Frantic, fabulous and Freaky February...

Wow, what a crazy few weeks we have had in February already! I live in remote NW Western Australia. It is normally HOT and DRY! For the last month though, we have had constant rain and all of a sudden, everything is green. And very WET! Good news if you are a plant, the land and it's a beautiful sight to behold.  However my parents have been trying to install a transportable house on their property and have had no end of troubles as it was firstly put in too low so every time it has rained, they have had to pump out water to avoid flooding.

Today I have felt very cosy at home listening to rain pour down, and been relishing a bit of peace as my eldest daughter went to daycare and spent some time with my baby girl and creating.

February also has meant birthdays - and very important birthday's in the Davidson family. Firstly my beautiful daughter Emily has turned 1, my FIL has his birthday (I won't disclose his age;)) and my wonderful husband turns 40 next week. We have also had lots of birthday parties to attend for friend's and it has been filled with me frantically trying to create handmade creations for little girls. I think I should have just bought dolls as the kids will probably appreciate them more, but their Mum's will hopefully appreciate the work gone into creating their daughter's unique pressies.

So just to demostrate some of the work that has gone into this month, here are a few photos.

Sisterly love! My gorgeous daughters and muses getting ready to go out to lunch. Both girls are wearing some hair accessories made by moi! These gorgeous dresses are actually from Target. My Mum always tracks down gorgeous dresses in fun and funky fabrics which look great on the girls.

Ms Emily's 1st birthday cake. A bit different from Isabella's sugar free banana cake. I made a butter cake using a cake tin hired from our local Toy Library which made it soooo much easier than having to cut out the shape.

A cute new design borrowed from the lovely Joy at Snazziedrawers Designs. This is the Isabella flower and of course I had to make some of these for my own Ms Isabella. This particular one was made for a friend of Isabella's for her 3rd birthday.

And a dress for Isabella's beautiful friend Ms W. It is a variation on the first dress I made my daughter but I prefer this design as it is shorter at the top which means it is a little less uncomfortable for the girls wearing it. I am still not sure about producing more than for family or friends but they are such cute dresses.

I have also been working on frilly knickers for my lovely SIL's new photographic business Little Goose Photography, but had a few disasters so that may have to wait.

Today has been a busy day of making Bella Blossom flowers, cutting out bias for Isabella flowers and finishing off a fantastic rolled flower ready to embellish!
