My Life As A Magazine: Studio

For the past few weeks I have been a busy bee decorating and re-organising my little home studio. I always enjoy giving it a fresh makeover (spring clean) ever so often. One of the things that has been on my 'to-do' list is to make a tissue paper tassel garland!

Here are some snaps of the finished product.

Now, working full time in a job and industry that I love I am still working on finding a balance between work and my other creative loves;blogging, self-publishing, crafting as well as making time for rest, play and fun adventures with friends and family. Here are a some snaps of a few 'things' from the past couple of weeks.

Last Thursday I turned 28! Eeep! My Birthday also falls on Australia Day, so it's a day everyone enjoys as it is a public holiday here in Oz. I had a lovely day relaxing with my hubby and family. I got so many wonderful gifts from amazon jp and Uguisu (my hubby knows me well!) and ate yummy Pavlova off my new Cath Kidston polka dot plates that came all the way from the UK.

Hope you all had a wonderful and fun Christmas and New Year break. If I had to sum up mine in one word it would be 'cosy'. I bought a sewing machine! (early b'day..present). My days were spent catching up with family and friends and setting up a little sewing nook at home. My sewing nook is filled with the must need sewing items as well as pretty fabrics, bright neon felt and my favourite sewing and knitting craft books. There have been many relaxing hours embroidering (I'm addicted) a DIY Beci Orpin pillow while I watch my fave UK shows 'Kristie's Homemade Home' and 'The Delicious Miss Dahl' - Sophie Dahl is my new favourite cook, she makes lots of yummy British inspired comfort food that leaves me drooling and craving mash potato and pea concoctions!

Some wonderful things have arrived in the post this year!

Every time I get something special I like to add it to my 'mail wall'. Since I rent I use pretty mt tapes to stick my mail packaging, business cards, letters, and souvenirs on with as it doesn't leave a mark. Below is a little package I received from Margaret, a cute bunting stamp, stickers and mini paper bags from her Paper Pastries store.
