Our Neighbourhood

We have some folks over from Malaysia, and we brought them for a walk around the neighbourhood. Tall pine trees, open fields and ovals, busy peak hour suburbia.

The kids took them to their favourite park.

Lachlan is getting real good at the monkey bars

This is my dad, their grandfather...

He turned sixty a couple of weeks ago. But he's still great at abscaling!

We love our neighbourhood.

Something I Made...

Photo A Day|Day 25
Dolly

This is a dolly that I made some time ago. Look at Lily, she was sooo tiny then! And can you see how contented she was with her little dolly friend? Anyways, this little dolly has found a new home and I promised Lily that I would make her another one......

3 other dollies came and went. Didn't think they would be SO popular!

(Look! She's got the same mohawk!)

Hush little baby go to sleep... mummy will make you another dolly someday.

(I did not buy a sewing machine to just make 4 dollies.... or did I??)

Sweet As...

Pistachio Cream Macaron

I haven't got a picture for today but I thought I'd point you back to one of my favourite post. It's one of the rare occasions that they actually turned out not bad!

So click click HERE to read the whole post.

With the Chinese New Year lurking around the corner, I have my egg whites separated and I'm thinking... NO pineapple tarts this year, but how about some pineapple macarons?

Citrus and Candy has some serious sweet eye candy, as well as some heart throb dessert happening, so why not hop on over that way and tell her I sent you?

There are things that I can't live without and cookbooks are one of them. I have such a soft spot for recipe books and can never EVER resist buying a book that I like.
