• Upcycling – Making Bassinet and Cot Sheets

  I recently introduced my mother-in-law to eBay…. she loved it! We went searching for a bassinet (with a little bit of character) for the baby. I really liked the older style cane bassinets, and eBay delivered (it also happened to be located about 30 minutes from my Mother-in-law’s house). We placed our highest bid a…

• Butterflies for babies

  

    Let me start by clarifying that I am not obsessed with butterflies… but they are such wonderful subjects for 3D artwork.

• Butterfly Mania

  I have a thing for butterflies at the moment – maybe it has something to do with the current metamorphosis my life is undertaking right now. We have sold our home in the city (Melbourne), and bought a block of land on a golf course, about 800m from the beach in Torquay (all in the…

• Wall discs – try some circular decor in your home!

  Have you ever stopped to notice that almost everything we put on our wall is either square or rectangular? I love these wall discs, simply because they’re circles … and also because you can change the material if you get sick of it (which is perfect for me – I change my decor with the…

• Creating a canvas – why not use patterns?

  Decorating the walls in your home is a very personal thing – it’s like choosing an additional housemate, because you have to live with your decision every day. I found myself being so particular about size, colour and mood of my wall decor that I end up making them myself. The decision to do so…
