Social Media Secret Santa
This year I took part in the Social Media Secrat Santa organised by the lovely Chantelle of Fat Mum Slim {details here}. I sent off this little pack of goodies to BellaMumma (she liked them, yay!) And I recieved this AWESOME pack of stationery goodies from Sarah of Ah The Possibilities. It was a lot [...]
DIY Handmade Salt Dough Christmas Ornaments
On Christmas Eve I tried my hand at some salt dough ornaments, inspired by this picture on Pinterest. Suffice to say, mine didn’t turn out as nice as that! They are still cute though. You only need 3 ingredients, salt, plain flour and warm water. Mix them all together to make a dough, roll it [...]
My First Christmas Ginger(Vanilla)bread House
Last week I went to a new friend’s house (Rachel – Orange Whisk) with some other lovely handmade friends (Stacey – Cheeky Textiles & Jenny – Posie Patchwork) for a Gingerbread house decorating party! I’ve never done a gingerbread house before, because I really dislike Gingerbread. Luckily for me though, Rachel was kind enough to [...]

Our Christmas Tree! 2011
This year I cut down my own tree! And it’s AMAZING, even if I say so myself =) I went to Christmas Tree Keng, a property out past the Tulip Farm on the Highway to Sydney that grow radiata pines specifically for Christmas! They hand prune their trees to be the perfect shape, and you [...]
Christmas Wrapping & Decorations 2010
It’s Christmas Eve! We’ve just finished up Christmas #1, which I’ll post about later, but for now I’d like to share a few of our Chrissy decorations and also how I’ve wrapped some of my presents. I wanted to be a little bit creative with wrapping this year (though, as with most things, I got [...]
Handmade Christmas Cookie Gifts
The other day I tried my hand at baking some Christmas cookies to give as gifts this year, and I must say they turned out pretty cute! I just used a simple butter biscuit/cookie recipe and cut out circles and star shapes using standard cookie cutters. My initial idea was to create little Christmas trees [...]

Hello!
I'm Mikaela, 27, married to a spunk, muma to a bubba boy, and a busy little bee (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 =)
