I wanted quite simple placecards for the guests at our wedding, just simply a folded card with their name printed on it. I looked around everywhere online to find some pre-cut cards, but the prices were extraordinary! The cheapest I could find went for 70c a piece, and then I needed to buy more paper [...]
I am not known for my green thumb. Usually when I buy pot plants or they are given to me, they either get eaten up by doggies because I leave it too long to replant them into the garden, or I replant them and they die. For various reasons – lack of water, lack of sunshine, lack of air… it’s not like I’m smothering them with a pillow for goodness sake, what is wrong with these plants??
But all is not lost!
Continue reading to see how I managed to plant and raise a fantastic little garden of lovely bulbs and seeds.
I decided to sew the sashes for my bridesmaids and myself for my hens night in the party colour theme of blue and orange. It was a lot of fun, quite easy, they turned out brilliantly and were totally unique!

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 [...]
