Today I bought a microwave. It’s the first one I’ve ever owned in my life. That’s right. I have survived without one. But how do you defrost bread Wendy? Well up until lately I used to put it in the toaster for a short time. Either that, or I would get organised and get it […]

There’s been a couple of interesting articles pop up about email signoffs this week. There was also a fun twitter exchange as a few people shared their practices. It really got me thinking about mine so here we go. Kind Regards I tend to use this in work or semi-formal situations where I intend to […]

I had every good intention to write a post about what I read in 2012. But now it is evening and I am tired and would not do it justice. I also realised that I haven’t kept track of my reading in 2012 very well. I can however, write a post about the way my […]

I have spent the morning as I mean to continue the rest of 2013 – catching up with a friend in person! We worked out we hadn’t done this for the whole of 2012 and we live in the same town. I need to do much better this year with the whole work-life balance situation. […]

In an attempt to make lemonade out of lemons I finished this white top to take to Rockhampton tomorrow and added some daisy chain trim to the hem. (The lemons are Rockhampton. The lemonade is the daisy chain trimmed top that I will wear while there). I also whipped up a skirt to wear tomorrow […]

It’s not quite Grand Designs. The budget and scale of the project are minute. I’m not turning an abandoned chicken shed into a three storey, eco-friendly family home made of straw bales. I’m just turning my unused garage which usually stands empty except for a few cleaning bits and pieces, an old silky oak wardrobe […]

After days of hay fever I finally managed to get to the doctor and get a prescription for my heavy duty nasal spray. Almost instant relief. Of course the doctor’s visit was for something else. Two weeks ago I tripped up the stairs at work and gave myself a monster bruise on my shin. It […]

The sewing frenzy continues. I spent every day at work wishing I was at home sewing. That is strange isn’t it? Yesterday I made two things. This top and this skirt. I am very happy with the top. It is better than last week’s effort with the same pattern where I didn’t take enough notice […]
