Easter is in the air

Hello!  Welcome to my blog!  These past two weeks I have been…

Thinking about more repurposing ideas.   I found these cuties at an Op-shop, they were only 50c.  I have taken the old clip on the back off and will hot glue gun some stud bars in place.  Volia!  Cute, retro studs for me!

Yum, I have been wanting to make these Caramel Kisses for ages!  This is the second batch I have made in two weeks and they have been a huge hit!  If you cannot buy Arnott's Butternut Snap Cookies, look for cookies that have a buttery coconut base.  I found my recipe here.  Enjoy :)

Easter is in the air….well in Australia it has been since we packed away the christmas decorations!  I found these ultra cute easter decorations at my local Woolworths grocery store.   Easter has been slowly gaining a decorating following that it never has had before.   Bunnies, chocolate, thankfulness and family what's not to celebrate!

Have a glorious week,

thrifting is grand

Welcome!
Thrifting is one of my favourite things to do on a spare day.  I love hitting the op and charity shops, finding treasures and thinking of ways to repurpose items.  I feel like every time I do visit one of these shops I at least leave with one or two knick-knacks with me.  Below are some of my favourite finds and I think they describe a bit of my eclectic taste.  :)

When my nephews saw the cloud pillows I had made for my bed, they wanted me to make some for their beds.  They picked their own material and were keen to help with the stuffing.  When I saw them laying with their pillows on the couch I knew those pillows would be used to an inch of their lives!

Lionel & Bertie in the clouds with carrot cake?

Hello!  Thank you once again for joining me on this adventure!  This past week I have been…

I had heaps of fun making these cloud cushions for my bed from the Liberty Book of Simple Sewing.  I am a beginner sewer and this project was well within my means and so quick to finish!   I love this book it has so many cute projects, and it also has given me heaps of inspiration in looking for Liberty & Liberty inspired prints!

In the words of Marjorie Dawes from Little Britain …'I loooove the cake!' I made this yummy carrot cake on Sunday.  I found the recipe here.  And frankly it's a winner!  What's not to love…cinnamon, golden syrup, carrots, vanilla bean paste & cream cheese icing.


Have a great week & happy days to you..

Busy as a bee..

It has been a really busy week for me this week.  I work full-time but found the time to get out and visit some places I have been wanting to visit and finally get back to.

Fort Coffee has been on my to-do list for ages.  Fort is located at North Lakes, Queensland and I have heard all kinds of wonderful things about their coffee and comics!   I love that the ceiling was covered in superhero comics, and pendant lights hang in groups.  Fort has a great atmosphere and the coffee is pretty darn good too!

I love heading to Maleny Queensland, it is a cute town with a funky main street full of quirky and quaint shops with heaps of places to eat!  I am kind of ashamed to say that I have never ventured from the main street until now… There is a beautiful community garden one street down from Maple Street (main st) and it seemed that while everywhere else in the state is dry and brown Maleny seems to be blooming!

Pom poms!    It has to be a case of the name suiting the item to a tee.  I have been making some poms this week and experimenting with different lengths and sizes.  I will add grey to the mix and make a pom pom garland for my bedhead.  Pom poms are brilliant for decorating with garlands, in bunches or adding a cute touch to a present.

I love animals dressed like humans.   Animals have such character that it almost seems right to see them dressed up.  I found these cute cards in Maleny at Rosetta Books and have some little plans for them!  They almost look yearbook-esque with the sweet far away looks on their faces.   I will post when they are complete!

This little cutie patootie I found at Typo for $5.  He looks hand carved and is a pen!  Just had to share :)


Hope you have a great week!
