I picked up this old easel/chalkboard at Aussie Junk in Mitchell a few weeks ago along with a few other trays and things for a whopping $15. There were some masonite boards screwed to the front and back, and I was planning to use it as a stand for my market signage. But beneath them [...]
I’ll be selling my Juno Jewellery range at the Fash’n’Treasure markets in September!
Check out more details at www.FashnTreasure.com.au, I think it will be a really fun event!
What is Fash ‘n’ Treasure?
Fash ‘n’ Treasure is Canberra’s one and only fashion event, bringing together local wardrobes, fashion designers, fashion shops, milliners and stylists. Held every second month, [...]
These lovely Yuzen Magnets and resin coated square & Sakura Clocks will be dropped in to the Handmade Shop in Civic this week =)
The last two are based off my first clock with red blossoms, which I will be making more of soon (I think the red is just gorgeous on these, it really pops!), [...]
This weekend past I trekked up to Sydney to hold a stall at the Mathilda’s Markets in Lane Cove. It was such a lovely day outside!
We were set up in the gym at St Ignacious College, which was a great location and had big crowds of people come through. Successful day for me? Well, no. [...]
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 [...]
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. [...]
I’ve been working on a few ideas for Japanese inspired items to take to the next handmade markets along with my Yuzen Paper magnets and badges. 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 [...]
Over at the Mikaela Handmade store, go now: www.store.mikaela.com.au
These are my favourite things of anything I’ve made so far… So pretty!
More to come soon =)
What makes me happy? An organised space to complete a DIY project. Which is NOT what I have at the moment… I really need to get cracking on getting things sorted around here. Because I have a new makeover project to do, which is going to be really fun*, but I want to get some [...]
Lost? Go back to the home page.
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 a [...]
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 [...]
