when you need to know something related to the streets of Melbourne

Eco-Friendly Basket

I am loving the trend of using recycled books for craft projects.

This was an interesting and fun way to recycle a used street directory. I used an old Melbourne Street directory I found around the house and weaved it into a waste paper basket or a basket.

 

 Be warned that it takes a really LONG time to cut out all of those pages.

 

 

How cool does this look? :)

Sleeping Beauty Cake

Sleeping Beauty Birthday Cake

  

This was a last minute decision as my youngest daughter wanted me to make a sleeping beauty princess cake for her 5th birthday and here is the result. I only had a day to make it before her birthday...panic alarms went off and so I cheated by buying a Madeira Sponge Cake at a local supermarket instead of making one.  I dressed it with different coloured fondant to make a bed sheet set and bed head. I then placed sleeping beauty on the bed and then added the quilt cover over her. It turned out into a perfect (small) size cake made for a little girl to share with her family to eat.  The final important thing was that my daughter loved it - yay!

Boob Pops High Tea Charity

High Tea for Charity

I had a stressful time trying to design these breast pops for a friend, who was about to have  a double masectomy at the time. Due to her family history of breast cancer, a high tea charity was organised for a house function and my friend have managed to raise over $3000 on the day.  Those who donated money won a random raffle prize each from picking out a balloon and went home happy.

My booby pops was a real hit! Phew!!  Everyone enjoyed them:)  It was such a great charity event.
