Fabric Friday
All right, I might be going just a little bit crazy with my etsy shopping. Not to mention my fabric shopping. But I bought some owl fabrics last week and I can’t wait for them to arrive! I don’t know what I’m going to do with this one. It strikes me as quite boyish. I’m […]

I bought these pillow cases for 50c each. I really want to use them as pillow cases, but I probably won’t. I’d like to sew an apron for Elora and a little skirt for Georgia (or myself). I’ve also thought of sewing strips together to make a pretty scarf, possibly backing it with some suiting […]
Cleaning the shower
I know. This is totally random and I totally need to get a life, but as a busy working mum I’m after any time savers I can find. If you’re like me the only time you really think about how much your shower needs a clean is when you are actually showering. By the time […]

It’s a very pretty fabric and I think I’d like to make a scarf or necklace with it. I’m imagining one of those fabric-wrapped bead necklaces, which would jazz up a simple outfit. It […]
Recorder bag
On Georgia’s book list this year is a recorder. She has been using one of monte’s old recorders that he used as a child. She loves this fact and is proud of using something linked to her father’s past. However, the other children’s recorders came with a little bag, and she did want one – […]

Princess Butterfly. That is what this gem is called. I like it. It is bright, florally and very pretty. I think that you either love this or you hate it. I like it for its crispness and the sharpness and colour of the images. I bought it at spotlight. I think it was $12.95 per […]
