Because JA’s family is American, every year we have a big thanksgiving dinner at his mom’s house. For Aussies out there who don’t know what it’s about, it’s basically a celebration of the Native American’s saving the pilgrims from starvation by teaching them how to grow stuff to eat. So it’s like Christmas, with heaps [...]
Husband sent me an amazing link the other day. Gizmodo held a shooting challenge the other week to create an image using slow shutter speed. Usually what you think of when hearing slow shutter speed is a bunch of car light trails or some people jumping around with LED’s… but some of the entries in [...]
A couple of weeks ago I ordered a fabric swatch from Spoonflower (I believe I talked about it in this post about my other handmade items), and it arrived today! The image I sent in was only a quick mockup of the actual design, but I’m pretty impresed by the quality, it’s very close to [...]
I’ve just completed a cute little design ready for the holiday season, which I would love to share with you all! This design is based on the layout of the Halloween gift cards I was giving away last month, but I wanted to use colours that aren’t typically “Christmas-y”, and I was inspired by the [...]
On Friday I went up to Sydney with some girlfriends to see Britney Spears for JA’s sister’s birthday. Verdict: Going to a show when she was in her prime probably would have been amazing. I’m not really a fan, but I figured it would be a good show with pretty lights… which it was. The [...]

Welcome to my little corner of the blogosphere. I'm Mikaela, I am female, 25, married, and busy by choice. I love life and have too many ideas in my head, and wish there were more hours in the day (I'm sure old people always said that when I was growing up). I live in and love Canberra, Australia (2 hours to beach or snow, what more could you ask for?). For more about who I am and what I do, go to the about page =)
We had giant hamburgers for dinner. Bun, tomato sauce, mustard, cheese, hot chilli meat pattie, more cheese, pineapple, beetroot, tomato, lettuce, avocado, bun. YUM. Giant! I had two. See my last post about always eating too much.
Yesterday I was in Coles and saw this yummo looking Italian bread which inspired me to make Bruschetta as an entreé to dinner last night. I forgot to get Olive Oil when I was there so had to improvise with peanut oil, but it wasn’t too bad. I buttered the bread (no oil, remember?), spread [...]
This is a recipe I sort of made up about 4 years ago. I think it’s probably based on something I had once and I just tried to remember the ingredients when putting it together. I’ve got it down to a fine art now, everyone loves this salad. It goes perfectly with snags and steak [...]
Before going to the coast last week I made 2 ribbon organiser boxes. One turned out really well, the other not so much. Here is the latter, made from an old tissue box. The reason I don’t like the end result is because the tissue box was too flimsy to begin with, the walls went [...]
As promised, here are Girds’ and Harley’s new doggie beds! The reason I decided to make these is because their current beds are lumpy, big oofy pillows, with blankets on top. They take up far too much room in our bedroom, aren’t very portable, and are hard to wash. These beds, however, are the opposite [...]
Yesterday and today were spent putting my house back together, so I haven’t had a chance to complete the DIY projects I wanted to do today to show here. Hopefully I can finish the doggie beds tonight as well as at least start on my ribbon organiser… We’ll see how I go, I still have [...]
