Tomorrow is St. Patrick's day. (See my earlier post here). As you may know I love to bake (even though I don't ever actually eat it!) So, I just had to share some adorable baking ideas for St. Patrick's Day. Fancy a shamrock cupcake topper? Me too. Thanks so much to Heidi at The Pink Peach for letting me use this pic. I love pink and green - perfect for a girly St. Patrick's day. I also contacted Laura at Laura's Little Party to see if I could post this pic of the cupcakes. Luckily she … [Read more...]

Hi All. Tomorrow is St. Patricks' day. The day when everyone in the country is Irish. Or lucky. Or drunk. It's a special day in the Home Made house as I have an Irish dancing daughter, so the day is always busy with dance commitments. Also it's my Mum's birthday on St. Patrick's day, so we have extra reason to celebrate. Anyway, I rarely pass up an opportunity to decorate the Home Made house, so I thought I'd share with you these pics to inspire you (and me) to go get green this St. … [Read more...]

Hi All. So, the personal stuff out of the way first. It's been a crazy busy start to the year for me - blogging is certainly not heading where I had intended it to head, but all in good time my dears, all in good time. Anyway, on to blogging: Here is a gorgeous mermaid party I have wanted to blog about for, like, aaages. This is my absolute fave theme for a little girls party (well, at the moment it's my fave theme - this could change any time). A Mermaid Party. And because I am desperate to … [Read more...]

HAPPY NEW YEAR!!! And happy new year to my dear blog. And because my blog is not even one year old yet, I thought I would do a top 12 posts for the year -it seems to be the thing to do. Oh, so this is totally NOT my original idea to either a) do the post or b) title it 'Top 12 of 2012".  But it's a good idea! So, here are my top 12 posts (so far).   Happy Halloween Party   Candy Cane (red and white) Christmas Party Fantastic Friday Feature: Cakes by Sharon Rainbow … [Read more...]

Local christmas lights photo by Home Made Parties

Christmas is over, and I feel a bit sad. Yep, it's true. We had a lovely Christmas - the usual family Christmas I imagine: lots of laughter, crazy relatives, obscure gifts, over eating, bad Christmas cracker jokes - this year we threw in a trip to the beach before lunch too (admittedly the beach IS across the road!) We are exhausted! Just look at poor 'Santa Paws' here (aka Pablo!) It really snuck up on us this year - I mean don't get me wrong, presents were wrapped and ready since about … [Read more...]
