felt ball garland

Colourful, sweet & so easy!

All you need is 2 cm sized felt balls in allsorted colours, a needle (which is nice and fat to allow enough rooms for the thread) & some thread (any colour you choose).
To make a 1.5 metre garland you need about 30 balls.

spoilty

I got VERY spoilt by my husband this past weekend. Dinner date at my most favourite restaurant Sat night & treated to a homemade brekki on Sunday. He filled the house with balloons & white Daisey's (my fav) and there were hearts everywhere, even the fruit was cut in heart shapes! Such a gorgeous man!

The silver angel heart necklace has always been on my wish list. Hubby surprised me with it ordering it from CPT. LOVE it & love everything that angel-heart.co.za stand for. They have a whole range of necklaces & bracelets to choose from, all with their own special meanings. They also contribute 10% of their profits to SA charities. Click here for more info.

simple ceramics

I quite like these simple word ceramics by Keith Brymer Jones ... The egg cups are my fav.

Creme Brulee always reminds me of one of my best friends, Nikki. She LOOOOVES Creme Brulee! :)

happy anniversary to us

On Sunday my hubby & I celebrate our first year anniversary. On the 11 December last year I said "I do" to the man of my dreams, my soulmate & best friend, the man I have grown up with, shared so many experiences with, loved, laughed & cried with. Happy anniversary my bear. I love you more every single day!

Thought I would share with you some pics of our special day

Not sure what my hubby has planned for our day ... Its all a secret. How exciting! Can't wait to find out what he has been sneakily planning for the last few weeks :) 

Happy weekend all!*
