    This is where we’ve been hiding for the last three days – at Kioloa Beach on the South Coast of NSW. It was so relaxing and on a day like this one it just makes me appreciate where I live. The beach was relatively quiet and the water was relatively warm and my little men…

    Once again my hexadecimal (named) colour does not match my mind’s eye but here’s what I came up with: TOP: From Yumi Yumi’s store – I was at the point of giving up on the old colour search tool when this print appeared. I am already a Yumi Yumi convert and just last month bought…

So far the course has been great and even though it only started last week I’m close…

        My colour of the week (plum) wasn’t the same in hexadecimal as it was in my mind. But I decided to stay true to my method and go with it and here’s what I found. TOP – Over the Rainbow Design was found using the old colour search. This was a really hard…

    The challenge this week is to write about an obstacle that I overcame. This has been a tough topic for me… why is that? To say I have had a charmed existence may be an exaggeration but I don’t have a tale of hardship either. And then it hit me, what has been my biggest…

    My gorgeous friend Rach sent me a link to Hawthorne Threads last week and I was besotted. I don’t think I’ve seen such a gorgeous range of fabric under one ‘virtual’ roof. Luckily for me I was in need of some fabric for my boys’ birthday t-shirts and then I was just so inspired by…

    My colour of the week is crimson and here are the winners from my Esty colour search. A funny thing happened this week, I started to look past the product and focus on the photo, which is what attracted me to the last two, especially the Swarovksi crystal beads. Just goes to show that a…
