It’s been an eventful fortnight. Covid cases in Sydney have skyrocketed, lockdown was extended for another 4 weeks and there were protests in the city. The army has been called in to help police lockdown. People are lonely, stressed, tired and strung out. So a message of hope seemed fitting as we head into a
Aaaaaand we’re in lockdown again. 🙁 It was only a matter of time I guess. Compared to the rest of the world, we’ve been lucky enough to spend the last 6 months living in relative freedom so I can’t complain. I just hope this 2 week circuit breaker is enough to stop the latest outbreak
Oh hey there June. Can you believe it’s already the middle of the year? We’ve got a busy one ahead of us with Lauren’s birthday today, a short getaway next week and hubby changing jobs soon. It’s all systems go and we’ve just gotten over a huge round of sickness (not covid). So here’s hoping
The weather’s turning, the leaves are falling off the trees and the days are getting cooler. Winter is coming! So I thought I’d draw something pretty and floral to remind me of all our blue sky summer days while we rug up for the cold season. It’s also Mother’s Day soon, and what better way
Happy Easter long weekend! It’s been quite the month, what with Mum’s recovery from brain surgery, my mother-in-law’s surgery (both mums had operations in the same week) and Lauren being sick on-and-off all the time. So I guess you could say I’m really looking forward to the 4-day break. Fingers crossed Lauren stays well and
Hello March. This month is off to a rocky start with my mum going in for surgery this weekend. It’s not a big surgery, but it’s on her brain, which is always scary. I wish there was more that I could do to help, but for now it’s a waiting game until the procedure takes
February already, can you believe it? We’re well into the swing of things with work and daycare over here, and sadly also Lauren’s medical appointments. I really didn’t want her to have to undergo more tests this year, but we’ve already had one HARD blood test (how do you explain these things to a 3
Happy new year and oh thank goodness we made it to 2021! To be honest, with a spike in covid cases and new restrictions in Sydney, the start of this year feels much like 2020. 🙁 But I’m hopeful for better days ahead! We had a quiet Christmas and an almost non-existent new year’s eve
And just like that, we’ve reached the end of the year. When the pandemic hit in March, I would have sworn up and down that it’d be the SLOWEST crawl to December. And while some days definitely dragged on, somehow the time still sped by surprisingly fast and now here we are. It’s a strange
November is always a tricky month for me wallpaper-wise because I want to draw all things Christmas, but not everyone’s as keen for the festive season as I am (yes I’m one of those people who’s ready to pull out the tinsel in September). So here’s something pretty to tide us all over until it’s
I’ve got some newwwwwws. For the past month, I’ve been working behind the scenes to turn your favourite illustrations into invitations and greeting cards for Greenvelope! I now have a range of designs that you can send to your friends and family as holiday greetings or invitations for your next big (covid-safe) bash. Best of
