I’ve had a craaaaazy week at work and all of my happy bloggy plans have fallen by the wayside. I’ve been falling into bed at 8.30pm each night this week and there was just no more juice in the tank to blog. Sadface.
I’ve been pretty good at keeping up with my Google Reader though, so I thought I’d share all of the wonderful things that other people have been writing! And boy do I have some pretty pretty things to show you…
Let’s start with a party:


Lou from Sunny & Scout put together the sweetest little icecream sunday party for her daughter, who turned one last week!
She shared lots of photos of the Scout-a-licious Icecream Shoppe right after the party, and did a little wrap-up post of the little details here. So sweet.
Happy birthday, little Scout!

And speaking of little people, Rachel Denbow has created a fantastic e-course called Baby on the Way, and it’s full of cute little projects for tiny people. Beginner sewers will gradually build up their skills as they work through the course, so even somebody like me could find something to make!
As soon as I have my sewing machine serviced I’m planning to sign up and sew for all of my friends’ new bubs. I can vouch for Rachel’s courses – she always gives clear instructions and has excellent style.

Katie and her cutiepie Hope came up with this adorable costume, and shared the tutorial at A Beautiful Mess! Even though it’s not Halloween yet I’m pretty sure that they’ve won first place this year. And maybe even next year.
We Aussies don’t really do Halloween but it’s so much fun to watch the Americanos do it with style!


Any Neighbours fans out there? I was so happy to discover that actor Jane Hall keeps a beautiful little blog about her interior design business, and this week she also launched a line of soft furnishings at Salvation Jane. I am a huge fan of her work and have my eye on those flat-stitched sheets! Can’t wait to see what she comes up with next.

I looooove this DIY mug design from Amanda of Wit & Whistle. If I can find a non-toxic, dishwasher-proof pen by Christmas I’ll be making a stack of these as gifts. Cute!
Pip Lincolne wrote this excellent post about hate mail (boo!), and Danielle from Sometimes Sweet shared some great advice for new bloggers. Both of these ladies are such positive and inspirational people, and I always look forward to their posts!
And finally…
You’re welcome! x
