Senseful Creations introducing...

"Bloomful Delights"

... a new addition to my creative table. The concept of "Bloomful Delights" is basically a bouquet of wonderful gifts fit for new babies and young children. I started doing this when my best friend gave birth to my precious god-daughter almost a year ago and the thought of it incorporated many of the essentials a new mother would need. I absolutely fell in love with the idea and fully acknowledged the gratitude I received from giving it. So here I am today, writing up this post to share with you my work and what I have been up to this holiday period.

These unique bouquets are most adorable; perfect gifts for maternity leave, baby showers, new arrivals or even just a cute gesture. They are composed of a variety of useful treats for new mothers and their baby such as babygrows, bodysuits, bibs, scratch mits and much more, each handcrafted into little buds and blooms. I try my hardest to have them beautifully presented. Here are a few snapshots of my work & recent orders:

My Bloomful Delights can be tailored to your preferences. I work with the basic idea (like the ones pictured above) but I am more than happy to add and adjust anything you may wish to make your special gift for someone the way you'd like it. Whether you'd just like a dainty bouquet made up of just socks and mits or a baby bouquet accompanied with a hamper full of goodies -- it's your call. So, if you have friends who are expecting a baby or have just given birth, these baby bouquets would make beautiful and not forgetting practical gifts for them - feel free to get at me on cj.villa4@googlemail.com, I'd be glad to answer any questions or queries.

I am looking forward to showing you more of my stuff which I am currently working on at the moment. That's that for now, please stay close and I'll keep you posted.

Also, BIG love to those who have been supporting me, you know who you are. You're all too fabulous - thank you!

Christmas Fun

Hello one and all...

Unfortunately, I was unable to slip a post in before Christmas so "(Belated) Merry Christmas!" I do hope you all had a wonderful time celebrating this festive time of the year. Ate plenty and even more; drank enough that you sung to every Christmas song that played; watched all the movies that completed the day; opened your gifts like a big kid; and more importantly, enjoyed the company and presence of your loved ones & friends. I most certainly did =)  Here are just a couple of snaps of my Christmas weekend to share with you:

Hopefully you've all recovered nicely from your food comas and hangovers lol. Now it's time to prepare yourselves for the new and coming year. Resolutions anyone?!

Thanks for reading,

Kinda hooked

Bit of a diversion from my usual blog entries but I have an urge to write about my weird fascination with a little gift I so kindly received for my birthday.

This...

At first glance, I was immediately enchanted with the cute butterflies and floral design but then I spent ages fiddling around, trying to figure out what exactly it was. Ha! That took quite a while.

After much confusion, I found out that it was a bag hook =) I realised how VERY useful this piece of accessory is to me. Restaurants especially. Let me tell you, I have a real big issue of not putting my handbag on the floor - it stays far from it; either on my chair or on my lap. Now, I no longer have to sit uncomfortably LOL.

 

So pretty, no space invader, just very convenient. 

Great stuff.... happy me!

Ps. It makes a cute Christmas gift

Spectacular and 23!

Hey again, thanks for dropping by!

I am slightly backdated with my blog but as many of you would agree, there just seems to not be enough hours in the day to fit in the things we love doing. But I have an hour to spare and I've chosen to squeeze this entry in for you =)

25th October: The day before my sweet sister Kim's birthday (my boyfriend's sister to be precise), I'm an only child you see hehe. As a special treat for her 23rd birthday, I organised a family lunch at the Oxo Tower. Perked up on the eight floor surrounded by London's scenic views and alongside the Southbank of the River Thames seemed more than perfect for the occasion. The place is complete with a Restaurant, Brasserie and Bar but I went for the Brasserie for a more modern menu for us. There were a lot of exciting dishes to choose from which is always rather difficult. Nevertheless, each dish we were served with was delicious and beautifully presented.

As breathtaking as the views looked during the day, this place would look absolutely amazing at night and I hope one day to come back again to experience this. I most definitely had a lovely time; such lovely company too. I can only hope the birthday girl enjoyed herself.

We also surprised her with some gifts to complete the evening. Together with a huuuuuge bouquet of assorted flowers, we got her a personalised gold necklace with her music name "KYM". For those that don't know, she's a developing singer and songwriter with an EP in the making. 

And...

While your here, do check out her MySpace page for a couple of demos of her tracks she has been working on.

I will be back sooner than you think with a blog about my very own birthday last week. Till then, keep safe and enjoy the rest of the week.

A Fine Autumn Lunch for Two

At the beginning of the month, I had a lunch date with the bestie at Gordan Ramsay's PETRUS. This day was far too exciting for us. Thought nothing much of it; just endless talks of maybe dining there one day. That came sooner than hoped for. I had a random temptation to book us in... and at the spare of the moment, I did! Strolling the backstreets of Knightsbridge in our pretty heels and fancy tops, we finally were at its doorstep.

 

On arrival, they kindly took our coats and led us to our seats; giving us a moment to embrace the luxurious restaurant and elegant settings. Now, let me tell you something, I'm a huge sucker for eating out... fine dining however, I accept as a special thrill. This sublime restaurant had a selection of, what I personally saw as an exquisite variety to eat & drink. However, my friend and I were absolutely clueless by what was on the menu. Confession - we had to end up asking. Oops! After translation, we ordered starters, mains and added a genuine touch with a sweet tasting glass of wine, to feel the part. 

Though it was a rather busy afternoon, the members of staff were still incredibly attentive and charming and our dishes were served in good time. Surprisingly, we were showered with little compliments to assist our meals which was a fabulous treat!

What we found extremely interesting was the final course. Dessert was like magic - presented with a spherical dome of chocolate; then the waiter poured over hot chocolate sauce on top which melted the dome to a marvelous ball of honeycomb and icecream.

Kindly presented with another take away surprise on our way out... cheekily saved for our other halves! It was most definitely a fine dining experience to remember. 

Thank you Ramsay, till next time x

Touch of exotic fusion...

GILGAMESH; I walk pass it all the time, I hear terrific reviews about it all the time, I long to dine in it all the time... oh wait, I did! Finally, after almost four years, to be exact, I got the chance to experience this Pan- Asian showpiece of a restaurant. Another one of Camden's many gems that sits at the heart of Stables Market.

After a stressful day at work, I just couldn't wait to sit and enjoy the remainder of the evening with my other half. At the time, it was fairly empty; we were able sit wherever we wished, which is always a plus. Immediately, we were greeted by our lovely waitress with a much needed glass of wine (yay!) and as we were a tad too excited, we had already chosen our dishes in advanced; she was rather impressed. They were out within no time, one after the other. Delicious is an understatement. I wouldn't waste a minute if you haven't yet eaten here.

Here's a couple of snaps from our delightful evening:

Bon Appetit!
