my creative space {when more, is, more!}

Nothing is going on here in the singular!  phew, now that I see all the multiples lying around my house, I can understand why I've felt "in production".....

You see, I crafted (no pun intended) a little idea to make some gifts to bring with us overseas.....And when I thought about our lovely ladies in their stunning Italian village....I thought to food, which made me think of cooking....which of course.....make me think of aprons.   These eight aprons, are now safely packed ready for their italian food adventure! 

And for the younger, girls in the family......a little drawstring bag....with little sleeve for a pen or pencil.

Perfect for glasses, a notebook, camera or change. I made eight, but only needed five, but already the other three have been allocated to some special recipients.....I'm kicking myself i didn't make nine so I could keep one myself! 

And then, well, I couldn't stand looking at my bowl overflowing with lemons, that I just had to make some Lemon Butter! 

Yesterday was my Nonna's 81st Birthday, so the kids and I made some hummingbird cupcakes with cream cheese frosting to take over for morning tea......yum!!!

I finished off some adorable snack mats for the kids.....and no I don't have three kids.....but again, this extra one will have a new home soon!  See I just can't help myself, I'm always making MORE!

They have a plastic covering, so just wipe clean.  My kids LOVE them!  No need for a plate, just sit the snack on the mat and they love sitting a cup on the circle....

My inspiration for these came from here (I changed the wording though)

Actually the only thing singular in my creative space, is this one pair of baby booties I made....but then again, there are two of them.....

More is more, when it comes to craft and you can find so much more in this creative hub...

Speaking of more....check out all 4 of my giveaways!

It's no secret I love craft.  I don't remember ever not loving craft.  I think if you love something so innately, you will do it no matter what comes your way in life.  I've crafted ever since I can remember.  It may have started re-fashioning old thrifted beads, or making dolls clothes with scraps, but each step I was learning, creative, using my imagination and get lost in the world of craft.

Giveaway Part 3 {Fancy a $100 Myer gift card?}

You know I love fashion right? right? And if you frequent here on a Sunday, you can usually catch me linking up with Ms Fancy Pants herself in our quest to make an effort with Fashion at least once a week!

yeah well, I was a little stuck as to how I'd tie in my love of fashion in my Bloggy Birthday Giveaway Extraveganza....

Pondering out loud can sometimes have benefits... Sponsered by my lovely husbands business, he is providing one lucky ready with a $100 Myer Gift Card.

Yep!  $100 bucks, just like that! What would spend it on?  Shoes, coat, jeans, fancy bra!

 Whatever. You. Like!

Ok - how to enter...

simple....

Tell me your favourite colour you love to wear and why?  And I will not accept "Black coz it makes me look skinny"! I'm loving wearing navy, and grey at the moment.  So wintery and not the traditional Melbourne Black!

Giveaway Pt 1 {Foodie Friday}

Ok, so here it is....the begining to my bloggy birthday party and we are kicking it off, with a foodie theme.

Here at Mira Narnie Land, we love our food, I love cooking (and more importantly eating) and I love sharing recipes and great products.

My friends at Bakers Delight approached me to try some of their new ready made pizza bases, and without a doubt I jumped at the chance!!!  I love Bakers Delight - you try walking past their stores and not stopping for some tasty scones, loaves, crusty bread or my kids favourite, the cheesymite scroll!

So the other night, we had a "pizza night" and got all the yummy ingredients out on the bench (took all of five minutes).  These pizza bases are par-cooked, so if you like, you can roll them out a little thinner, add your topping and then bake in a hot oven for 10-15 minutes......

what could be easier mid-week?

Here are our creations.  I made some lovely home-made pizza base sauce....so the kids added, ham, mushroom cheese and olives.

Hubby and I had procuttio, cheese, mushrooms, asparagus and caramlised onions.

Yum yum!


Now the giveaway part!  I've got 5 x $5 vouchers to give away! Also, if you make your own pizza using the Bakers Delight Pizza Bases, you can enter on their Facebook page, and possibly win $5000!

Entry is simple:

1. Follow my blog (if you don't alreay)
2.  Leave me a comment...

That's it....

ps - Come back tomorrow for Part 2 of my Bloggy Birthday Giveaway!

Birthday Giveaway!

No, my blog is not having a birthday - actually it will be my birthday soon, and instead of it being all about me - well, it can be about me a little bit, I thought it would be a great time to have another giveaway!

So what will this giveaway be.....

Totally up to you!

If you are the winner, you can choose from items in my store up to the value of $29.

Why $29 - well, that is how old I am turning, so I thought that would be a good enough reason.

As it's my birthday giveaway and I am making up all the rules, I will make entry really really easy peasy.

Just leave a comment below and thats it!  If you think that is too easy....take a look in either my Etsy Store or my recently updated Made It store to see what captures your eye and let me know what you would pick if you are the lucky winner!!

Get commenting - entries close 21st July 2010 at 12noon - why?  That's my birthday!

Australian Residents only!
