I’ve probably left this a little bit late to post about because I have a memory like a sieve and only a week after returning from our holiday, I can’t remember which day we did what on. Hopeless! All I know is, Caloundra is a beautiful place, and a helluva lot warmer than chilly Canberra! [...]
We’ve had a lovely few days, which I will post about in detail once we get home and I can get all my photos together.. Today we were down in surfers paradise at seaworld, and this is an iPhone pic on our way home of the sunset, very pretty!
We’re up in QLD! Staying in beautiful Caloundra. It’s lovely and sunny and warm, but a bit windy at the moment. We have the laptop but no Internet, so anything I post this week will be from my iPhone. Please excuse any errors and brief posts! The photo is out the back door of the [...]
The drive up to Sydney was uneventful, whenever JA drives I pretty much just fall asleep, which can make him tired too but he’s a trooper and got us there in one piece =) We checked in to the hotel on King Street (not fancy pants but really great location, we were a 20 minute [...]
We have a pretty full weekend planned this week, starting tomorrow (Friday!) with a road trip to Sydney for our good friends’ wedding. This wedding is going to be fabulous and amazing, Beck has excellent taste, and she’s chosen to have a formal wedding on a pier on Darling Harbour and then the reception at [...]
Our coast trip was lovely =) A little bit stressful at times, having to keep a close eye on Harley at the beach as she is on heat at the moment, but for the most part it was really nice and relaxing. I did lots of painting for my handmade goodies (which I will post [...]
As I said yesterday, today’s jobs included painting the black bookshelf, painting the wooden bookshelf, and ripping up the hallway carpets and start counter-sinking nails. Well I’ve done 2 coats of the black bookshelf, I’ll do the last coat tomorrow morning. And I managed to rip up the hallway carpet and underlay and get half [...]
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 [...]
