Friday Favourites - Ruffled cake and cushions

I loved this guest dessert feature on Amy Atlas today - I particularly LOVE the cushions! so cute - that cake is amazing!!!!!!!



Love this shade of green



I had green bridesmaids in a similar shade almost 8 years ago and they had pink flowers - still a favourite combination! Beautiful photography by Jeanna Hayes.

Editors note: You can get that cake recipe here! Thanks Tania :-)

Amy Butler Barcelona Skirt - pattern review

Finally I have finally finished my Amy Butler Barcelona skirt! I received that pattern back in May and bought my material in July.... here we are November and I wore it today for the first time. Sooo comfortable, I love things that sit on my hips low. This skirt is truly so QUICK and EASY! I will probably make a layered one too (on the pattern cover) but that may take another 6 months ;) If you have the pattern sitting in your cupboard, get it out and make it this weekend! You could definitely do it in an afternoon. If you have any doubts about what an invisible zipper foot looks like (for the invisible zip) then hop on over to Lara's blog Kirin Notebook for a fabulous tutorial on invisible zips (on a pillow - but it's all the same principal). Happy sewing and YAY for finishing projects. PS: If you are new to my blog that is a baby - not beer belly!!! 4.5months along.

Friday favourites - Amy Butler Rugs

I have rug envy! I would like to have one of these Amy Butler handcrafted rugs in our new lounge room. I do have a lovely shag rug that we spend more time on than our leather lounge.... but a girl can dream for a pretty new one!
