Christmas Bauble Template Download

I did up a Christmas bauble template today to print off and decorate. I printed them up on green and red paper and also cut out some old Christmas paper for the kids to glue on the baubles.

I hole-punched some holes and tied them up with some wool and hung them on the windows (in the absense of a tree at the moment).

The kids had a blast and the house is slowly getting into the Christmas spirit.

To download the template click on the image below, right-click and save image onto your computer to print.

My love of printer's drawers

I used to have a printer's drawer growing up, that I would fill with little treasures I would collect and buy along the way (maybe this is where my inate ability to hoard pits and pieces to this very day?).
I had lots of compartments filled with all sorts of things from shells from beach walks, to coins we put on railway tracks to get flattened by passing trains, to minature perfume bottles, to thimbles.
I really must dig all of these out one day and put it back up.
Or start another one maybe...

Homemade microwave popcorn!

What a better way to try and keep the peeps inside on stinking hot days like today, than to make our very own mocrowave popcorn!

AND its easy peasy!

1. Put 1/4 cup popcorn in a brown paper bag. Fold top over a few times and tape it.

2. Place in microwave folded side up for 2 to 3 minutes or until there is 5 seconds between pops.

3. ENJOY!

You can eat it healthy and plain, but what fun is there in that?!? I believe it is best served with lashings of icing sugar. Mmmmmm.

Alphabet Nursery

The letters first caught my eye with this adorable nursery, and on closer inspection I found more and more to fall in love with.

With the slight industrial base to the room, the crisp white furniture and the bold red and the natural woodgrain- it all comes together to make a beautiful space for one lucky little person.
