Inspiring Ladies

Nellie & Dot....


Nellie is my maternal grandma (Granny, or G.G) who taught me to crochet (unfortunately I have now forgotten how) and nurtured my faith in the Lord. She is a wonderful lady, who has lead an amazing life (ah, the stories she has from her army days) and I love her dearly. 


Dot was my paternal grandma (Gran) who sadly passed away in 2010. She was also an amazing little lady who made the most amazing chocolate cakes for our birthday each year and chocolate chip cookies that are making my mouth water just thinking about them! She was such a quiet soft spoken lady who was fiercely independent. I miss her.

First post!

I'm finally getting around to writing my first blog post! Its something I've been meaning to do for a long long time, but its amazing how quickly time flies, especially when you're busy running after kids!
A bit about me, I am a secondary science teacher, currently on family leave (thank you Victorian Government for giving me 7 years!). I have two beautiful kids, Miss Matilda (Tilly), who is 2 and a half and Hamish-Bear (almost 10 months). I also have a wonderful step-daughter, Tashabel who lives with us full time and absolutely adores her little sister and brother.

A small basic quilt I made from a couple of charm packs of reproduction 1930's prints. My first quilt!

I have a passion for all things crafty, sewing is my utmost favourite (and embroidery). I also love to bake and this year must learn how to knit and crochet.
In 2009 I met a beautiful mum at my mums group and we have since started a small business together advocating the use of modern cloth nappies.
Hmm, after reading over this, I wonder how I'll have time to keep up with it?
