Welcome to my blog. I document my adventures in travel, style, and food. Hope you have a nice stay!
Last year, husband suggested crunchy muesli (AKA granola for those in America) clusters with yoghurt as an addition to the breakfast rotation. The only problem was that all the commercial varieties had too much sugar, were insufficiently crunchy or were prohibitively expensive - or all three!
Thus began the great crunch hunt of 2016, resulting in the following recipe...
Like the good little bulk-meal-prepper that I am, yesterday I took myself off to Costco and bought a slab of beef mince and a vaccuum-sealed pack of chicken thighs. I do not use the word 'slab' lightly. This thing was more than 3kg.
Buying a printable file can cost less than the paper (or cardstock) you'll print it on!
You might be wondering why I've chosen to do an Etsy printable round up instead of a freebie printable roundup. The simple answer is because I believe designers should be compensated for their designs and that it's something that our online/digital culture doesn't nurture enough.

Sorry for the radio silence, I've had a lot going on - the most exciting of which is that I've finally restocked and reopened my Etsy store!
Today I double-booked myself: this month's Canberra Sewing Crew meet-up and a Days for Girls sewing day. Rather than cancel either plan, I went to both, and while I'm now exhausted, I'm glad I did.

It's been a while since I've posted. I feel like I'm catching up with a friend who I haven't seen in ages: slightly unsure of my reception, more than a little guilty for neglecting our relationship, and unexpectedly happy to be here talking (writing) to you.
For me, sewing is my passion, even thought there are definitely some aspects of the sewing process that I don't love.
So in honour of Valentine's Day tomorrow, I thought I'd share some of the things I love about sewing, and some of the things I don't.
You know when you really just want to dive in and start sewing, but you bought a PDF pattern and first you have to tape it all together and that just ruins your mojo? This is a story about how my sewing mojo was ruined, but in the end, wasn't ruined at all.
I have no excuses for not writing up a proper blog post. I've been slack on this front, but busy and having fun on other fronts - check it out.
So much happened in October. Here are the highs and lows...
