House updates, baking and baby

On the babymoon, I visited a 2nd hand shop in Huskisson. I spotted this ceramic bundt tin, I was smitten.

I baked a carrot cake in it. The recipe said it would take 55 to 60 mins, it took 2 hours!!!

But it still worked out in the end.

On to baby, Look at her cute little jackets! The first 2 are Christmas presents from my Aunty. The last one is from Nanny Pickle. Such a cute brand. It has a little hoodie.

This one is my fav. I purchased this on the babymoon in Ulladulla from Mrs Higgins. It’s pure wool and hand knitted. For a whopping $24. Other baby stores sell acrylic blend cardigans, made in China fro $49.95!!! (Yes SEED, I’m looking at you)

Again on the babymoon, this time in Berry. I bought these very cute, super tiny booties. Merino wool, handmade in Berry.

I bought this rug AGES ago. Just haven’t put a pic up. I bought it from HALI. Dank St, Waterloo. On sale. It is for the hallway. Now if I could get the fringe to sit flat.

I also finished sewing my curtains, ages ago. I am most impressed with them! The fact that they worked out, I sewed them, they look great! I just can’t get over it. I am beside myself with pride!

This Marimekko fabric frame has been leaning against the wall, perched on top of the couch for the best part of year. It is now finally on the wall!

    That bundt mold is a thing of beauty. I would keep it on display, it’s too gorgous to put away. I’m green with envy :)
