Beki Makes Things: My ring cushion beginnings

I am attempting to cross stitch my ring cushion. I hope that it looks as nice in reality as it does in my head!

My dress arrived!

My wedding dress arrived this morning. It’s all very exciting. Obviously I can’t put a picture up yet, but here is a sneak peek…

Today I had the day off of work in order to get my hair done properly at the hairdressers. I would usually bleach and dye my hair myself, but seeing as I would like to make sure that my hair looks perfect for my wedding, I decided to go and get it done properly.

Kapiti Beach Walk

Today we took Herman to the Kapiti Coast and it was lovely! We began the day with a café break and then wandered along the beach and took some photos.

Gardening

James decided that we needed to mulch the front yard today. He decided quite late in the day, which meant that we rushed to get the mulch off the trailer and get it back to the shop!

We weren’t sure at the time if we had a boy chicken (Rooster) orContinueContinue reading “Jeane is in fact Gene!”

Beki Makes Things: We built a fence

This weekend James and I finished our fence. We’d started with one side a few months ago and have now completed the whole thing. We worked solidly Friday evening after work to prep for the fences posts, managing to cement in a few before it got dark. Saturday was a full on day of fenceContinueContinue reading “Beki Makes Things: We built a fence”

Camerara

Camerara is what me and my mum generally use when referring to a camera…pronounced Cam-eh-ra-ra. Anyway, this week my friend at work has lent me one of his cameraras to play with to figure out if i’m going to want to be bothered with a DSLR camera. Oh my god it’s so much fun! I’veContinueContinue reading “Camerara”
