My Vegetable Garden – Part 1

By Mikaela ⋅ April 8, 2012 ⋅ 2 comments

Today I *finally* got the structure started for our Vege Garden! I feel a big sense of achievement here, because the area has been sitting there getting more jungley by the day, for about 2 years now… And today I managed to weed it, move a wood sleeper to create the fourth wall base, put [...]

{Link Love} Birthdays

By Mikaela ⋅ February 2, 2012 ⋅ 3 comments

February is Birthday Bonanza month over at Creative Collective, and this week the girls are asking: Do you have any family traditions? Do you have a favorite birthday that stands out in your mind? Do you have any birthday horror stories? Are you planning any big birthdays this year? I like to stretch my own [...]

I made scones and brownies, and put out Tim-Tams and Shortbread Creams, and had about 10 different varieties of Tea to choose from. We sat and chatted and played with the babies (Beck [...]

Day 2: “Breakfast”

My First Christmas Ginger(Vanilla)bread House

By Mikaela ⋅ December 23, 2011 ⋅ One comment

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 [...]

{DIY} Baby Shower Jungle Cake

By Mikaela ⋅ December 4, 2011 ⋅ One comment

For Katie’s baby shower back in September I decorated a cake to match her Jungle Animals theme, it was lots of fun and I LOVE how it turned out! I’ve come to realise I’m definitely more of a decorator than a baker, so I bought a chocolate mud cake from The Cheesecake Shop and decorated [...]

My week in Instagram Photos #1

By Mikaela ⋅ July 5, 2011 ⋅ Post a comment

Until I get back into the swing of blogging regularly (can’t WAIT until my Mat leave starts!), I’m going to be doing a few of these “my day/weekend/week in Instagram photos” posts. But who doesn’t love the uber trendy Instagram trend anyway? (if you want to follow me I’m mikaela_d) So it looks like I’ve [...]

Loving Weekends

Some piccies from Instagram of my weekend, I hope you all had a good one too! =)

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 =)
