New Handmade Projects

By Mikaela ⋅ June 27, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I’ve created my first blossom clock, featuring the Yuzen paper with a resin coating, and also a cute little Kimono doll which I made for Katie’s birthday present. My [...]

Laundry Update

By Mikaela ⋅ June 20, 2010 ⋅ 3 comments

I broke my promise. In my last post mentioning my laundry makeover, I promised I wouldn’t spend over $100. I blame Bunnings. Legitimately! I had everything in my shopping trolley, and it all added up to $85. That gave me $15 to purchase the mat for the floor, and it would be $100 even, and [...]

After eyeing off the ASOS dress for so long over the weekend, I felt I had to go shopping today after work. I had an actual need for a long sleeved plain top, but a more superficial need to just get some retail therapy. So out to DFO I trekked, and came home with a [...]

What a productive long weekend!

This June long weekend came as welcome surprise to me, and I’m very happy to say I did lots of relaxing but also lots of little projects too! Firstly, just a couple of jobs around the house I’ve been meaning to do for a long time… The floating shelves in our bedroom were totally wonky [...]

Next see these awful images of animals stuck in the goop: www.boston.com. Feeling helpless yet? I know I am. Here a couple of places to can go to [...]

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 =)
