Its all about cupcakes… for expecting mums

Cupcake Project… for the mum to be

Featured Blog

This craft project is from the ever delightful mother and daughter duo blog, A Spoonful of Sugar

Cupcake Gift

These practical and pretty cupcakes are sure to delight the Mum-to be!

Materials:
White face cloth
Paper Baking Cases
Comforter/dummy
Ribbon
Ric rac trim

Fold the face cloth into a strip that is slightly wider that the height of the baking case. Roll it up tightly and insert it into the baking case. Position a length of ric rac around the baking case and secure it with a piece of double sided tape. Position the comforter in the top of the “cupcake” and decorate it with a ribbon.

Tip: The Cupcakes would make a great table centrepiece for a baby shower. Alternatively, wrap them in clear cellophane for a sweet gift.

Spoonful of Sugar is a mother/daughter blog. Mum, Lisa, collaborate with her 12 year old daughter, Sarah.

I spent ages on their site seeing the different inspirational projects.  I plan to sit down with Tiana one of these weekends and do a project together!  I am sure you will find heaps of inspirational finds too.

Shellie’s KooL KidZ

Published by Elizabeth under KooL KidZ

 

 Long term blog reader and customer of La Toriana, Shellie tells us about her boys…

Mitch (3) and Lochie (10 months)
My boys had a wonderful time doing finger painting recently.  
 
 

 

 I got some non-toxic finger paint and some cardboard and cheap canvasses from the local $2 shop and set it all up in the bath.
They were able to paint the bath and the tiles as much as they wanted. we did some prints on cardboard which we can fold into birthday cards. very easy and lots of fun.
I did also make sure i got some lovely footprints on a canvas too. then we had fun washing it all up. I got some great photos along the way!
wow… thanks Shellie… these certainly made me smile… what great fun!!!  Gorgeous pics too Shellie…..  thanks for sharing!!

 

 

 

ANOTHER GREAT TIP FROM SHELLIE 

i buy a yummy pesto from the local market and freeze it in small portions so that on those days where i have nothing prepared for lunch , i can easily cook up some pasta (i always keep gluten free animal pasta in the cupboard) and just toss the pesto through it.
(the frozen pesto defrosts quickly in the cooked pasta and also cools the pasta a bit at the same time). easy peasy quick meal for a stressful day, when your brain is not working and the kids are hungry and you can;t think of what to cook for lunch! it also does not create many dishes!
