Oh, hello there. Have you been missing my daily posts at all? I will be back in the blog swing of things soon! My days have been filled lots of new things - working, resting, getting a new home sched...
I actually sat down at my sewing machine late last week and whipped myself up a new lunch bag. It came together quickly and I also made good use of some cute apple fabric that I've had hiding in...
Bella and I hopped into the car early this morning for an appointment and afterwards we hit the eastern shore to visit The Aproneers, a new concept food store that opened today in Lindisfarne. The Ap...
I've only recently discovered the joy of doubling my evening meal for left overs the following night. I know. Where have I been? I can't believe I didn't catch onto this whole doubling...
My Mother's day went a little something like this: 8am wake up with two happy smiling faces, cuddles, handmade card and gift. Home made pancakes for breakfast, cooked by the littlest in the fami...
Yesterday I treated myself to a $12 bunch of carnations, then came home and set them up on our kitchen table, threw on a pretty tablecloth, baked a lemon meringue pie (the second this week!) and admi...
Yesterday I made lemon meringue pie and a double batch of honey cookies. A few of you have asked for the honey cookie recipe, so here we go.... Ingredients: 90 grams butter 1/2 cup sugar 155 grams se...
We had a family day out on Friday, leaving home super early and driving to the north of state to visit Agfest. There was lots to see - farm equipment, animals, local produce, caravans, craft and a mo...
I've been a bit naughty keeping my Project Life album up to date lately. Actually I've been very naughty - when I pulled out the album a few days ago I had only completed up to week 8, whic...
This is how I store my needlepoint threads: Pretty cute hey?! I've had a packet of wooden dolly pegs in the cupboard for a while now but only had the brain wave to use them for my wool thread la...
I've been making a nice little dent in my needlepoint project over the weekend. It's pretty slow going but I'm pleased with my progress so far. This week I must stock up on a few more ...
Yesterday afternoon I called into the local DVD store and picked up two movies, came home and made apple pie and then pulled out my tapestry from the cupboard ready for some evening craft time. I put...
A delicious coffee cake recipe for you! This is a favourite and the original recipe came from my Mum's handwritten cook book. Ingredients: 120 grams butter 3/4 cup sugar 2 eggs 1 tablespoon of c...
Remember those delightful crochet hot water bottle covers that arrived in my mailbox for our caravan? Well, it was finally cold enough to give them a whirl on our last camping trip. Normally the cold...
One of my lovely Aunties offered me a big bag of squares a couple of weeks back, that had all been knitted by my Grandma several years ago. I think I may have let out a mini squeal when she asked if ...

Remember the Easter swap that I took part in? I know that I still need to share the beautiful goodies that I received with you, but today I'm posting about a cute swap that I did with the same ...
Remember my granny stripe that I'm working on for the caravan? Our Easter caravan trip didn't bring much granny stripe action, so I've been hooking away these last couple of nights an...
{Pure camping joy - Bella with her cousin Bonnie} Some of my fondest childhood memories were created on our family camping trips to the beach. Every summer we would pack up the caravan and head off ...
We're just home from three fun filled days of Easter camping. There was chocolate, good food, lots of company and board games too, but let me tell you there was also a whole lot of rain of mud!...
You girls rock! Thank you so much for all those lovely suggestions the other day when I put out my S.O.S. to hide our messy caravan shelf. I loved the idea of doing matching fabric baskets all the wa...
I'm not particularly a magazine kinda girl - I have a Real Living subscription and Mr Goodsell has one to Australasian Dirt Bike magazine, but that's it. Usually I don't even look at ...
Now that my final coat of yellow paint is on, I'm super happy with that teensy splash of colour - much prettier than the raw pine that showed before. It was tempting to keep going on that tiny ...
After the Valentine's swap that I took part in with some lovely friends, it was decided that we would follow up with an Easter swap. We kept the same format as last time: something for Blythe s...
Ta-da! I finished the starburst cushion and posted it off, just in time for my swap deadline. It looks rather fancy on my couch though, don't you think? I would have secretly quite loved to kee...
After the groceries, cleaning up, washing, bill paying and dinner organising today, it was time to do a little bit more caravan sprucing up! I started with an inspiration board of sorts for Bella, j...
I went through a spate of cooking late this week. I seem to do that - no treat cooking for weeks and then I feel the urge to bake something nice for the family. Here's what I cooked on Friday: ...
The other day I was pottering around Ravelry and spied a few cool projects created from a 1981 Better Homes and Gardens book, Crocheting & Knitting. A quick google search pointed me in the direc...
Just popping in quickly this evening to link up some of my older Easter craft tutorials for Easter, incase you're after something fun to make for next weekend. Eek, I know - it's so close!...
