Deep fried, syrup-soaked bread - yes please!

My first attempt at making Koeksisters from scratch. It was a success, I think! Well at least my target audience, namely, husband, thought so… :]

Dear Grandma...

Hope you enjoyed your *surprise* birthday dinner.

Even though you read detective stories and figured us out before we arrived. errr...

Fare thee well, Winter

Ah, Spring. There's no other time quite like you - you draw out the daffodils as they find out you're close by, you sprinkle us with sudden and frequent sun-showers, and just when we were beginning to fret and grumble, you remind people that Winter does not last forever, and Summer is in fact just around the corner. 

In honour of the season of new things, I have decided upon a few mid-year resolutions of my own. 

This Spring, I plan to: 

- try to keep on top of housework by doing a little cleaning every day (dishes don't count!) 

- experiment with new colours in my wardrobe (marigold, anyone?) 

- get out of bed the first time my alarm goes off 

- stop biting my nails! 

- go for walks around our neighbourhood in the evenings 

- get a haircut 

- try out at least one recipe from our gourmet French cookbook, and keep trying until I succeed! 

My parents were married on the first day of Spring (happy anniversary Mum and Dad!) and my Mum's birthday is less than a week from now so Spring had a lot of cause to celebrate.

A place for us

This is us.

Now married for 8 months (almost!). And lovin' pretty much every moment of it.

Bardoe had the brilliant idea of keeping a blog for the benefit of our family and friends who wish to take a peak (and perhaps even a bit of a gawk :o) into the window of our lives. So my crafty blog has since evolved into more of a lifestyle blog.

We hope you enjoy reading, feel free to leave a comment when you do!
