Happy Christmas to all and to all a goodnight!

December 22, 2011

Don’t you just love that poem?
We have been on a Christmas reading story frenzy around here. Also baking, ginger bread house icing (pure renovator’s delight), wrapping and getting ready for our annual Sargent family road trip.
My friend Kellie was talking about her childhood road trips, (which you should read btw, so cute and funny!) and [...]

Weekend things

December 20, 2011

It was a huge weekend for us that involved lots of friends and family and a lot of back and forth to the city. I have to say though I didn’t mind. I find Melbourne such an easy place to live and it wasn’t for chaotic department store shopping, it was for Otto’s Christmas concerts [...]

Epic Fail

December 16, 2011

Here I was all chirpy and happy thinking ‘Great! Only 5 entries, (one of whom was my Mum!) that means I can send something to everyone!’
This was until Otto came up to me, with a cheeky spark in his eye and said, with a mock-consoling hand on my shoulder, ‘Oh Ma. 5 entries? Are you [...]

Great (and quick) Stocking Giveaway!

December 13, 2011

I have a huge ‘things in progress’ basket, full of just started, near completed and half un-picked items. When I have an idea I have to start making it straight away which is good and bad. Good because I can usually tell about halfway in or not whether it’s a keeper. Bad because I [...]

Counting down

December 12, 2011

Lots of pre-Christmas action happening here but all the joy and good cheer reminds me to stop and think about the people who aren’t enjoying this time of the year. For whatever reason.

Home Stretch

December 7, 2011

Finally coming to the end of my orders. No mean feat. There was a last minute rush of course and Andy was in Hobart for the weekend so very little got done then. The kids and I lay low, sleeping all in together, baking, board gaming, dancing, dressing up and starting some Christmas projects. It’s [...]

Design Files Open House

December 2, 2011

Yep. It’s getting a lot of press and rightly so. It’s so gorgeous, such a lovely space filled to the brim with great things. Including Lucy’s sweet and smiling staff all polkadot-ty and cute.
Having work included in the Open House has been cool. Although entering the kids space was a little nerve wracking as I [...]

Sister and the city

November 30, 2011

I’ve been bed-ridden the past couple of days with a nasty virus. Feeling more than a little end-of-year burnt out. But enough of that. I did have a fun Sunday hanging out with Otto and my (Melbourne, not Sydney) sister, doing some Christmas shopping at Markit. It was crazy busy but with so many awesome [...]
