Guys, there is wallpaper on my walls! This is new for me – I usually use wallpaper for all sorts of other things – furniture, books, frames. But on a wall? That’s new. It’s no...
Chalkboard paint, gold and a little shimmer. A few of my fave things Last night I introduced you to a new regular DIY post with a twist – two different bloggers on opposite sides of the world g...
A few months ago when I posted about my painted cork-tile pinboard, at the same time, on the other side of the world in New York, a woman I didn’t know posted a tutorial and images of her own p...
Dolphin watching at Nelson Bay These past few months I’ve been thinking a lot about what home means. Is it just where you ARE at that very moment? Is it where your family is? Is it in a space y...
Today is a special Sunday post because I’m part of an online book tour for a lovely lady named Tania McCartney (who you might remember from the Handmade Living book tour). Tania is an editor, p...
Last Saturday I enjoyed three blissful hours getting crafty with not one single child hanging off me or demanding food every 25 seconds. I don’t normally attend events – they’re alw...
To share the sugar around, we thought Zak could play the Easter Bunny at school tomorrow and give all his little classmates an easter egg. We like to share the holidays – he gave each classmate...
My moodboard from the Blogging Your Way course I took a couple of years ago. It’s now my Facebook page header. And is incredibly blurry. Roll on Monday when I get my old (newly fixed) computer ...
Some pretties from Love JK Sometimes I think kids companies take the easy way out. They know dinosaurs, fairies, cars and deers are going to be a hit, so they saturate every product in their range wi...
Stanley Copper Pendant by BTC Original, from $599.50 – also available in brass. Love the warmth of the copper in this cooler kitchen I want to sell off all my kitchenware/crockery/linen and dec...
UNSTYLED: Gwyneth at home in London on Rachael Ray, in night-time light (such a photography no-no) with clothes casually flung around the room and all. PS: Love the pendant lights! It’s only be...
Before we know it a great big bunny will be hopping through the house hiding chocolate eggs. I wish I could say there was more to Easter than that, but in my world, that’s about it. To be fair,...
I often try to “pretty” up my basics. I like embossed white towels with fringing, wooden egg cups, pretty aprons, stylish chopping boards and simple white linen with a subtle waffle-weave...
MY teeny tiny little Immy tuned one on Thursday. Born on International Women’s Day, this little lady is most definitely going to be of the strong variety of women: she’s loud, opinionated...
My poor desk has been sitting there covered in papers and bills (ugh) for way too long. It needed something to make it look a little bit more inspirational than it did so I would actually want to sit...
On Friday I dropped Zak at school, dropped Layla at my sister’s house and dropped a keen Immy into her Baby Bjorn where she spent the next few hours pointing and gaga-ing over all the pretty ki...
Poor Immy. Room is a complete overstatement. She has a cot and now a few things stuck above it on the wall. In fact, the bigger she grows, the less space she has to call her own! The cradle has been ...
Red glitter hearts – must be Valentine’s Day! Coincidentally, I bought the clay and the fabric paint and didn’t realise until I’d got home that both were glittery. Even though...
Ohh the mysterious goodies in the bag are… heart-shaped chocolates. Melted down Cadbury choc block poured into a silicone ice cube tray and topped with sprinkles. Super-simple and super-delicio...
I’m sorry – I’ve been AWOL. Despite not actually blogging, I’ve done nothing but think about it lately – writing endless lists of ideas, projects and ways to take it to ...
Australia-shaped ANZAC biscuit with Tasmania (just for you Jane)… Last night I whipped up a batch of ANZAC biscuits for tomorrow’s Australia Day. There are 3 left… They’re goo...
Staying in: Colour-your-own Australia puzzle This would work well if you printed the map onto magnetic-backed paper (from craft stores). Then it could be a magnetic puzzle. Double the fun! Aussie Day...
Louis Armstrong Told Us So print, from $16. Would look so awesome huge on a wall I stumbled on the works of Bianca Green while looking for prints of another artist and fell in love. I think you all k...
A number chart stamped with the fruits and colours from The Very Hungry Caterpillar. The little caterpillar is their fingerprints. Hello – I hope you’re feeling better than I am. I’...
Layla’s heart art The other day, I let Layla loose with a bunch of heart stickers (from Knot & Bow). She randomly stuck them on a page in her scrapbook and when she proudly showed me the re...
Ok find of the year might be a big call but I am SO EXCITED about these finally coming to Australia. I was thisclose to getting some from the UK via eBay for Zak for Christmas, but then thought he ha...
Layla’s dream(s) come true: she got to meet Minnie and Micky AND go onstage. Score. Today I managed to survive a 2-hour musical show with a reluctant five-year-old who hates people dressed up a...
Read this issue on your iPad. This house on the cover perfects Australia’s love of indoor/outdoor living. I didn’t get to post on Sunday in the end. I really must stop promising things! B...
I don’t normally post on a Saturday, but we’ll all have to get over this out-of-characterness because I’ll be posting on Sunday too (one week only, folks!). But I didn’t want ...
Melted crayon artwork – I know. It’s hardly original but not everyone is on Pinterest!!! For a while now, I’ve been doing some crafts for Kidspot - Christmas, Easter, kids birthdays...
