Festivities Filled with Family and Friends...

I had the chance over Easter, to spend a lovely 4 days with my family up in Mansfield, Vic...

And I tell you what, It's getting harder and harder to come back to grey, smog filled Melbourne!
It is ever so beautiful there...

Filled with beautiful homemade food...

While this looks like your traditional Egg & Bacon Brekky... It is actually an Ostrich Egg with Home Smoked Bacon on Homemade Bread! Delish......!

Milk out of a jug... Bless...

Homemade "free form" Gluten free Apple Pie, made from home grown Apples.

Old memories...

My favourite Spider... Her web is HUGE!!!

Kiwi fruit vine...

New life...

One hour after being born!

And a sereneness Melbourne could never compete with...

I hope you all had a safe and chocolate filled Easter x

Happy Easter...

So I set myself a task today, though I started off with some procrastination mid morning, I did everything I set out to do! How about that!

Freshly Baked 'Raspberry Spiked Chocolate Brownies'...

This is the second batch... as i forgot the cocoa powder in the first lot... i was trying to multi-task!

Finishing the small details on a bag for myself... finally...

I have been carrying the same handbag around for the past 3 years & it has been on its final legs (or handles...)... So i finally got around to making one for ME!

Its amazing what I found at the bottom of my old handbag... and it didn't surprise me in the least why i find it so hard to ever find anything in it!!

It was great to minimise all the clutter of old recipts, bobby pins, hair-ties (in various stages of elastic loss!) random bits a pieces and loose change! $3.25 to be exact!

So now to try to keep the new handmade bag clutter free! Wish me luck!

Happy Easter everyone, drive safe & cherish the time spent with loved ones

A whole lot of stuff...

I have been feeling very stuffy recently, stuffy with living in a tiny apartment, stuffy with dealing with my job, stuffy with too many ideas swirling around in my mind & dreaming about creative fancy fumblings all night long... Most of all, stuffy with living in melbourne... I do not belong here.

Have you ever had the feeling that you don't belong, that you merely go on with your daily routine because its easier then finding who you are really meant to be.

I'm right there... stuck... fast...

Though Melbourne can be beautiful as Sunday revealed
