Happy Friday people! Hope you haven't had too much of a frantic week running about Christmas shopping, baking or decorating. I'm a bit disappointed that it's only a week until Christmas to be honest, I thought I had so much more time to get my craft on and bake some Christmas goodies, have some Christmas cheers drinks and put some more thought into my gifts. Alas I am running out of time. Sigh. Here are some inspiration hits for you lovelies though...

A very beachy Hanukkah.

Belinda's new kitchen had me totally rethinking Ikea flat-pack kitchens and open shelving.

This year I'm putting our tree in the corner of our dining room, and this is how I pictured it in my head. Hmmm...maybe next year after some new curtains and a lick of paint.

Ha ha ha. Funny funny.

The most eco-friendly, sweet and thoughtful nursery.

In the seventies my mum had a very rad kitchen with red pots and pans and utensils. She says she was so hip and groovy amongst her friends for dinner parties. Sometimes I still find remnants of the rad kitchen, like playing play dough with my nieces and using a (somewhat chipped and faded) red rolling pin that has been sitting in the play dough container for twenty years. I think these came from the rad kitchen of yesteryear.

A very pretty dress.

New Years resolution #1: attempt to learn to knit (again!) to make this blanket for pregnant friend. Love.

A very simple but effective felt wreath if you are struggling for last minute decorating ideas.

Next time I don't know what to get my Dad for Christmas/birthday/Father's day please remind me of this.
