Greig’s brother is getting married in March – wedding season remember? My mother in law and Fiona’s mother in law to be thought it would be nice to have a wedding shower for her to meet up with family members and friends before the big day and also for us get to know some of […]
So the week after Christmas I believe I felt pretty much crafted out. I still haven’t started the Christmas quilt I promised myself I’d start in January. Back to the week after Christmas. I always feel slightly overwhelmed by the amount of gifts we receive, which serves to (a) make me feel very spoiled and […]
Puppet Monster came to tea
So remember my friends Weather (Wan and Heather for the uninitiated)? When Heather was planning their wedding she mentioned that she was allergic to flowers and was planning to use paper flowers in her bouquets. She showed me a few she liked on Etsy and before I knew it I’d offered to make them. As […]

It was time. It was time to get on my big girl pants and cross some things off the to do list which I had been avoiding ostrich style. First I got up and went for a run. For the first time in a long time. It was fine. I maybe even enjoyed it a […]
Their invitation had a beachy theme which was unexpected and cool. It fit them perfectly I think. It was a simple flat card in navy and blue. I used starfish clip art which I sized and coloured to fit which looks pretty like a stamped image. I think it came out really well. Heather wanted […]
Remember I told you it was wedding season?. Yesterday saw Greig act as Best Man to his longtime friend Euan. Known to us as Wan since our school days it’s kind of hard to let that go. In fact no one else calls him Wan with the possible exception of Vikki, and even we don’t […]
