8668476552_dd16f9b665_z

Well we still have one month of school holidays ahead of us so I’ve been sitting down working out a few weeks worth of meal plans. You’ll note I put whether they are vegetarian or gluten free or if there is an option to change the recipe. We eat quite a lot of veggie recipes […]

It’s nearly time for Christmas and this year I’ve been so aware of how much suffering has been going on around us. Just in the week leading up to Christmas there has been so much sadness in our community. Funerals for mums who have sadly lost their lives, twin toddlers who drowned and are in […]

Yes we have officially finished at our two schools and our homeschool too. We survived the year. And what a year it’s been. We had one in year 5, one in kindy and my twins who left school to be homeschooled for year 2. Homeschooling………..not for the faint hearted but so worthwhile. If I’ve learnt […]

I had an unexpected box of fabric arrive on Friday. And I am just loving and itching to cut into Just Another Walk in the Woods by Stacy Iest Hsu. The panel is similar to Lil Red and you can make two sweet dolls, two animals, a little quilt and a pillow. I’m throwing in […]

Yes there has been a little bit of craft. I created two Christmas projects for Brother and decided a bit of paper piecing was just perfect for this busy time of year. A great excuse to put your feet up and do a bit of stitching on the couch first before taking it to your […]
