Hi Reader, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and some relaxing days off to rejuvenate for the coming New Year. 2024 is here and I'm excited to dive into this new year and dearly hope that all our wishes and dreams will come true. Whilst I love this festive season I have come to realize that working in retail takes a little bit of the magic away, unfortunately. The relaxing time is suddenly not as relaxing as I remember it from those days when I worked in the office. LOL Even with all that...

Hi Reader, Have you every wondered if patchwork is something for you? Or is there a way to display my pictures in a more creative way than just in photo frames? Well, here is an idea for you.

Hi Reader, Are you a Mackay local? If yes I hope you had time to go to the Bucasia Beach Quilter Craft fair this past weekend? Some stunning quilts have been displayed and local craft woman have shown the stunning work they do. I had to work in my casual job but was able to walk through within the last hour of the event and it was wonderful to see all the art work. Unfortunately I don't have any photos. Next time I have to ask them if I'm allowed to take some and share it with you. :) Picture...

Hi Reader, Today I'd like to give you a little quilting inspiration. Especially for those among us who looooove to buy panels or those of us who always were wondering to buy a panel but don't really know how to use it. In June I was commissioned to make a quilt for a customer. She bought all the fabric and I designed and sewed the quilt for her. I loved her choice of fabric. It was a under the sea theme with a little touch of "out of space". :) Have a look at the finished quilt. Originally my...

Hi Reader, I'm a slow sewer and for the first time in my life I'm proud of It. 😊 I've always admired others seeing them creating project after project pumping them out like a factory. I thought if I could do this with the ideas in my head this would be so cool. 😊 Imagine all those ideas finally come to life how awesome would that be? No more saying oh one day I'll do this or one day I will have time for that but this one day never comes along. Well... most creatives I dare say feel this way...

Have you ever felt that way Reader? That you feel time and life is somehow surreal? That you feel like you are in the wrong movie or story? This morning I woke up and I felt like writing down this poem. I should point out that I'm not a very good poem writer nor do I claim I wanna be one. But I've noticed it feels good to write things down when I feel like it. So here it goes my early morning inspiration in all its glory lol When time keeps spinning, twisting and turning, keep moving in ways...

Hi Reader, Today I'd like to share some magic that happens quite often in our lives but we tend to either ignore it or simple not see it. Before I start getting into the "magical" part I have to explain a few things first. Otherwise you probably think what on earth is she even talking about - has she now lost it completely? Lol I promise you I haven't it's just all in the perspective. :) Last year I stumbled across Numerology. If you haven't heard of it it is an ancient form of predicting...
