WE HAVE MOVED!

Coming soon

Things have been pretty quiet around here recently as I finalize the new blog layout and import over to the new URL. Just thought I'd check in and let you know I'm still alive. The site should be...

Sunday Sessions: 06.01.13

LINE ONE: I am completely in lust with these unique and contemporary lamps from Vertigo Bird. I would hazard a guess that I probably would have to give up eating for a while to afford one, but that...

A collection of 2012 Favourites

While I am working on the impending blog makeover and re-design, I have been looking over the things that have inspired me over the last year. I don't always pin everything I see, but I certainly...

kittenbear Highlights from 2012

This time of year it seems almost obligatory for blogs to recap over the previous year's best posts. Especially when a blog posts numerous times a week, it is easy to forget all of the great things...

2013

At the end of 2011, after months of hard work things were looking up. I had just been given a major promotion at work, I was finally making some headway paying of my credit card and I felt like I...

oh Etsy: 26.12.12

New Years Eve is a night I always want to feel a little more special than a usual night out, and that inevitably leads me to glitter and gold. This time of year I start trawling the shops for...

We Wish you a...

Christmas day is always a little bittersweet for me. I think I love the lead up to Christmas more than the day itself. The day is wonderful but it is always over so quickly! I love the season, the...

Under the Tree

When I was about 20, I created a a Christmas tradition for myself. Every year a couple of days before Christmas, I sit in the airconditioning (because, Hoo Boy! Is it toasty this time of year!) and...

GIVEAWAY: Frankie Gift Paper Book

If there’s one thing I love about the blogging community, it is that everyone seems to love gift wrapping as much as I do! People don’t seem to understand my fascination, but I just love making a...

Sunday Sessions: 23.12.12

Last chance to share some Christmasy links before the actual day. I always wish that the end of the year wasn't so busy so that I could try out more of these projects myself... LINE ONE: Loving...

Oh Etsy: 22.12.12

A Etsy gift guide for that person who hasn't been so good this year. Maybe it's your little sister who steals your clothes. Maybe it's your neighbor who lets their dog poop in your yard. Perhaps...

Drifter and the Gypsy: Tassel Garland

Hey guys! Exciting news! I am very excited to announce I am the new DIY Craft contributor to the amazing blog Drifter and the Gyspy! From now on I'm very happy to be contributing a monthly craft...

White Christmas Cake

White Christmas's are not really something we have in Australia. Christmas day falls in the middle of Summer, so usually our Christmas day involves a lot of seafood, swimming and relaxing in the...

Almost There...

[ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 ] Hey you guys, it's almost Christmas! My December of Christmas adventures hasn't really gone according to plan. As always seems to be the way when I'm feeling extra inspired, I...

Blogshop Sydney

So things have been a little quiet around here the last few days (okay, more like the last week), but I have the best of reasons for my absence: Imagine a beautiful studio, two of the most...

Oh Etsy: 05.12.12

Boys are notoriously difficult to shop for. There's only so many times you can buy computer games or sports paraphernalia before it starts getting old. You want to add a touch of sophistication to...

Fabric Gift Wrap

Ever since I went to Japan, I've been obsessing over fabric wraps, in particular, for gift wrapping. There are so many different ways to gift wrap presents, but fabric wraps still seems to be one...

Pirates & Zombies!

If you were to ask me to name my favourite Australian illustrator, (and what a great question, thank you for asking!) the answer would without reservation be Lauren Carney. My love for Lauren’s...

Recipe: Icecream Sandwiches

Summer and I aren’t on speaking terms right now. No, ‘Summer’ isn’t my friend named similarly to that of Zooey Deschanel in a certain movie; I’m talking about the actual season. Summer is a bitch....

Oh Etsy: 28.11.12

I was going to start the count down to Christmas with this week's Oh Etsy post, but somehow I ended up spending a couple of hours drooling over beautiful linen and canvas inspiration. So classic...

DIY Animal Jars

Growing up, we were always encouraged to make homemade gifts instead of spending lots money. As a child I was never able to think of something that I could make that could compare, in my young mind...

Sunday Session: 25.11.12

LINE ONE: There's something so whimsical and serene about a room full of balloons! Dancer and choreographer William Forsythe has traveled with his audio/visual installation Scattered Crowd in which...

Christmas Gift Swap

[ one / two / three / four ] Today is your last chance to sign up for the Christmas Gift Swap! If you would like to take part, drop me an email me (kittnbear@gmail.com) with your Full Name, Postal...

Oreo Cookie Crumble

I have a confession to make. I gave this recipe a fancy name so that it would sound more impressive. It's actually the easiest thing in the world (but your dinner guests don't need to know that!)...

Oh Etsy: 21.11.12

Sometimes the smallest gifts are the hardest to buy. As much as I love taking part in office Secret Santa type gift exchanges, I always find it daunting trying to find a great gift within the low...

5 Things I Learnt About: Buying the Perfect Gift

[Image Via: Paper n Stitch] With Christmas just around the corner (and maybe some office Secret Santa's or Gift Swaps to start shopping for) I thought I'd share some tips that I have learnt for...

Sunday Sessions: 18.11.12

LINE ONE: Oh how I wish this place had been open when we were in Japan last year! Omote 3D allow you to create a perfect 3D printed figurine of yourself! How awesome! LINE TWO: Wow! Seriously, WOW!...

Christmas Gift Swap

Where has the year gone you guys? It seems like just yesterday that we were talking about Easter and now it is almost Christmas! Which is kind of awesome because, I don’t know about you, but I am...

Lemon Loaf

Everybody loves miniature things, but no one more so than my boyfriend. If something comes in miniature form, he’s bound to love it, so I guess I shouldn’t have been surprised when he came home one...
