we are celebrating my sisters engagement tonight
thought i would show off the invites i designed and printed for her, just a simple design which i free hand in illustrator. two love birds celebrating with champagne (she got engaged over in france at the moet factory, really our can you top that?) and the champagne bubbles are love hearts of course.

Well, while i'm getting fatter my the day, more house progress has been happening to.
The man has been working hard, last week he was a carpenter and a bricklayer and finally all our windows are in, we might have a house in time for christmas.

my job for the weekend is to workout the design for the bathroom, something i haven't really thought about but here is some inspiration.

i don't know about you but i'm really get sick of all these 'inspirational' sayings floating around the web but this one caught me.

what can happen in a weekend
• new kitchen cabinets installed
• remove old kitchen
• move the entire household into new room
• totally strip gyprock from existing house

give me a new set of feet and
a new husband (i think he is a little worst for wear)
aah nothing that a good sleep won't cure.

i ended up with a light earthy grey porcelain tile and a very speedy tiler, i couldn't be more happy!! and now that job is done, this week is about setting up camp in our new room so we can get started on the original part of the house - which will be completely gutted.
we cut a new access into the new room, the kitchen sink used to be here but will soon be the new hall way.

Pendant lights...
...i need one for the kitchen
i'm unsure what i want, black one or white?
or should i attempt to steal my
parents authentic 60's copper one
that i have been eying off for some time...
