Well after 2 years in this house I have permanently moved back into my sewing room……..and am loving it. It’s still a work in progress and there is nothing fancy but I love that no more exchange students means I can stay put and have everything at my fingertips. I also love that it’s a little […]

Yes, I’m still sewing here! With Mathilda’s at the end of October, umpteen bolts of fabric and our little baby coming in between I had to promise retro daddy that I would have all my sewing and market preparations done before she arrives. So my sewing room is like a sweat shop as I cut and sew and try […]

I don’t have any quaint little handwritten recipes passed down to me from older relatives tucked away at my house. But I do have the CWA Cookbook which I think makes up for it!

But I’ve been sewing. Yes, it’s true. I took a break from craft room schedules, fabric cutting, blogging, folding laundry (it’s really been piling up here) and finally plugged in my little machine. I whipped up some quick baby bibs this week and it felt good! Really good. I used a pattern from Quilts and more Spring 2010 issue which […]

When was the last time you watched a movie that just moved you so much and left you shell shocked and oh so sad. That was me last night when I watched a short australian film called Polly And Me. A fictional story based on true stories about child abuse and neglect right here in Australia. […]

Mummies, I’m sure you’ve heard it before…. you have your hands full/how do you do it all/are they all yours/you’re a super mum/you must be busy/do you sleep and so it goes on. But for me one of the great things about having 3 (soon to be 4) children so close together means one thing……… they […]

Life is tough when your nearest ice cream van…………. is parked next to views like this! It’s at times like these when I just love living where we live in this big bustling city of Sydney! When you can forget about the high cost of living/real estate/pollution/traffic/number of people and so on…………… and for Keira, well it’s the best ice cream van […]
