December 18, 2020December 17, 2021Leave a comment

Even though I've already made a gift giving guide, I thought it might be fun to share and explore more gift ideas but specifically for fans of the Amazon series, the Marvelous Mrs Maisel. This list will hopefully suit all budgets and come from small independent businesses and also the official Maisel brand. Of course … Continue reading Gift ideas for the Mrs Maisel Obsessed

Daisy Jean Floral Totoro Brooch Collection Review

April 17, 2020April 14, 2020Leave a comment

We all have those guilty pleasure movies where we can sit back, relax and escape on amazing adventures inside fantastical worlds and wonderful creatures; for a lot of people, that's Disney but for me, it's actually Studio Ghibli. For those that aren't aware of Studio Ghibli, stop what you're doing, go and find a copy … Continue reading Daisy Jean Floral Totoro Brooch Collection Review

  As some of you know, I have recently become the Australian face for Daisy Jean Floral for 2020. It's such an exciting venture but also a very scary one.

March 15, 2019March 13, 2019Leave a comment

Some things can just truly make your day; a delicious cup of tea in the morning, fresh flowers and a brand new pink dress.

Do you enjoy winter holidays or summer holidays? I suppose summer is a bit easier but there's something delightfully cosy about winter adventures. What would be your ideal winter holiday?
Big boots bows make me happy. I'm trying really hard to get back to some sort of normal work routine but I've honestly been struggling. I'm not sure when I'll be well enough to film and edit and get back into the swing of things but I'm trying my best each day.
Sundays are an odd day, they have this laziness to them that's something to be savored but by the evening I'm stressed about the week to cone. Anyone else feel like this? I personally think we should add another day to the weekend so I can get all my housework done.
It's looking like a quiet weekend of recovery for me, what are your plans? What would be your perfect weekend?
Sad story about this dress: I made it using #butterick6284 during lockdown and absolutely loved it. After a few wears I took it to the laundry and somehow it fell behind the laundry basket where it wasn't visible. After a good while I found it but noticed it had some odd sun bleaching right on the front of the bodice. Now I wear it around the house but I'm tempted to remake it from the same fabric. Should I make another copy? Or should I just accept it as a house dress?
I'm in recovery mode and it's driving me crazy. I wanted to work today but just couldn't due to pain. I miss my normal routine, blogging and sewing. I don't think I'll be able to film this week but I'll try my best for a video next week.
I can't believe it's already wednesday! The week is just whizzing by and there's still so much to do. I'd much rather be lounging in pretty dresses. What would you rather be doing right now?
What are your weekend plans? I'm having an Endo flare up so if I manage to get up off the couch, that's me being productive. In spirit I'll be off adventuring ❤️
Is it weird to miss a certain fabric? I'm still obsessed with this yellow retro floral fabric from @pbsfabrics and I've already got it in green and soon to be pink. But, I want to make another dress out of the yellow. I know I'm on a fabric shopping ban but should I break it to get some more of this gorgeous yellow? It's just so pretty and I want it on a dress with sleeves! Thoughts?
Is everyone ready for Easter weekend? I'm not putting up my decorations this year due to renovations but I still have some Easter baking to do. Do you have an Easter tradition?
