AR-TEE CRAF-TEE SLUMBER PAR-TEE

Do you remember when you were little and you'd put on your cutest, favourite pajamas and have your friends sleep over? You'd giggle and talk, play games and watch horror movies which seriously scared you and made you ever more grateful to have your bestie beside you.

The good old days aaahhh.

I really don't see the point in letting go of priceless pleasures just because you a few years older. I might not be a tween or even a teen anymore but a sleepover with friends still warms my heart.

An adult slumber party? Now that sounds rad. Add in some crafts and to the moon we go.

The invites.

Last night's Crafty slumber party was just what was needed to ease my ever busy mind. Sleepovers on a week-and-work night? Scandalous!

Here's what went down.

The Craft Station was the nights main attraction.

Summer nights are way too short. We only managed to squeeze in 3 crafts/diys, a pancake bar, a bunch of laughs and a movie.

First up, modelling clay. I did a little demo on how to make clay flowers.

Messy hands.

So pretty, right?

Second craft, a home made body scrub.

Good enough to eat!

Lastly at the end of the night as our eyes began closing we squeezed in an easy strain-less DIY.

Washi tape candles.

Snacks is a must.

Popcorn & Chocolate? What a wonderful combo!! Made by a generous, sweet friend.

Crumpet/Pancake Bar. Fluffiest crumpets ever! (Recipe over here.)

OM NOM NOM

Oh yes! Goody Bags that guests filled up with their crafts and carried home this morning.

Paints for the clay sculptures. Unfortunately we didn't get that far. That only means another crafty night should be planned soon!

SPRING THEME EID

The fragrant spring breeze gets me excited. The startlingly beautiful scents, sounds and sights that spring brings forth remind us of new beginnings and new life. 


The air is delicious with the scent of flowers all around.

AN ASIAN AFFAIR

After a five week abstinence from the land of honey and sweetness, the Honeybird child is back. We recently celebrated our Eid. Here are a few pics from our Asian Eid.

TART F/W 2013

The Tart F/W 2013 Collection consisted of both elagant and sophisticate, and sporty wear. It included beautiful embellishments, warm rich colours, slim silhouttes and CAPES! I have a feeling capes will be huge this season.
Once again, the collection is wearable.
Tart just keeps getting better.
