created for my wonderfully talented, can-play-any-instrument-you-can-throw-at-her, conductor, music extraordinaire teacher (musketeer) heidi for a committee she is part of.

what i wore today

it's not fair how some people are so beautiful even while being totally silly

i rest my case.
so wonderful to be spending time with my beautiful (pregnant) best friend again.
and only 2 more sleeps til i get m1 (musketeer one - heidi) here too.
feeling very very very very very excited.

(photo of sylv deciding the bed canopy i bought her for the baby is better suited as some weird veil)

mr. sock owl

another creation by me beautiful big sis.
i know she's 'blogged' him, but i just wanted to show how perfectly he's made.
even has little tea cup patterned fabric on the back of his wings.

he currently 'guards' my tea boxes cause he matches so well.

noah's ark baby room

as possibly previously gushed about, my best friend sylvia is expecting.

so exciting!!!

note: the baby will be adorable – des and sylv both hail from that beautiful, olive skin, perfect features group of people.

anyway she told me about the wall paper border they were getting for the baby's room and then proceeded to worry about what would match with it.

so...

dear pregnant musketeer:

in true i-love-to-design-the-world style i decided to put together a little 'mood board' for a noah's ark themed baby's room.

1. the wall paper border

2. himmel bed canopy (buying this for you, unless you don't like)

3. CoCaLo Creme Brulee 6 PC Crib Set

4. ikea elephant

(this is yours sweety, i bought it at the ball the other night for you xxx)

5. monkey doorhangers

6. giraffe night light

7. fabler storage bags

note: i think it's a girl – hence the wall colours

what do you think?
