I finally got my dream bathroom!

SQUEE! Finally almost 8 years after buying my apartment, I bit the bullet and decided to have my bathroom renovated. You may remember the very simple makeover I did back in 2014. It sufficed for a while but I eventually grew to hate that dinky old bathroom. It was dirty and badly lit and MUSTARD.Continue reading “I finally got my dream bathroom!”

Australia Temperate Zone: veggie planting calendar [free download]

I’ve learnt a lot over the years in the garden through trial and error and of course by lots of research with the myriad of resources out there. There are other planting calendars already available but I found that none of them had exactly the information that I was looking for in one place –Continue reading “Australia Temperate Zone: veggie planting calendar [free download]”

Breathtaking Iceland

2017 has absolutely flown by as usual and also as usual I don’t think I’ve updated my blog once. Oops. Among a million things that have happened already this year, I turned 30. To celebrate I had a beautiful birthday dinner with my nearest and dearest and as a gift to myself I took aContinue reading “Breathtaking Iceland”

Northwest North America

In June last year I went on a road trip through Northwest USA, into Canada and back down into the American Midwest, and it was one of my most favourite trips I’ve ever taken. America is such a vast, beautiful and rich country geographically – there’s so much to see and do and the landscapeContinue reading “Northwest North America”

Vegan starter kit

I’m prefacing this post by saying I know that I have been so incredibly slack in updating my blog – so many things have been happening in life over the last year or so and I just haven’t begun to think about where I start posting about everything that life has had to offer. IContinue reading “Vegan starter kit”

Latest stained glass creations

A few months ago I posted about my newest love for stained glass, a craft that is as satisfying as it is painstaking. After finishing the first semester of the course I was absolutely obsessed and went back for another semester. Here are some photos of my recent creations. (Side note: I am still absolutelyContinue reading “Latest stained glass creations”

My budget patio makeover secret

It’s been around 18 months now since I delved into the property market and moved into my first apartment. During that time I’ve focused on making my little haven into a home that I love spending my time in. I love coming home here every day and being greeted by happy little furry faces surrounded byContinue reading “My budget patio makeover secret”

Vegan summer fruits trifle

What a year 2015 has been! I’m totally slack at updating my blog and there are a million projects/trips/photo adventures/things I need to post about but for now this is just a quick post as I’ve been getting so many requests for the recipe of the dessert I made for my family Christmas this year.Continue reading “Vegan summer fruits trifle”

My foray into stained glass

I’ve always loved stained glass. Growing up my mum used to make beautiful glass works, teaching classes in our garage for people interested in making lamps, windows, ornaments, you name it. Even though mum hasn’t made anything for a number of years now, her house (and my grandparents’ house) is still filled with beautiful antiqueContinue reading “My foray into stained glass”

I love a sunburnt country

I recently spent two weeks travelling through the Northern Territory and I had such an amazing time. I had been to Darwin before once for a work conference but it was in the middle of summer – hot, humid, muggy, uncomfortable, hot, sweaty, balmy and did I mention hot? Otherwise known as notaverygoodtime. But thisContinue reading “I love a sunburnt country”
