Feature - Ata Ashiru - Inkhearts

So many inspiring businesses out there, women entrepreneurs juggling work and home. Ata Ashiru is building her empire on creating bespoke invitations. I mentioned an upcoming feature on her business - Inkhearts in a recent post and she has shared her ideas with us Here

Hope you are having a nice week...keep smiling :0)

Coconut Cupcake with a Bounty Frosting

A very long week for me, but I will bounce back soon enough. Meanwhile, here's a scrumptious cupcake recipe to try out courtesy of Cynthia Stroud. I would love to hear your comments, do send me screenshots also, if you can Click here for recipe

Go on! Get started

One thing I love about this space is that I am meeting lots of talented people. I mentioned recently that we learn from each other and draw strength from other people's experiences. I hope the businesses that are featured inspire you to PUSH! and do something wonderful with your creativity. These people have and are doing great things with their talents. So go on, get started today and show me what you've got - I DARE YOU

What attracted me to this business was the name - to be honest, and after scouring the company's website I now admire the work they do. There aren't too many businesses that take care of the little details in an event, this company adds a touch of class.

Inkhearts is a design studio specialising in wedding and occassion stationery.  From what I have seen I think Class and Elegance describe it. The lady behind the company works in a big firm and juggles her work and home commitments with running a business.  I will be featuring the business very soon, so watch this space.

June 8 exactly a week from today.

Google have indicated that most services should not be affected…touchwood! However if you have any issues navigating to this space, it may because we are moving into a a new era of connecting on cyberspace. Just in case you are wondering what I am rabbiting on about it's World IPv6 day which marks the transition of a number of internet domains to a new IP address space.

...That's all we need to know, leave the techies to do their thing and hope they don't break it in the process.

How has your week been so far?

Feature - Cynthia Stroud : Cakes by Cynthia

In a recent Post I  mentioned creative Cynthia Stroud who runs Cakes by Cynthia. She has shared some of her ideas with us...See details on the Features page. 

I enjoy featuring inspiring businesses and talking to the people who drive it. We can learn a lot from their experience and hopefully motivate ourselves to channel our creativity into something productive.

Thanks for doing this Cynthia and the very best to you and your team.

Random Musings

I think I need one of those top Nikon camera gears to capture images. Just took a walk round my neighborhood and was admiring the lovely patios, gardens and side walks some people have. I live in a small community where everyone tends to mind their own business a lot (actually bordering on a bit over the top) However everyone sorts of tries to outdo the other, for example during christmas, who has got the most fanciful decorations etc etc.Don't get me wrong, I do like my neighbors (at least the handful I know) they are very pleasant when you get to know them (acquitances don't come easy around here) I got to know the ones I know through my grand aunt who came from my home country to help take care of my little princess when she was born. She assumed she was back home where it's a come one come all - open door celebration on "name the baby day". Needless to say, my neighbors must have been surprised when the old lady from across the street in her African attire covered with a huge coat, hat and socks in the middle of the summer, knocked on their door. Well they came round and we had a good laugh..one of the wives actually got so pissed, her hubby had to escort her home - they do have blood running in their veins afterall :0) not ice.......anyway I digress.

It's way past midnight now, and I wanted to upload some pics I took of some rose covered patios. The pics would have looked so much better on a pro camera, hence the reason I started talking about the Nikon and then my neighbors....before I start going off track again, here are the pics..I should get the dust of my patio and add some colours too. I do love roses :0)
