Hi. It’s been a while. I haven’t posted here for nearly two years and I’m not even sure where to start… We’ve been in China almost three years now. Guangzhou is home. I don’t miss Australia as much as I used to but I think that is just because living here has become normal. It’s… Read More
I’ll be honest – I’m putting together this post for myself! I’ve totally fallen out of my creative habits and I want to give myself a push to get back into it. A lot of people think (and I used to think!) that creativity had to be spontaneous, off the cuff, random. I’ve realised… Read More
I NEED YOU. Well, to be precise, the cute newborn babies in the NICU at the Northern Hospital in Melbourne need you. My Mum works for Ronald McDonald House at the Northern Hospital in Epping, Melbourne. She looks after the family room there, where families can relax and spend time together while caring… Read More
The girls from Modern Makers have just launched an awesome cushion making extravaganza and of course I’m ALL IN. I love cushions – making them, admiring them, sitting on them and most importantly, using them to rest my ipad on while watching Netflix in bed. For my entry I decided to try a project I’ve… Read More
I haven’t done one of these posts in ages! It’s always a fun way to get a quick snapshot into what’s happening. Life in China has been so fast paced – I cannot believed we’ve been here for over 4 months now. I’m not sewing and blogging as much as I’d like, but I’m slowly… Read More

I had plans for some more blog posts for 2015. Then someone broke into our house on Wednesday evening (while we were at home!!) and stole my MacBook Pro, which is the laptop I use for EVERYTHING, especially my blogging activities. Awful, frustrating, disappointing, scary – but the most important thing is that no one… Read More
I’ve been keeping a huge secret and I’m SO RELIEVED to able to finally share it with you! In a few months, my family and I will be saying goodbye to Australia and moving overseas. We are moving to Guangzhou, China. Not many people know Guangzhou – it was formerly known as Canton, and it is… Read More
In partnership with Brother Australia To celebrate the famous Spring Racing Carnival in Melbourne, Brother Australia asked me to create a tutorial that was racing related. Once I came across Melody Miller’s Mustang fabric from Cotton + Steel, I knew exactly what I would make as it is the perfect fabric for a horse racing… Read More
Pink craft supplies…I have a lot. I’m very drawn to pink when I buy fabric as well, strange given that I don’t choose pink as a favourite colour for clothes or flowers or anything else! Here are some great links that I think you’ll enjoy this week. Having a stressful week? Read this. It will… Read More
