My current want/wish list

By ⋅ July 31, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I find it really hard to buy anything over $100 if it’s not part of a plan (ie room makeover) or a gift. But if I could shake this frugal thinking, these are the first things I would go out and buy: Roomba robot vacuum, would be great for my wooden floors that have doggie [...]

GIVEAWAY – Free Download: Kids Wrapping Paper

By ⋅ July 30, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’m working on my kids canvas paintings at the moment and have scanned some in to create smaller versions for paper button magnets and badges, so while I had them all in photoshop I decided to put them together to create a bright and fun kids wrapping paper print! By clicking the image below you [...]

New buttons in the Mikaela Handmade store

By ⋅ July 27, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Leading up to having a stall at the Mathilda’s Markets in Sydney on the 8th August, as well as making stock for the Shop Handmade Canberra, I’m a busy little bee over the next 2 weeks! I managed to photograph and upload these pretty things to the store tonight though, let me know which you [...]

Our QLD trip roundup

By ⋅ July 23, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

I’ve probably left this a little bit late to post about because I have a memory like a sieve and only a week after returning from our holiday, I can’t remember which day we did what on. Hopeless! All I know is, Caloundra is a beautiful place, and a helluva lot warmer than chilly Canberra! [...]

Entry Interior Design – finished

By ⋅ July 19, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Well, almost finished… nothing is ever “done” around here! A few days ago I realised I hadn’t posted an update on our entry hall room thinger after I first posted about it and we did the floors. So here it is! Live Love Laugh wall hangings were a wedding present, they’re available from home wares [...]

My first quilt!

By ⋅ July 18, 2010 ⋅ 2 comments

I’ve had a plan to make a quilt for a while now, and have even drawn up a design, but instead of just going ahead and making it without any knowledge of actually how to (like I do in a lot of projects), I attended my first quilting workshop at Hobby Sew in Belconnen today. [...]

Holiday Snaps

By ⋅ July 16, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

Brought to you by my trusty iPhone and Picasa We stayed in Caloundra, a beautiful little town in the Sunshine Coast (1 hr north of Brisbane), and were in walking distance to great restaurants and cafés, the grocery store, the Craft store (!) and most importantly the beach =) The legs pic was taken by [...]

On holidays #2

We’ve had a lovely few days, which I will post about in detail once we get home and I can get all my photos together.. Today we were down in surfers paradise at seaworld, and this is an iPhone pic on our way home of the sunset, very pretty!

On holidays #1

By ⋅ July 9, 2010 ⋅ Post a comment

We’re up in QLD! Staying in beautiful Caloundra. It’s lovely and sunny and warm, but a bit windy at the moment. We have the laptop but no Internet, so anything I post this week will be from my iPhone. Please excuse any errors and brief posts! The photo is out the back door of the [...]

Home Office Makeover – the “before”

By ⋅ July 5, 2010 ⋅ 7 comments

I am bad at maths. This is my disclaimer. For the past couple of weeks I’ve been getting a tad excited about planning our home extension, adding to our 2 bed, 1 study, 1 bathroom home: a new 2nd storey master bedroom with en suite + home office. I calculated that we would be able [...]
