had so many grand plans for this week. Oh well. For now I will daydream about eating this wild concoction of an ‘Aussie Mess’ ( my sarcastic Australian nod to the Eton Mess) 🌺
Vanilla raspberry cupcake topped with vanilla buttercream, fresh whipped cream, raspberry meringue and whatever the heck else you want to pile on top!! 😉
Have a great week. Xx
