One of the best things about this time of the year are all the bee quilts that are starting to get finished up and put together now! Either the queen bee has had long enough to make a few more, or just procrastinate! Or there’s the looming deadline of a Christmas gift to be finished off, or wrapping up WIPs… Read More

I was drawn in by her stunning photography, and her beautiful creations, and the fact that she was from Adelaide too. I do remember it was when there was a lot more crochet projects?? But now?! Well,… Read More

What some of you may not know about me is that I’m a fully trained and qualified primary school (elementary) teacher. Being a teacher was something I have always remembered wanting to do, so when it came time to decide what to do/study at university, a Bachelor of Education was a no-brainer.
