What I've Been Loving…
Hi! Over the last couple of months I have been absolutely loving What Delilah Did and the book 'Storyland Cross Stitch' by Sophie Simpson. I first borrowed this book through my library and I quickly bought my own copy! It is such a gorgeous book with beautiful drawings, patterns and photos it really makes my imagination run wild! I have always been a fan mythical beasts and trust me this book is full of them!
I am so in love with this book I really want to make everything within it's pages. Do you have a favourite craft book that you just can't get enough of?
Happy Days!

Lots of things…
Hello! What a busy month! It has been a month since I last posted anything. Well, lets jump into it!
Recently my family and I visited Brisbane's GOMA (Gallery of Modern Art) and checked out Cai Guo-Qiang's exhibit Falling Back To Earth. It totally blew my mind. I just hope my pictures do it some justice but if you ever get the chance to see his work, do it you won't be disappointed.
Also this last month I got my first sale on my etsy store. I was excited to get a custom order that was to be a present for someone else. It is nice to have someone like what you do and actually want to pay you for it!
I love to crochet but I have admit my skills are limited. I wanted to challenge myself to create anything other than a granny square! After admiring many mandala rugs on pinterest I found some great inspiration, and found the perfect pattern. But unfortunately the pattern did not work for me, so I am making do with the start from the pattern for around the first 3 rounds and then making up my own! So far it's looking good..will keep you updated!
Maria George! You get me every time with your gorgeous collars and embellishments. I just couldn't resist this cute lace collar which I got from Spotlight for only $6.50AUD. Sewing it onto a cheap t-shirt I got from Target, I have ended up with a one of a kind shirt for only $14.00AUD. I get a giddy when something I picture in minds eye actually turns out ok! :)
Mother's Day. We love a celebration in my family. Any chance we get we love to get together and share a meal. My sister and I took on the role of cooks this year (even though she is a mum herself) and let our mum take it easy for once. This is how my family celebrated the day for mums….
Mussels in spicy Thai broth
Thai prawn curry
All the recipes were tried and tested and absolutely devoured by my family! We will be definitely making them again.
Food, craft, art and sewing some of my favourite things! I hope you have had a divine month and I promise it won't be so long between posts next time!

Mine was actually a Raspberry blissmas cake as I could not find any strawberry's in store at this time of year. I also made my sponge as the recipe states you can use a store bought one. My recipe for a Never fail sponge cake by one of my favourite CWA ladies Merle Parrish is here.

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..
