    Ta da! With two long weekends in succession I have been in a DIY frenzy. In a moment of absentmindedness (actually they happen a lot) I forgot the before photo of the chest of drawers but allow me to present the finished bedside tables. What do you think? We bought these in Atlanta when we…

    Canberra turned on a glorious spring day for our visit to Floriade yesterday. This was made even more delightful by finding a car park as close as possible. We had a friend visiting from Sydney and everyone had a lovely time in the tulips, on the ferris wheel and all the treats that seem to…

    The taste of spring in the air today has definitely influenced my sky blue choices. We have had a glorious weekend and I don’t think I’ll ever tire of watching the change of seasons. I’m now on leave for 10 days and today was a Canberra public holiday. We are off to Floriade on Thursday…

    Yes I am aware that grey is technically not a colour and Etsy colour search doesn’t work for shades of grey. I had to rely on the keyword search but do you spell it grey or gray? I’ve been writing those two for the last 3 minutes that I’m now not sure which is our…

    Yes that is me on the cover of this fictitious magazine. This is my next Uni assignment and it’s still a work in progress so feel free to critique if you are so inclined. This assignment has been a little frustrating due to lack of feedback from our lecturer (turns out she’s been overseas for…

    Hey friends, I’ve been a little absent on the blog front. Sorry about that. Things have been crazy and ironically I’m also doing an eCourse on blogging that seems to have halted my blogging – I can’t really explain that. I’m quite pleased with my colour finds today. Red orange (or is it red-orange) is…
