Today was Fash ‘n’ Treasure market day, out at Kingston. After getting everything ready last night (including ironing my table covers til midnight) I got up this morning and packed the car in the rain, drove to Kingston in the down-pour, then unpacked all my stuff whilst the sky dumped buckets of water down upon [...]
I picked up this old easel/chalkboard at Aussie Junk in Mitchell a few weeks ago along with a few other trays and things for a whopping $15. There were some masonite boards screwed to the front and back, and I was planning to use it as a stand for my market signage. But beneath them [...]
I’ll be selling my Juno Jewellery range at the Fash’n’Treasure markets in September! Check out more details at www.FashnTreasure.com.au, I think it will be a really fun event! What is Fash ‘n’ Treasure? Fash ‘n’ Treasure is Canberra’s one and only fashion event, bringing together local wardrobes, fashion designers, fashion shops, milliners and stylists. Held [...]
This weekend past I trekked up to Sydney to hold a stall at the Mathilda’s Markets in Lane Cove. It was such a lovely day outside! We were set up in the gym at St Ignacious College, which was a great location and had big crowds of people come through. Successful day for me? Well, [...]
Leading up to having a stall at the Mathilda’s Markets in Sydney on the 8th August, as well as making stock for the Shop Handmade Canberra, I’m a busy little bee over the next 2 weeks! I managed to photograph and upload these pretty things to the store tonight though, let me know which you [...]
I’ve been working on a few ideas for Japanese inspired items to take to the next handmade markets along with my Yuzen Paper magnets and badges. I’ve created my first blossom clock, featuring the Yuzen paper with a resin coating, and also a cute little Kimono doll which I made for Katie’s birthday present. My [...]
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 [...]
I’ve now arranged to have an interview to show my products for the Old Bus Depot Markets in Kingston, next Thursday morning. The OBDM are on every Sunday, so not such a massive event like Canberra Handmade Market (only on 4 times a year), but having a stall there is also quite a bit cheaper. [...]
We had a lovely day today at the Canberra Handmade Markets at Kamberra Wine Company, thank you to every one who came by and said hello! My mum and husband were amazing and stayed with me for a few hours each, and my dad came by and helped us put up our umbrella in the [...]

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 [...]
