Bakerella your gonna make me so fat!














Feat your eyes on these bakerella goodies!
I stumbled upon this website while strolling through cooking websites and I was so impressed and inspired and suddenly hungry it was definitely drool worthy, drool all over the keyboard worthy...well no that would just be gross but it was really good! She has recipes with all her creations so you can make them too! As you can see I have many favourites but I was interested mostly by the enormous amount of cooking supplies and decorations I had never even heard of like edible food ink, food colouring powder, coloured candy coating, mint chips, butterscotch chips I will stop nowe but you get the gist! my most favourite thing of all would probably be the vintage valentine cookies as they are so darn cute! But what I really want to make is some cake pops but I have to wait till easter is over before I can have chocolate so that just made me depressed! Oh yeah if anyone wants to make me some food for my birthday I will love you forever and definitely make you some food for yours too!
the website is www.bakerella.com you will not regret visiting it only maybe when you gain a hundred kgs :)

My Weekend Creations.....



ooh what have we here??....
#1 Is my left over button from my pregnancy dress (Pea in the pod hehe) that i shortened (no I wasn't ever pregnant I just found it at the op shop and thought it was super duper). I thought that the buttons were super duper duper that was pretty much the reason I bought the dress anyway so yeah I had a left over button that I had to use, so i thought oooh a matching ring would be fun (and I had just opened my super glue so I needed to use it before it dried out). So I found a lame ring that I didn't want anymore so I glued this on over the top of it and walaaaah super ring!
#2 Crocodile ring, I bought this crocodile from Iko Iko (my favourite shop in the world! its full off overpriced knick-knacks and stuff you never knew you wanted) yes thats the same shop I got your bunny eraser from Alice. The ring was old but I re-glued the crocodile on because it fell off so yeah not really something new but I thought I'd tell you about it anyway.
#3 Fimo Ring thats old too I just re-glued it because it broke My stuffs pretty shoddy isn't it hehe.
#4 My pierrot dolls I bought off trademe well yeah they turned into limb jewellery hehehe. I cut the leg out and trimmed it in cream leather and attached a loop to make a freaky necklace!
#5 My charm or cool stuff necklace, which has hanging on it:
*Purple and blue rocks from my gran
*Indian pendant from Trade Aid
*Glass pendant from Trade Aid
*Pyrite stone which I got from the Gypsy Fair It helps reinforce the bodys immunity system, increases mental abilities, links the left side of my brain to the right which facilitates communication between logic and emotions, analysis and creativity. so what a bargain for only 50c then!
*Azurite stone from the Gypsy Fair too It helps enhance physhic abilities, releases fear vibration, enhances inspiration, creativity, intuition, strengthens blood, hearing problems, neck ache, sore throats, can also be used in third eye chakra for powerful vision enhancer so in all another great bargain for $3.50 if I get a great big sack and fill it will all the healing jems I might turn into a superhuman!
I added the Gypsy Fair jems which I wound in metal from the arms and legs of my pierott doll.
#6 Lastly my hand pencil!!! probably only like my most favourite pencil in the world! when you write the hand waves at you which makes me laugh!
I had a very productive weekend I actually completed my sewing box! which resulted in my wardrobe having that I'm so full you can't move the clothes unless you want to push everything off the end thing going on. But I now have lots of new dresses and things to do photoshoots in yay!

Goooood Mooood

I'm in a gooood mooood as you may have already guessed I'm feeling creative and I'm goingt o go create and I've got all weekend to do so will have some superness for you by the end of the weekend.....

Major Screw Up... Or Not?

As I was previously telling you the other day how I was going to alter my boots, well i went ahead and just cut big shapes out of them....I bet you are thinking WHAT ON EARTH WERE YOU THINKING!! and the answer is well I wasn't thinking so yeah I pretty much ruined them but they were pretty awful anyway big diamond, big circle, big square but I was just thinking now about how I never ruin anything I always come up with a super splendid idea and save the day well I am definitely hoping right now! What I came up with was to add buckles between each shape not very exciting but thats all I've got I need a super brainwave and I'm not just going to sit around and wait for it I'm turning to gooooogle......

