Kerbside Finds
11 day ago
Let me just say, I’ve always walked past or drove past stuff people had left on the kerbside for pick ups but never once have I picked anything up. It’s not for lack of trying but when I’m out walking, I can’t lug it back home or kick my son out of his pram to read further...
What did I just do?
11 day ago
in Crafty News
Yep, with sweaty palms and lots of hesitation, I just entered myself in Family Ever After’s Sew-Vivor competition. I’m not sure what has gotten into me as those who know me, I’m the one who hangs around just happy to watch all the going ons. I am an introvert by nature and I don’t like read further...
A Bit of Sewing
24 days ago
in Children
It’s been nearly a week since I last twisted my back, which makes sitting for prolonged periods of time very painful. I can’t even drive over speed humps, cough or laugh without hurting it. My two year old doesn’t seem to understand though that mummy has a really sore back and can’t carry him. And read further...

I’m super excited to see this book published by Penguin Books translated, not that I own the Japanese version, but it might just help me understand my own little library of Japanese sewing books.

Ok, I didn’t think I was that kinda mum, a sentimental one that is, but here is her first photo for “big” school. I’m hoping that she’ll continue to let me take her photo of her first days for the next 12 years. I made her write “first day of kindergarten 2 FEB 2012″ on read further...

in Children
I do believe this is the first piece of clothing I have sewn for my son. FINALLY! Anyway, I’ve been seeing lots of plaid shorts around for boys, but nothing in my budget (yes, I’m cheap). So finally found some left over suiting fabric for 5 dollars (ok, not so cheap but it is 100% read further...
2012: The Year of the Dragon
32 weeks ago
Happy Chinese New Year to all those celebrating today. I feel like I’ve been given another chance to start the year afresh since the last few weeks have been chaotic and all over the place. I don’t make resolutions (cos I’ll just break them) but here’s my very short wishlist (short because I’m not sure read further...
Goodies from Pippablue
12 weeks ago
in Crafty News, Giveaways
While I was away, a parcel arrived from Ireland for me. Oh yeah, did I mention that I won the SMS giveaway from PippaBlue? And get this, I was the first to comment, so totally didn’t expect to win this lot of goodies. Aren’t they yummy? Love the postcard from 1973 (yes, that’s the name read further...
Life at the beach

We are still spending time away from home, just showing you where we are at the moment. When I used to live here, this was a good place to come and think. But with two kids in tow, there’s hardly a moment to myself but it’s still a nice, relaxing place to be. And just read further...
