Happy Friday everyone, phew what a wonderfully busy week this has been, I have so many amazing things coming up that I can’t wait to share with you all! I have been throwing around ideas for a little office space since we moved into our home last year. Everything from turning one of our spare rooms into a office, to using the dinning room, in the end I worked from the couch – now as comfortable as that is, it just wasn’t very practical. I also don’t need a lovely spacious desk and I love being able to sit in the lounge room with my hubby while he watches movies – it’s when I get the most work done and it’s how we relax at the end of a day. So thats how I ended up with a sweet little desk in the living room, I am rather smitten with it! I hope everyone has a very lovely weekend planned, I’d love to hear your plans. x
I am completely smitten with the all of stunning flowers popping up at the moment, and even more amazed when someone incredibly talented turns them into something magical. Kelly from Blush Flowers is one of those ladies who is enormously gifted when it comes to styling bouquets, table settings and anything your heart desires – this darling shoot was photographed by the lovely Amanda Amundsen Photography. To all the lovely brides-to-be, be sure you have a chat to Kelly before your big day, I promise you will adore her work. x
On a cold grey winter’s day, is there anything more lovely than a bright jar of delicious homemade lemon curd? I whipped this up on the weekend with lemons from our backyard and we have been eating it with everything from ice cream, marshmallows, meringue and generously on toast since. This recipe is so easy to make and the end result of tangy sweet lemon curd that as smooth as velvet is amazing – I guarantee once you make this you’ll never buy store bought again. x

Happy Friday everyone, how has your week been? Oh gosh, mine has been incredible, I have been completely blown away by how generous, kind and wonderful each and everyone of my readers, contributes and sponsors are – I will never be able to express how much you all mean to me! I have been busy chatting to some very talented ladies all week and we have something very exciting lined up that I can’t wait to share with you. I have had the absolute honor of being mentioned as one of the Hot Five’s on NZ Girl, something I am completely beside my self about. Also, a very lovely reader of mine just got in touch with me saying that the stunning Treehouse Wedding I featured, was in fact her wedding we both couldn’t believe it – naturally we have been excitedly emailing each other all afternoon! Phew what a glorious week! I am forever amazed and so humbled by all the beautiful and very talented people that I have met since starting Made From Scratch, you all mean the world to me and I want to thank you all so very much for your fantastic support. I hope you have a truly fantastic weekend planned. x
I have a very sweet little story about this beautiful wedding from Queensland, Australia which was beautiful photographed by the wonderfully talented Feather and Stone. I featured this wedding because it is by far one of the most beautiful weddings I have ever seen – I mean seriously how cool would it be to get married in a tree house then play a few rounds of croquet before partying the night away with your gorgeous friends and family! You can see more of their beautiful day here. x
Not long after I published this post I got the sweetest comment from the bride, Laura, thanking me for featuring her wedding and saying that my blog inspired her wedding day – to say I was flattered was a understatement, I even called Ben at work to tell him! I quickly emailed Laura, thanking her and saying how absolutely honoured I was that my blog inspired her wedding. We have since built up the loveliest friendship over emails and still to this day I am completely overwhelmed and so flattered that a sweet post about a wedding could introduce me to such a beautiful person and friendship – we’ve even baked together over Skype! Laura also has the most beautiful blog called The Velvet Doe which she started a few months ago, it is filled to the brim with stunning writing and the most gorgeous collection of bits and pieces that she finds inspiring – you simply must have look, I know you’ll love it as much as I do! x
Oh my, I am beyond excited to share one of the sweetest engagement shoots ever! The wonderful Courtney and Cori’s spent the afternoon at the Royal Easter Show, between eating toffee apples, fairy floss and riding spooky rides the lovely and very talented Coralee and Alex captured their fun filled afternoon perfectly! Courtney and Cori congratulations on your engagement, I can’t wait to see what’s planned for your carnival themed wedding. x
Happy Friday everyone, I’m beyond thrilled that the weekend is finally here. It’s been a pretty crazy week and Ben and I are really looking forward to a little time off. If you have some time over the weekend I highly recommend whipping up a mouth watering batch of Caramel and Walnut Brioche’s they are ideal for brunch or thrown into a picnic basket for a winter picnic. I’d love to know what you have planned for the weekend.x
