A piece of carrot...

Since I started my contract at work I think my blood sugar levels have surely risen....I work with many colleagues who require regular sugar hits....this is just one of the cakes we shared today. I haven't seen a carrot cake decorated like this for a while.  (This was taken with my phone so it's not very clear...)

Dad's Curry

I added the asparagus for some greens.  The beef was so tender but yet still in tact, the potatoes and carrots the right texture too.  I was so tempted to have another bowl but thought I better pace myself!  

He looks at the heart...

Trying to get back into something I should have finished months ago and struggling to feel motivated.  In trying to kick start that motivation I just finished listening to a talk a friend bought me from her time at Regent College in Canada.

One of the verses referenced is 1 Samuel 16:7:

'But the Lord said to Samuel, "Do not consider his appearance or his height, for I have rejected him.  The Lord does not look at the things man looks at.  Man looks at outward appearances, but the Lord looks at the heart."'

How quickly we do perceive and judge people not just on their outward appearance but also by their actions....But often it's not until we can understand their hearts and minds that we may realise we have made a totally wrong call initially.

What wonder to think that God knows our hearts and yet we need to work so hard at knowing others hearts and look beyond what we see on the surface.  

Simple lunch

After eating 2 sausage rolls this week, thought I better have a simple and healthy lunch....Not the fanciest of rice paper rolls but satisfactory...rare roast beef with vermicelli, carrot and cucumber.

This goes with this, and this goes with that..but it's definitely not Sussan!

These are the shoes I mentioned in my previous post.

The Clergeries were a treasure find at Pelle in Paddington and my Pradas (which also don't see the light of day very much) were purchased in New York from the Prada store in Soho.  What a treat to wear such highly esteemed designers on my feet in one day! : )

Dressing up for a wedding

I haven't been to a wedding in a very long time, but I am thankful to the Lord for this particular friend's upcoming marriage tomorrow.  Congratulations Tracey and Ray! 

I am also thankful that I didn't have to buy a new wedding outfit for once!  It's nice to know I have appropriate and reliable staples in my wardrobe.  

The mint and ivory silk dress with the Robert Clergerie ivory heels for the day.

The black art deco beaded dress with the Prada evening shoes for the night.

The mint dress is my bridesmaid dress from my sister's wedding.  I bought the evening dress on sale a few years ago and have never worn it so I am glad it finally gets to breathe some fresh air.

Man and wife...lovebirds

This is for the friends who are getting married tomorrow....I love this card - I love retro orange and brown!
