Every day of this week I’ve wanted to post about something, but have just been flat out! I want to follow up on my Study re-organisation, but haven’t taken the “after” photos yet, as it’s been getting dark before I get home… I’ve also hit the study with a handmaking bombshell getting ready for the [...]
So that to-do list I wrote on Friday? Yeah, didn’t actually do one thing on it. I did however go to gorgeous Heidi’s 1st Birthday and it was cute-o-rama. One of the most beautiful babies I know. It does help that her parents are total hotties. This was the little gift we gave her, a [...]
Canberra Autumn yields fantastic clear days, albeit freezing like today (-1 last night). This was taken on the Million Paws Walk last weekend =)
This weekend was full of fun and goodness and chaos and bedlam. But so good! Friday night we went to tacos (as usual) at JA’s parents place. Erin came down from Newcastle for the weekend so she was there, as well as Katie and her boyfriend Pete. It was nice to hang out with everyone, [...]
To celebrate Sophie’s (Chloé’s mum) birthday and also wish Clo and Scott Bon Voyage (for their big trip to Europe, exciting!), we had a lovely gathering of friends and family this evening at Sophie’s house (Soph is a gardener and it shows, I am so envious of her beautiful garden). JA and I were so [...]
Since the cold weather is just starting to settle in (7C degrees last night, I felt it!) I decided to give the site a little makeover. Looks more wintery now, no? I’ve also changed the structure so you can read 3 full posts on the front page, instead of snippets. I like this better when [...]
It was our first wedding anniversary this Saturday past, and it was great =) We went to see Alice in Wonderland at Dendy Premium lounge (Premium lounge is awesome, movie was just good, left me feeling unfulfilled unfortunately) then went to Mezzalira Restaurant for a fancy dinner, which was really nice. And afterward went to [...]
The title is a bit misleading… What I’m actually doing is getting my digital life sorted, which is no mean feat. I spend approximately, hm, lets say 5 hours a day on the computer. About 8 on a “design work” day. Which for some people is probably not much, but that’s outside of my day [...]
I’ve been a busy little beaver recently! Lots going on, but nothing quite finished enough to dedicate a post to, so here’s the wrap up: Last weekend we went to the coast with my parents, which was really great, it was raining and miserable in Canberra but absolutely gorgeous at Jervis Bay. We went to [...]
Do you donate to charities or fundraisers? If so, how do you decide who to donate to, and how much? If not, what are your reasons? Personally I always feel that because I don’t do any volunteer work, it’s my duty to donate to various charities regularly. Well, it’s been only rarely lately, so I [...]
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 [...]
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 [...]
