Latest Projects

Callum and i made this cool mobile a couple weeks ago from gumnuts, pinecones and other nature treasures that we collected in the forest a while back.


I drilled a whole in each one (I love my cordless drill vooooooom vooooommm hehe)then we threaded them onto fishing line.
It looks great hanging in the dining room :)

I also have plans to sand back the dining room table too



I've already got the sandpaper thanks to my awesome Dad but just gotta find the time as the garden and house are the priorities at the moment but i think iot will look fantastic once it is rubbed back and given a couple of coats of oil. i got it for free too, a year ago when somebody was moving interstate. I Love freebies and recycling

This is what we have planted so far




in these cool newspaper pots that we made, so easy. I made up my own blend of 50% seed raising mix 25% potting mix and 25% soil from the garden. we will be planting some every week, staggering it so we have lots to last through the season


Its been 6 days and no signs of life yet but i' sure something will happen soon... it better!!!










The 2 neglected pots of mint(one mint julep and the other chocolate mint) were looking a bit sad so they have now had a good cut back, some seaweed solution and a good water




Its happy now and i bet will be bouncing back in a couple of weeks. Good ol mint mmm

The lavender looks good next to the herb garden



The vegie patch is looking fantastic now that the beds are dug ovber and paths marked out and leveled. Unfortunately you can't really see in a photo but be patient my friends, it will come!
We had a great weekend. Out in the yard together, planning and creating our garden, our life, our future.
