    I don’t wear gold well not yellow gold anyway. I kind of held out hope that a Gold search would yield exotic jewellery, but look what I found instead: TOP: Glorious Glass Garden Butterfly Feeder – isn’t it lovely? The names of the flowers are painted in 18ct gold. MIDDLE: Bead Aria Gold Crochet Bracelet.…

    Today is ANZAC Day and I always pause and remember as the grand daughter of a man who didn’t return from World War II. For a recent Uni assignment I had to research stamps and came across these which I felt were both sombre and hopeful; feelings I associate with today. They shall grow not…

    Hey, it’s been a little quiet on the blog front but nothing to do with my recent hacking and recreating experience. The boys and I were visiting a friend in Sydney and spent this Wednesday riding buses, ferries (the little one thought we were riding fairies) and trains. It’s so great that public transport can…

    This has been our view of the world for the last two days. The cyclist and I are in training for the 24 Hour Mega Swim and spend our time venturing off to the pool in shifts. Yesterday we took the boys as well and kept them amused while we swam our laps. I do…

    Well not literally, this is a cyber move. I have decided to take the plunge and enter the world of a self-hosted WordPress blog. Thanks to the lovely Tara at Scoutie Girl I’m setup and good to go. I would like to think that everything will go swimmingly but, well, that would be too Pollyanna…

    I have a confession… I’m a bit of a web nerd. This has been many years in the making but it’s something I love and 3 days a week I get paid to be one. So here’s what I’ve been noticing. Many talented blogging artisans struggle with the technology behind their blogs. This was a…

    I didn’t realise this before but the etsy colour search tools do not cater for black, white or shades of grey which makes sense being as they are ‘colour’ search tools. I do love what I found by doing a keyword search and it didn’t take long at all for these treasures to appear. They…

  • Chocolate Anyone?

    In our house Easter chocolates appear in nests in the garden on Easter Sunday. They build their nests (and ours) and our little men end up with a giant stash of assorted chocolate. It’s the only day of the year that they can have chocolate with breakfast. I think we are now all overloaded on…
