A place to record my crafting adventures

We have just come back from an idyllic holiday up on the NSW north coast. It was so great to hang with the family and we quickly settled into the routine of beach and pool swimming. For us, a holiday at the end of January is the perfect way to regroup, recover from Christmas and [...]

At the beginning of the school holidays Maddie attended a craft workshop at Art Spark and for the last few weeks has been asking when she can learn to knit. I’m not overly convinced I am up to take on the ‘knitting teacher’ role just yet so thought we should start off with something a [...]

We have escaped to the beach for a week. My Mum and Dad have joined us. Victoria has a stunning coastline, rugged, lush and full of hidden surprises. Our daily visitor.

The family calls it ‘The Shed’ but it’s really a very large stable, packed to the brim with horse stuff, collected stuff and very old stuff. Before my Pa retired he was a horse trainer and as kids we spent many a holiday in the shed. I have so many good memories of that place [...]
