I have, after much agonizing thought, put 2 pairs of my delicious shoes on Ebay. Worn only once each and in like-new condition.

A bunny in Bunny's yard!

A teeeeeny baby rabbit hopped out of the grass and decided to hang out for a bit while Lisa was working in her yard last night. How cute is she?? Amanda named her Lucky. We hope she visits again soon!

Project Runway and Sausage Rolls

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Thu, 31 Jul 2008 17:23:00 +0000

The Project Runway challenge this week was Bright Lights/Big City. Basically run around New York City at night and take a photo of something and then make a dress out of it. I do not understand how Kenley won with this hideously ugly dress...

<-----

It didn't relate at all to her photo that we could see...but then we're no kind of fashion experts. That didn't stop us from screaming at the TV when this was announced as the winner. Whaaaaaaaaaaat?? Puhlease!! If I had something in my hand, I would have thrown it.

It was quite heartbreaking for me...because I love tulle and pink. Oh well.

So I drag myself to work despite the terrible P.R. upset last night to find that my awesome Aussie coworker brought in 3 deliciously perfect homemade sausage rolls for me! What a treat! Check 'em out!

So I'm 12 again, just got home from school and having a snack in my mother's kitchen. Yummmmmmmm! Thanks PN!

Creativity galore!

Fairy Cute is coming together and will be opening very soon. Fairy clothing, wands, wings, accessories...fun, games, recipes and all kinds of sparkly goodness will be there. Stay tuned!

I had the pleasure of photographing Alexandra a couple of weeks ago. She's such a cute little fairy. She had fun prancing around the rose garden and doing what pink-glitter-loving fairies do in her custom-made Fairy Cute tutu. Thanks Alexandra and Alexandra's mom! You are both beautiful!

Congrats to the Bakers!

Grosgrain FABULOUS

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 21:15:00 +0000

While I sit and make fairy tutus for my gorgeous stepdaughters and FairyCute.com (coming soon), I find myself overflowing with creativity at the moment. For the first time in ages, I am enjoying the moment and not just wasting time it by doing nothing. I don't know how I end up in some of the places I do, but I have found some of the coolest websites lately and am feeling so inspired.

My favourite site at the moment is Grosgrain Fabulous. It's a blog from a self-confessed "artsy craftsy, penny pinching, party planning, playdating, fashion finding, sci-fi loving, stay at home mommy who always keeps her sewing machine plugged in and loves all things cute! " and she's my new hero! She has 2 little girls and from the looks of it, has closets overflowing with clothes she has made for both of them. She's having a Pinata Pinafore GIVEAWAY!!!!!!! at the moment.

If only I could have an inch of her talent! If only I could dust off my sewing machine and actually figure it out instead of letting it scare the pants off me!

Project Runway - Season 5

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Thu, 17 Jul 2008 17:29:00 +0000

The highlight for me, of course, was the guest appearance of the divine Austin Scarlett. Oh how I absolutely adore him! There is some "discussion" in our house and differing opinions, but basically anyone who disses Austin while I'm around gets their botty spanked...and not in any kind of good way. One day, I shall have an Austin Scarlett original and I will never wear anything else again.

What do you get when you give a 14 month old a mini Swiffer? A clean floor!! She did such a great job, she's been commissioned to do it again this weekend. Bless her!

Hopefully she won't yell at us to get out this time.

Why is my blog doing weird formatting things? Driving me crazy!!

The Cure in Phoenix - June 4, 2008

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Fri, 06 Jun 2008 20:04:00 +0000

Aah! 16 years on and The Cure still sound beautifully the same. Didn't have the best view, and everyone else seemed like they were on valium, but Robert and the boys did a superb job and renewed my faith in them once again. :)

Wedding Photography Hiatus

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 20:05:00 +0000

We have decided to take an extended break from shooting weddings.

We hired Christy Martin to shoot our wedding back in March. Anyone who knows me personally knows how agonizing it was to find the right photographer and hand over the reigns. We are absolutely delighted with Christy's work and are very proud to recommend her to any of our clients who are looking for a wedding photographer. Be sure to check out Christy's website. Tell Christy we sent you!

Ghost Town Visit

noreply@blogger.com (Rachel Joy) — Mon, 02 Jun 2008 03:13:00 +0000

Spent the past weekend in Jerome, Arizona. It's old, it's ghostly, it's artsy and it's weird. We love it!

Stayed at the Jerome Grand Hotel which is said to be haunted from all the people who spent their last days in the builidng when it was a hospital in the early 1900s. It was eerie to say the least, but we're already keen to go back. No ghosts this trip...although we did get spooked a few times. The door of room 32 certainly has something odd about it.

This is the balcony from the Garden Room. You feel like you are actually back in the early 20th century.

I would post more pics, but getting reacquainted with my blog has made me tired and it's almost bedtime anyway. Ciao for now!

Welcome back!

Let's see what happens here, eh?
