Our little triathlete
Yesterday Georgia participated in the Tasmanian schools triathlon challenge at Bellerieve oval. We could not be more proud. Georgia is the type of child who wants to try everything. Even when she was in kinder she was so brave and confident. So much so that she sang into the microphone in school assemblies, and for […]
Fabric Friday: Kokka
This lovely fabric is a Japanese fabric called ‘Trefle’ by Kokka. It is a thick and close woven fabric that would be great for furnishings and accessories. I bought this fabric because in one my my appliqué phases I thought it would be lovely for appliqués, but now I think I would like to make […]
Ten things I have learned from NaNoWriMo

We did jobs around the house, together, and then we toasted marshmallows […]

Fabric Friday: Anna Maria Horner Festival

I bought […]
My daughter’s jeans
