You guys! It’s almost finished! I began this hexagon rug almost as soon as we moved back to our farmhouse last July, and throughout the winter and spring, I knocked out a couple of hexagons whenever I had the chance. Last year I entered a striped afghan blanket in the local show and the year…

Good Things
ONE I picked up these gorgeous tile trivets when I was in Sydney last week with Hannah. We went to see Ed Sheeran concert last week (we gave her the tickets for her birthday in December) and took the opportunity to spend a few hours wandering the city and exploring all the things we can’t…
Full And Thorough Holiday Reporting
You guys, I have begun half a dozen blog posts in the last few weeks, and then they sit there in my drafts folder and go no further. I don’t know about you, but the summer holidays have whizzed by, and I’ve been back at work for a week now (insert sad face). I’m taking…
Taking Stock | January 2018
Summer holidays really are the best time of the year. We’ve had Christmas at the farm with all my family, followed by a week up the coast with them again. Now we are home and enjoying some downtime. I’ve had some breathing space which has got my brain ticking over with lots of different ideas…

Big Things and Little

The Farmhouse Renovation Tour – Part Two
It’s been quite an effort, but at last, I’ve got part two of our farmhouse tour together. Last time I was talking about our farmhouse renovation, I got as far as showing you the outside, explaining our design concept, and giving you a tour of the main open plan living room. Today, I’m heading into…
The Farmhouse Renovation Tour – Part One
This post has been a long time coming. Six years in fact! Now that we are finally here in our farmhouse I can tell you it has been hard but totally worth the effort. Our farmhouse was originally built by C’s great grandfather in (we think) 1940. Since that time there had been some cosmetic…
