In the months leading up to Christmas, I got a bit obsessed with embroidery. It started when I bought some shiny new boxes to organise all my embroidery floss (I was an avid crosstitcher for many years so I have ALOT). I wanted to branch out from crosstitch and try something a bit more creative, and also learn some new techniques.
Like the rest of the world, I am having a bit of a love affair with succulents. That’s one good thing that came out of 2016, right??
I have been trying my hand at propagating lately (growing new baby succulents from old ones), and it’s so fun – and surprisingly quicker than I expected too. I love putting together little planter collections – I have one at work and a couple at home, so now I have started giving them to people as gifts. I made the one in the photos last year for a friend of mine at work. Continue reading
Friends, meet Stanley. He is an extremely adventurous Stegosaurus who enjoys road trips, making friends and eating grass.

Don’t worry – this post isn’t about how my #icandeclutter challenge has led me to a life of drugs (yet). No, the challenge grinds on, days after it should have ended, because I have realised that it takes a lot longer to sort and pack mountains of junk than I expected. Or maybe I just accumulated more junk that I expected. Either way, the first three loads have left the house, and there are only about 40 to go! I will update you all (hopefully soon) when the challenge is finito.
In the meantime, I wanted to share this piece that I stitched up last week.
Do you ever feel like every time you turn around, someone you know is having a baby, or finding out they are pregnant, or planning for a baby? As exciting as this event is, it always poses a small problem… what should I get them as the perfect baby gift? Continue reading
Happy first day of spring everyone! Well, except for all you northerners :). Here in Melbourne, the plants are growing, the blossoms are blossoming, the weather is getting warmer, and I have some awesome September Short Projects lined up! Continue reading
Can you believe it’s nearly the end of June? Only a month into winter, and I’ve already had my fill of freezing winds and cold rainy days! Well, I don’t mind the rainy days so much, because they give me an excuse to stay in bed and read. :) Continue reading
So a few weeks ago, I told you guys that I had three major projects that were keeping me busy. The first was our new grass – it’s still going really well, by the way! This was the second: Continue reading
I can do that!
