About Me

I am needing a little place in life for myself. I enjoy all creative pursuits and appreciate almost anything handmade.

pink pearlie skirts and ducks!






A week or so ago we awoke on a Monday feeling a little jaded. So a naughty decision was made. Instead of the usual flying around to meet school starting times we decided to take a mental health day and opt out of the whole routine. A lovely, relaxing day of bike riding and babycino's. At the end of it we felt much like this duck family we passed on the lake; very content! I wanted to reflect on this day as it was one of those days when it feels all is right in theworld. Back on track with my creating today. I had picked up some pretty, shiny material with a blossom style embroidered flower whilst thrifting around the local shops. In my true whip-up style, unplanned without pattern I came up with this little skirt, on and ready for school pick-up!! Yes, results!!!

the 6year old distraction


It seems I am in that place where all crafters go sometimes when they are time poor, lacking inspiration, can't decide what to start first or crafting just feels like too much of a guilty pleasure. Anyway not much to show from the last few weeks which seems pretty ironic considering I claimed in a goddess way that everyone would receive a handmade gift for xmas. My god, what was I thinking. Must have been having a buddhist moment. So after carrying home truck loads of books from the local library week after week I have decided that I probably won't make all my xmas presents this year.
Onto my next little piece of news, my first born tonight lost his first tooth! So as we sat together trying to draw the perfect tractor for his 6th birthday party invitations out it fell, the tiniest tooth I have ever seen. Needless to say he scampered to bed in record time awaiting that very generous tooth fairy!! Cheers to 6 year olds and to you Alister my very special boy!

the firsts

A night of firsts. First time I have left my children with a babysitter, a real one you pay! First time attending a trivia night! Achievable. My faith in the teens has been restored with a very sweet 13yr old playing happily with my little children.
