Happy Holidays!

I'm so enjoying these holidays. We're having a ball swimming in our new pool, playing Pictionary, grooving to Wii Dance, riding bikes, playing Leggo and getting creative on the Ipad (with our new fave app: Drawing Pad).

But most of all I'm enjoying a slower pace and spending time at home with my gorgeous family...

What are you doing?

Meet my new baby...

Sebastian Arlo - born 24 June 2011

 

 

I'm so thrilled to introduce you to my gorgeous new bundle of joy, Sebastian Arlo. Born on Friday, 24th June weighing 3060grams.

Isn't he a darling? And what a surprise..I was so sure I was having a girl!

Life has been blissful since his arrival. He is an absolute dream baby. And I totally love him to bits! 

New large prints for girls and boys and a little update

Gelati Art 'What are Little Girls Made of?' 11x14 inch print - $30

Gelati Art 'Dream Big' 11x14 inch print - $30

A lovely customer in Hong Kong requested some photos of our 'Dream Big' and 'What are Little Girls Made of?' prints framed so I thought I would share the images I sent her today with you.What do you think? I definitely love these prints in white frames.

My poor little blog has been even more neglected than usual these past few months - life has been busy but I have to admit enjoyable. I had a fabulous family trip to Dubai in September and since returning it has been non-stop. Christmas orders have well and truly started streaming in - thank you to all those super-organised people who do their Christmas shopping nice and early! I did my last Mathilda's Market for the year on Saturday in Brisbane. I decided to go out in a big way with a large stall and although it was a big job getting everything ready and setting up it was well worth it in the end as it was the busiest market of the year. Thank you for everyone that came by and said hi and purchased from me. My gorgeous new products were a big hit so these will eventually make it online...stay tuned. I will sign off here with a few photos from our wonderful time in Dubai...

Thank you Peekaboo!

Recognise this handsome fella? It's my very own darling son, Alexander Xavier, and now famous cover boy for the fabulous Peekaboo magazine! 

My little darling, Peekaboo's first ever cover boy!

Don't you think he looks so happy and perfectly serene in this photo taken by the very talented Naomi Vasington of Naomi V Photography? It captures him to an absolute tee as that is exactly what he is....a little ray of sunshine in our lives. He's the most positively optimistic child who always looks on the bright side and is rarely anything but smiley, happy and keen to please. His teacher tells me he has a beautiful caring nature. What more could you ask for in a son? I feel so, so, blessed to have him.

And here is the story about us inside the magazine. Thank you so much, Bianca, Wendy and Naomi for putting together this wonderful article and including us in your fabulous magazine. It has been such an honour!
