I think I might have made this bracelet 5 different ways this afternoon! I had all sorts of beads out over my desk, and nothing was quite working for the longest time. So I stopped for lunch, played with the kids (it’s a public holiday here), and then went back to it after a while.… Read More
These are some of my favourite beads to make, and I love the mix of colours in this necklace. It feels just right for a warm day like it is here. I have used an assortment of recycled glass to make the beads in this necklace. It has ended up being a longer style necklace,… Read More
This is part of a series of posts about colour. This month I am focusing on the colour brown. Remember last month when I was talking about the colour red? I mentioned that the complimentary colour for red was green. And I might have mentioned that I wasn’t a huge fan of that colour combination because… Read More
This morning I am feeling grateful: I had an amazing day at Red Poles Sea and Vine Festival Pop-Up Market on Saturday. I shared a gazebo with 2 other lovely artists, and we spent the quiet parts of the day chatting, eating cheese platters and maybe indulging in one glass of bubbles! I am grateful… Read More

This is part of a series of posts about colour. This month I am focusing on the colour purple. Last week I introduced you to the colour purple. I mentioned that a lot of colours worked really well with purple. I have quite a few favourite colour combinations that I particularly like, but my favourite is… Read More
I nearly didn’t go for a walk this morning! We had a big weekend visiting our mum’s for Mother’s Day. I hadn’t slept very well most of the weekend. So I didn’t set my alarm this morning, because I wanted to get as much sleep as possible. When I woke up there was still… Read More
This is part of a series of posts about colour. This month I am focusing on the colour purple. Purple is such a calm, soothing colour, and from my experience, purple is one of the colours most bought as a gift for someone else. I think that’s because it is really hard to dislike the colour purple. If… Read More
It was such a beautiful morning for a walk. I was thinking about how amazing the Flinders Street Market was on Saturday. It was wonderful re-connecting with some customers that I haven’t seen for a few years. It was really nice to put faces to names of people who I have previously only known online.… Read More
