2012 : Happy New Year Everybody

2011 was really good to me, it was filled with love, joy, peace, happiness and all things warm and fuzzy. It was undoubtedly, the best year of my life. I married the love of my life, became pregnant, bought a house, adopted 2 adorable puppies and gave birth to a sweet and baby boy, in that order :-)

I was busy living life and I enjoyed every single moment of it... morning sickness included :-) through it all, reading (and writing) blogs became abit of a mission and I feel like, and probably have missed out on a lot. Now that I have settled into my new and fabulouss life, I'm back, I hope not to leave again.

Blogsphere, please welcome me back. Its a new year, a chance at new beginnings, lets make 2012 a good year.

Mustard Seed

I am really feeling Mustard. I was crazy about it once when I was 13, I think falling in love with it again. I think I'll have a mustard winter. I love it best when paired with Navy.

From the side of the road...

This beautifully made grass mat was bought on the N2 between Pongola and St Lucia, KZN, the photo doesn't really do it justice, it looks much better in real life. The fresh smell of grass and the texture, the hand-dyed colours are really pleasing to the eye. There is a group of old women are always sitting by the side of road, making and selling them...along with fruits and wooden sculptures. They come in a variety of colours, shapes and sizes, this particular one was R350. They would look good in any room. I wish I had taken their number, if you are ever driving down there, make a stop, you wont regret it.

Embracing the 70's

This cut has always been my favorite cut. For the longest time all one could find at shops was skinnies, I love them but I'm really glad that the 70's are back again. I bought these jeans a few years ago, I'm hoping to get more in a darker shades.

Outfit :
Jeans - LTD

Vest - Mr Price

Brooch - Hello Fox

Weighing my options

I bought this food scale almost 2 years ago... with the intention to learn how to and bake Dee's delicious mini-cupcakes...

OK, OK... I admit! That was the excuse I gave myself, even though I REALLY love Dee's mini-cupcakes, this scale was bought mainly for its charm, I thought that the orange would look good on my kitchen top and also the fact that once I go antique shopping, I really cant stop.

Now that I am married, maybe I'll be inspired to channel the my inner domestic goddess... but first, I'll have to practice thinking in lbs instead of kg's :-)
