    I love Etsy treasuries but this is the first one I have made. Inspired by summer I thought I’d put some imagery to how it makes me feel and so my Summer in Australia treasury was born. Of course I had to include a kangaroo but more so because I have been to Pebbly Beach…

    I took this image from a fabric for sale at Retro Age Vintage Fabrics and saved it to my iPad. One of my favourite tools on the iPad is Adobe Ideas – it’s incredibly fun to draw with (whilst standing in the kitchen waiting for lentils to cook) and better still it’s free. I love…

    I love brown! Love it love it! I wear it and choose it when the opportunity arises. I love that it’s rich and tactile and I’m pretty sure my choices today echo that. Here’s what I found: TOP: Sage and Mage – Mocha Cardamom Body Sand. My first reaction was that I wanted to plunge…

    In our family we have a tradition of buying 3 (yes just 3) new ornaments for our tree each year. As you can imagine our tree has a very eclectic mix of one of a kind ornaments collected over the years. Fortunately this tradition has only been in existence since moving to Canberra so our…
