Hello Nicabella

Archie

Let me introduce to you the newest addition to our family, Archie. He is a miniature foxy x silky terrier and what he lacks in stature he makes up for in get up and go!

Cutest face of all time right there.

Buying a puppy was a big decision for us, but not for one minute have we looked back.

I come across a tutorial that instantly screams to me "make it, make it now!". These gorgeous marbled votives are no exception.

Guess who will be on the hunt for a set to play around with this weekend??

May at a glance

Shannon and I celebrated our one year anniversary. Love you babe xx.

I made a beautiful wedding cake (mentioned back here). You’ll see it in detail very soon.

We celebrated Mother’s Day with a delicious slow cooked chicken dish followed by a white chocolate cheesecake. Yum!

All the trees in our yard turned orange, yellow and red before all but blowing away in the winter wind.

We had a date night at the cinema and saw ‘The Great Gatsby’.

And enjoyed one very lazy Sunday. A rarity in itself.

blog May-cation

The last few weeks have been a bit of whirlwind to say the least, so after much debate (in my own head that is) I’ve decided I need to take a mini break from blogging. It's not you, it's me. Really :)

Rather than spend another month beating myself up over sporadically posting somewhat disconnected content, I'm hoping that after a time out for myself for the whole month of May…eek, I will come back refreshed and full of renewed enthusiasm. 

See you back here in June xx

happy monday

Well peeps, after a few chilly nights and early mornings I think it's safe to say that Autumn has arrived. I love this time of year because while the days are still sunny and bright, at night I can curl up with a cozy blanket. Best of both worlds right?

i love...