Op Shopping

On todays venture into the op shop i picked up only 5 items! Yes believe it or not i restrcted myself to a measly 5 wonderful pieces! I got myself a mint (as in the colour) blazer with cut out detail oooooh and it came with a matching top which I didn't really want but it came as a pckage deal but as it turns out its the only thing i bought today that im wearing right now hmmm funny that. I got two ridiculously awesome pairs of brown boots! One is a worker style boot (I think its actually just some nams old work boots hehe) and they actually fit my feet! nice suprise, or bad now i think about it...and the other pair are kinda like riding boots but they arent as high but they do have this odd to look at but suuuuper comfortable chunky bottom haha sounds unfortunate. Aaaaaand I got this super dooooper clock which I am yet to find out if it works! bummer if it dosen't but not a tradgedy as it is awesome looking anyway! It is some sort of animal that is orange (one of my favourite colours yus) with a furry tail that swishes back and forth, well I hope so anyway am yet to find out if that part works either....Also recently I went to Mr Bojumbles with Fiona and Laura!!!! I have been looking forward to going there for quite some time Mr Bojumbles for those who don't know is a big room filled with wooden box things that are filled with clothes, the clothes are donations from clothes bins, you pay for your clothes by the kg ($2 per kg) anyway its the best place for suuuper bargains the only downfall is that some of the clothes abolutely stink so they infect all the others and some are just gross covered in stains and gross stuff that you have to rummage through to get to the good stuff. I walked away with a whole 5.5 kg sack of clothes that only cost me $11 my best purchases were a long green 100% woll coat that is perfect and some black boots that dont fit me but i like to look at (they may end up on trademe) and some hard to explain the colour leather pants they are kinda a mix between brown and orange maybe? anyway I cut them off into shorts and they look really awesome rolled up but they are slightly too small which is a bummer but you never know one day they may fit....hopefully.... or they will just end up on trademe too. Oh and Fiona bought a white blazer which was really cute which she later decided she didn't want so she sold to me for $2 but she owed me $2 which she was never going to pay me so it was free yay!

What to do to my Black Boots






I recently bought some boots off trademe for only $2 (but I had to pay $7 for postage which was annoying). When they arrived I was suproised to see they were possibly the uggliest boots I had ever seen the combination off them being a size 10 with a looong flat square toe was quite disgusting. I didn't want to waste my money and thought that anything would be better than what they are now so I got creative....... I cut off the top off the shoe to make them into open toe boots then I cut the sole to make them the right size hehe and a nicer round shape. The result was a rather hacked at looking shoe that didn't look very well done at all but they did look better. So now I'm rather stuck as to what to do next should I paint them, attach buckles, do cutouts or add material patches. I really can't decide and really want to do them all I will do some more reearch for minspiration but at the moment I think cutouts are winning but they seem a bit boring....

Sheer Navy



Before ewwww


After ooooooh

What I'm Wearing:

Dress: Op Shop altered
Shoes: Rose's boots
Vest: made by me
Brooch: bought from Great Barrier Island
Belt: Op Shop

This is the dress I bought ages ago and said I would upload some photos of and never did. Well here they are but unfortuantely I couldn't get the before photos off the camera they are forever trapped within it, annoying I know! So here it is and what do you know you can't really see it properly haha typical! The underneath layer is sheer and awesome and there is also the line at the top where the top layer disappears and its only the sheer layer left haha I made that sound waaay more confusing than it really is.
I uploaded the photo and isn't the transformation great!

One Peace At A Time


Some time last week I went to a fundraiser for Haiti event, it was a movie One Peace at a Time. The movie was so amazing and just made me realise how ignorant I am to the rest of the world. I came out of the movie feeling like a changed person only to realise one week later that i had forgot about all the important life changes i was going to make. Whilst watching the movie I kept changing my mind I would see all the poor unfortunate orphans in developing countries and think I am going to help them, I will sponsor a child. Then the movie would go on to people giving water wells to villages in dry deserted landscapes where the women previously had to walk hours to get water and now they only had to walk a couple of minutes. The girls could now go to school and learn at the new schools they were creating. Which made me think I'll give money to that cause as it is helping a whole community not just one person. Then it went to how you can't stop the problem of overflowing orphanages by simply sponsoring the children they need more orphange workers. Which made me feel really self centered for wanting to have a fun life and just do what i wanted jobwise when there was so many more valuable jobs i could be doing. Overall it just made me feel really spoilt, greedy, and lucky. You have no choice where you are born, all you can do is make the most out of what you are given, we were gifted with these priveleged lives why would we not sacrifice a small part of our income or time to help those less fortunate?
