The Screaming Baby Chronicles: Episode 1: Pre Arrival Party

What is the first thing that comes to mind when you hear the following words:

♥Gumboots,

♥Pearls,

♥Calf Barn,

♥Dresses,

♥Haybails,

♥A pregnant belly,

♥Fresh out of the Cow, Milk?

Alice in Wonderland Tea Party?

Me too.

A very pregnant friend of mine deserved a baby shower so this is it documented in photo form.

Invites: Front

Invites: Back

"Don't be late for a very important date. We are celebrating baby Harris' miracle of life. By order of the Queen of Hearts, you are hereby summoned to attend".

Croquet.

Esther had to cheat to keep up.

Bex being a good sport.

Hillbillies.

I made all the confetti and stars, the pain in my fingertips were way worse than the pain that comes with cutting your nails too short.

Our budget didn't allow for big luxurious club chairs. Haybails were the extent of it.

Oooooh.

Aaaaah.

Lanterns.

"Eat Me"... I did.

Intently hanging on every word.

Music:

Brooke Fraser. Michael Buble. Michael Battersby. Paul Wright. Shawn McDonald. Sixpence None The Richer. Colby Caillat. Goo Goo Dolls. Donovan Frankenreiter. James Morrison. Jack Johnson. Jason Mraz. John Mayer. The Fray. Lifehouse. Paul Wright. Paramore. Pete Murray. Righteous Brothers. Sade. Shooting Stars. Seal. Rob Thomas/ Santana. The Verve. Warren Barfield. Yellowcard. Robin Thicke. Ben Harper. Simon and Garfunkel. Norah Jones. Lynard Skynard. Eric Clapton. G. Love And Special Sauce. Simply Red. Fleetwood Mac. Gabriella Cilmi. Jamiroquai. Mark Ronson. Paula Cole. Phantom Planet.

We were tired of lame baby shower games so opted for a good ole game of Croquet and just sitting around eating, opening presents and drinking tea like ladies.

Unstructured parties are off the hizzay!

Back from the bludge.

My creation, originally uploaded by superlizabeth.

Ok, so I'm not dead or locked up in the slammer.
I've been uber busy of late, and now things have slowed down a tad so I've got some spare moments to cash in on by adding some of my Flickr favs.

Today:
Is wet and rainy. Lovely weather to move the cat and steal its warm spot curling up on the couch, drinking a Milo and watching Dr. Phil.

Mood:
I feel old for 4 reasons:
1. I have two wrinkles.
2. My left knee creaks.
3. I forgot how old I was the other day.
4. I turned my neck to the left and completely pulled it, so now I'm all stiff backed and have to turn my whole body to look out the window.

To Do:
♦ Draw in new journal.
♦ Get out of Pyjamas.
♦ Stop avoiding laundry pile.
♦ Dust all the dust.
♦ Make an amazing lunch for Husband.
♦ Find a new hobby.

Music:
♠ Lead me to the Cross - Brooke Fraser
♠ Splish Splash I was takin a bath - Bobby Darin

Memory:
Getting my jacket caught in the train door while it was closing in Newcastle, Australia.

Right now, I wish:
I was reading a book under a willow tree with homemade lemonade in the Mississippi summer.

Polyvore

I'm in a pink and purple mood today.

I'm not milking cows (WOO!) so I'm wasting my time on Polyvore drooling over all the cool stuff on there.

Mmm.

If I could, I'd be wearing this today.

Sipping a Latte at a Cafe in Paris.

Then I'd go buy a bread stick.

And pick flowers.

Then put it all in the basket on the front of my bike.

How To:

Make an inspiration board:

(Wooooh!)

You will need:

• A Husband. Or someone good at DIY stuff.
• Corkboard, Project board or whatever other kind of board that can handle pins and staples being stabbed into it frequently.
• Some purrrrty fabric to cover the board.
• A Jigsaw or something to cut the board to size if you have an "off piece".
• Staple Gun.
• Elastic fabric.
• Pins.
• Inspiration.

Step 1: Measure the board.

Step 2: Cut it to size.

Step 3: Cut fabric, stretch it to be nice and tight across the board and staple it.

Step 4: Take over from Husband, cause by now you are arguing about how tight to stretch it and where EXACTLY to staple it. I love you Dan.

Step 5: Get creative. I put pink elastic across my board. Looks nice against the maroon velvet. I've also got turquoise string to add to it.

Step 6: Ka Ching!

Go my pretties.

Time to get inspired.

Last Weekend In Pictures:

Ick.

Smile when you're on stage...

Fixed.

Bobby's private life caught on camera.

Watching "Wolverine" Gold Class Cinema style, oh yeah, that's how I roll.
Church. Preach. Tabernacle.
