So, remember how last weekened I surprised my parents by popping down to Adelaide (a 3-hour flight for the non-Aussies)? Well, I was woken up at 6am on Saturday by my bedroom door opening… and my husband walking in the door! Yep, the husband who was supposed to be in Japan for 10 weeks. He’d secretly booked a 3 day… Read More

This weekend, I snuck away to Adelaide to surprise my parents for Mother’s Day. It’s the first time I’ve seen them for over 3 years! As I’m writing this on Friday, I’m hoping that it went well, haha!

As you’re reading this, I will definitely be relaxing and enjoying a little holiday week after moving back to Australia from Japan, so if I’m a little slow to respond to comments, that’d be why! In the meantime, don’t forget to take advantage of the 15% off storewide “Sayonara Sale” – a great time to grab the pattern and make… Read More

Well, I’ve already shared all my sewing from this past week, and there’s nothing new to add because I’m now all done for sewing in Japan. At least, the sewing that I can share because I’ve gotten a little bit more done for the Modern HST Sampler in an effort to be a little more organised, and just to keep the withdrawal… Read More

This week has involved some secret swap sewing.

And then this progress shot from… Read More
