If there’s one thing I love about Christmas, it’s the warm, delicious fragrances that linger in the air as we bustle about preparing for the big day. Even though it’s the height of summer over here (I’m slurping down an Icy Pole as I type this), the smell of pine and mulled cider hit me […]
Although things have gotten a bit quiet here lately, there’s been a lot action of behind-the-scenes as I work on a brand new and very exciting project. It’s one I’ve dreamt of bringing to life for the better part of my creative career and I can’t wait to share it with you! This shift in […]
Someone please tell me how it’s almost the end of August? That can’t be right. The first cherry blossoms have bloomed in our backyard and the weather’s getting warmer every day… but surely it was the middle of winter only last week?!

While I’m a full-time mum, I’m pretty keen to save my pennies where I can because let’s face it – my income isn’t anything like what it used to be. But at the same time, I’m still drawn to new pieces of art that make my house look good. After all, I’m spending so much […]
