The Tardis, Slurm and Brain Slugs..oh yes

Ok, next up from the Sci Fi party - food and decor..

Danielle was THE Cardboard Queen, making up sci fi portals & a robot from left over flatpack boxes.

We had the Stargate..


The Tardis, which was our front door, of course...


And a Doctor Who favourite, K9, the robot dog...


And a small reference to 'Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy'...


And onto the food!..

Popplers (these were a combo of chicken bites, cheese balls and some sort of seafood ball)


Planet Pops....now the raspberry licorice didn't work so well with the chocolate oreo cake pops, flavourwise, BUT they did look good, and that is the main thing, right? :-P


Glagnars Human Rinds (Prawn crackers)..


A Futurama favourite, Slurm (Mountain Dew soft drink)


Dalek cupcakes...a combo of chocolate cake, marshmellows, caramel chocolate sticks, white choc dots and a whole lot of chocolate buttercream icing....mmmmm, yum! But oh so sweet.


Brain Slug cupcakes - fondant slugs made by me (such fun!) and a couple of cans of strawberry icing squiggled on to represent brains...


Blue Sun reference from Firefly - noodle boxes filled with mini dim sims, mini spring rolls and prawn cakes.


Bachelor Chow - Malteasers


So...lots of yummy food and fun decor - I'm still finding smudges of blue paint on my door frame from the not-quite-dry tardis, and all the cupcakes are finally gone thanks to popping them in my kids lunch boxes (had to get them out of the house....so hard to resist :-P).

Dressed up adults still to come.

All photos taken by my super talented sister Danielle - you can check out more of her work over here too.

Creative Space : Crochet Puffs

In between sci fi party preps, I've been slowly plugging away at my puffy circle crochet squares.

I'm loving how they look, and can't wait to block them out, and turn them into a blanket (which is still awhile off yet :-P). The colour scheme is teals, greys, pinks, a splash of watermelon and a touch of pale latte, with white outers. So far, which is 8 full squares, and 4 more circles, I'm not sick of the colour scheme, and I'm trying to not over-think the combos for the circles.

What are you working on at the moment?

Creativity abounds over at these spaces.

Ooh, and just realised my last post was #600..obviously I've been rattling on for quite some time now :-P. Am thinking a give-away may be due...will be back with that when I figure out what.

Sci Fi Kidlets

On the weekend, Roh and I (with fantastic help from my sis Dan) threw a TV Sci Fi Dress Up party. I'll probably end up doing about 3 posts about it - kids, decor & food and adults - so just a pre-warning :-P

First up - the kids!

Alannah was Padme Amidala from the tv cartoon series Star Wars 'The Clone Wars'..


Sienna was Kaylee Frye from 'Firefly'..


Jude was a Dalek (yep that was a dalek costume I was working on in last week's creative space)


Ash was Captain Avery from a recent 'Doctor Who' episode...


Cedar was Nibbler from 'Futurama'...isn't he adorable?..


And Levi was another Star Wars 'The Clone Wars' character..the ever cheeky robot R2-D2..


So cute, and so fun!

Now, if I could only sleep for the next week to get over all the prep work and the actual party, that would be fab....he he

Paper Play

A little bit of scrapping with my sis, during the school holidays. It's always fun to play with paper, and I feel like I need to do a few 'Levi' layouts - there are only 3 of him so far (bad mummy :-P)

Kooky Green Owl Goodness

My talented, dear friend Nadya has started her own little creative endeavour with 'The Kooky Green Owl'. She's already hit one market quite successfully, and will be appearing at quite a few more, in and around Melbourne.

I thought I'd share a few photos of her lovely, resin jewellery creations :




Nadya has also started created gorgeous fascinators and plays a little with felt, of which the results will be going to market with her on her next trip.

Isn't it all just so lovely?
