Next Project: Quilt Design

By Mikaela ⋅ April 12, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

Over the weekend I drew up a design for the quilt I want to make… I’m not 100% sure about it yet, but you get the general idea… Feel free to leave me a suggestion if you have any ideas =) Below are the fabrics I’m using – pretty!

Alphabet Wall Art

By Mikaela ⋅ April 10, 2010 ⋅ 4 comments

I had a spare frame the other day that I was wondering what to do with. I’ve been seeing a lot of DIY wall art lately, and since I’m teaching a lot of Typography at the moment, I decided to try my hand at some Alphabet Wall Art. It’s far from perfect, but being the [...]

More Markets

By Mikaela ⋅ April 7, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve now arranged to have an interview to show my products for the Old Bus Depot Markets in Kingston, next Thursday morning. The OBDM are on every Sunday, so not such a massive event like Canberra Handmade Market (only on 4 times a year), but having a stall there is also quite a bit cheaper. [...]

DIY Chair Cover

They were really good quality and super comfy, but I wanted to upgrade to a bigger couch, so we recently passed the double seater [...]

Hello!

I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and busy (mostly by choice, I suck at relaxing). 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?). I'm a freelance designer, high school & uni teacher, and I'm working towards my dream house one DIY at a time, along with numerous other side-ventures... For more about me, go to the about page =)
