I collect glass. Glass jar, glass vases, glaseses. Not sure why, but I’m always attracted to the glassware section in a second hand store, always trawling through boxes of old jamming jar at garage sales. Anyway, will my abundance of glassware, I am loving these simple, yet effective paint effects of adding new life into old glass.

We celebrated our 2nd wedding anniversary in Feb this year and I finished making our present. Following traditional gift ideas of “Cotton” – I decided to make our gift from cotton linen and wool felt. This was in honor of our wedding waltz to “Fly me to the moon” (Nina Simone version) which was inspired for our love of the song and the 2 years we spent living long-distance apart. I also had some other gift ideas which you can see on my Pinterest board here. What do you think of the result? Hoping to display it in our bedroom, above our bed, where we can dream among the stars!

Australian House & Garden is out – loving the front cover and inside story about ‘mums’ working from home. Although I’m not a mum, I am inspired by other women who take the leap to quit their full time jobs and create a business from home – congrats!
