Many had quit high-profile jobs to start home-based businesses so they could spend more time with their kids. Some have those kids in care so they can work in their home-based business. I learned a lot at the Melbourne AusMumpreneur Conference this week. And I thought a lot during the three-hour drive home when it … Continue reading ‘We told you he was a loser.’
Cool chenille
Chenille has moved up in the cool stakes. Small town publicans don't realise how highly sought after the bedspreads are in their six rooms upstairs. And why shouldn't chenille be popping up in toys and clothing for kids. It's cool as. I'm not into upcycling vintage chenille from The Terminus, The Royal Mail or The Farmer's … Continue reading Cool chenille
‘I do it.’
You know when someone warns you not to look up, you just can't help but take a quick glance skyward? Or if you're not allowed to scratch your nose for some reason (whatever that reason may be. What would it be?), then your nose itches and twitches and you'd do anything to be able to … Continue reading ‘I do it.’
The big things in life

We had a lovely long weekend with friends and a bonfire, sleepovers and marshmallows. To top it off, I finished a new mobile design. It's a woodland theme with a tree in the middle, surrounded by woodland creatures. It's available in my shop.
Photo shoot at the church
I was lucky enough to have one of my mobiles featured in a new magazine Little Locals - parenting in Central Victoria (find them on Facebook). Inspired by the photography on the front page and throughout, I dressed the girls in their jersey dresses and went down the road to the old church for a … Continue reading Photo shoot at the church
I’ve been baptised
A couple of things: 1. I voted for Darren Percival. And now I feel like asking everyone I see if I can just borrow their phone for a minute so that I can vote again and again. If you’re into The Voice, you’ll know why. Last night something inside me changed when Darren Percival sang … Continue reading I’ve been baptised
Here they are in red – please, sit back down…
I've said it before, there's something about red. So now, partly because I'd wear a pair myself, partly because I'd love our girls to live in a pair each, and partly because even crazy people love red, here they are:
Navy anyone?
Because navy is cool on boys and just as cool on girls when they're wearing red shoes: Now available on my Children's Clothing page.
