New Blinds

As previously mentioned, we have new blinds. After a lot of thinking, we ended up going with timber venetians, mainly because they were the cheapest option, and well, I want to move out of this house more than I want fancy curtains LOL.

Luckily, Spotlight were having a sale, and I got them half price. It was a pity that the other windows blind was bent and had to be returned. But it is being re-ordered for us, so hopefully it will be here in the next few weeks.

Decorating the bedroom

So our new doona arrived during the week. And given that it is red, I thought it was best I go and find some new accessories for our bedroom.

So in Freedom I found this flower thing (I think it is a Zebra plant), and this vase which I thought it tied in well).

And our lamps (which I brought ages ago, but I can't remember if I showed you or not)

Black cats

My mum is a cat lover. Not quite as crazy cat lover as the woman I met recently at my brothers engagement party, but she does love cats.

When I brought my she was insanely jealous and wanted to know why I didnt buy her a set too. Probably because she is 45 and doesnt wear pigtails as much as me. So when LouLou blogged about her elegant black cats magnets, I decided that I need to find them for mummsie for christmas.

Display Cabinets

With display cabinets on either side of our rangehood cabinets, I have been on the lookout for something to put in them. Yesterday I cam home with this a few items, with the intention of mixing in some stuff we already own.

Orchids in a cylinder from Freedom (who have 10% off everything you can fit in their recyclable bag).

Funky wine glasses we were given as an engagement present.

Small vase of flowers.

I was walking through Target (which is nowhere as good as the US Target I might add), and found this. I quite like it, its bright, and a bit different. I was thinking of getting a long tropical leaf to go in it, what do you think?

And, my current obsession: fresh flowers. This weeks choice is Oriental Lillies

So there you go, an almost finished kitchen, complete with decorations.

Two Fifths

Check out the ticker from the bottom of my blog


I am two fifths of the way!!! To celebrate I am wearing a dress to work thatI brought for our engagement party that was too small by the time I got to wear it. I feel great, and I can't weight (lol) to lose even more weight in the next few months!

Oh, and incase you want to check on me, it's at the bottom of my blog, and i do try to update it every week.

Decorating my fridge

I have never been one for millions of things on fridges, its too cluttered for my liking.

But I couldnt help but buy these from Mostly Magnets

Kitchen Aid Accessories

Recently I baked a cake (shock horror I know!) And for the first time ever, my Kitchen Aid shit me up the wall. I had to keep stopping and scraping down the bowl. Honestly, who designed that feature?

So, on a google search tonight, I found Side Swipe Blade

Now to find me one in Australia!
