DIY Vintage Mirror Repair & Makeover

By Mikaela ⋅ January 2, 2011 ⋅ 2 comments

My Nandy gave me a decorative gold framed oval mirror almost 10 years ago, and at my 18th Birthday party (8 years ago) it got knocked off my wall and the frame broke into 4 pieces. It has been broken ever since… until today =) Luckily when it fell from the wall the mirror stayed [...]

Best Handmade Market ever & a High Tea!

By Mikaela ⋅ December 12, 2010 ⋅ 5 comments

Last weekend was the Christmas Handmade Market, which just quietly, I thought was going to be a disaster. With torrential rain in Canberra the whole week leading up to Saturday, I thought we would all be huddled under our gazebos shielding our wares from the splashes, while all our customers stayed safely at home out [...]

By Mikaela ⋅ December 7, 2010 ⋅ 19 comments

I’m taking part in Jess’ Creative Oddessy Blog Hop this month, and today I’m sharing the stage with Stephey of Marked by the Muse. Funnily enough, my dreams for the handmade arm of my little business next year is to follow quite similarly what Jess has accomplished with Epheriell this year. I read her free [...]

Fash ‘n’ Treasure Market recap

This Saturday past I set up a stall at the Fash ‘n’ Treasure Market selling my Juno jewellery range, and launched my new summer collection which features some cute Bamboo Birdy and Sakura pieces.

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 =)
