Waddles & Radley

Whilst looking for beautiful stationery for my letter writing to my pen pal & just general scrapbooking & journalling, I was thrilled to come across Waddles & Radley.  I placed my order for their Unicorn Waddle Box & waited for this to arrive with great anticipation!  It arrived in a lovely box with my name […]

Chronically Creative

When you have been diagnosed with a chronic illness you can often feel that you are walking a dark & scary road through a forest.  You hear all these strange sounds that you don’t understand & that often freak you out.  You come to many forks in the path & have to decide which one […]

SLDV Illustration

As I’m sure you know by now, I am trying to collect family portraits from different South African artists/illustrators & hope to one day have a whole feature wall with different interpretations of our lives.  We may not be your usual family (what with our children being four-legged & furry), but we are a family […]

Olive and Arrow

When it comes to art, there are so many different, unique styles & whenever I seem to think I have discovered that which I love the most I seem to discover another.  Have you ever heard of “one line drawing”?  It is as the name says, & coming across Olive & Arrow introduced me to […]

MILLAMAE

Can you believe that 2019 is almost upon us?  When I realised that we are now in OCTOBER my mind went to all sorts of places – it is time to start thinking of Christmas (am I allowed to put up my tree yet?); it is our sixth wedding anniversary this month; we are moving […]

IT’S OKAY to not always be okay

Have you ever met someone & just clicked with them from the word go?  They just get you, your craziness, & love you through/despite your ups & downs.  To me, this person is Charlie – from Charlie Foxtrot Illustrations & Charlie and Beastie.  She has the most AMAZING talent, & she found space in her heart […]

Kaatjie

After my blog on Jislaaik Online Store, I decided to delve a bit deeper into some of their products that they feature as I was super interested in what they have on offer, as well as the different art & talent that was being shown off.  The one page that really stood out to me […]

Megy Designs

A friend recently tagged me in a post showing me Megy Design’s fabulous work & I was immediately drawn to her style & talent.  Plus her name is pretty damn cool, so I knew I had to make contact! This designer, doodler & wannabe-hipster (her own words) is a super mum & truly a beautiful […]

Projectarian

About 3 years ago I picked up a crochet hook for the first time.  A lot of my friends were having babies so I wanted to make something special for them, but I also wanted a hobby.  I truly felt like I didn’t have anything that made me smile from my soul & that I […]

Nib and Bristle

Put on your crown; let us conquer the world.” For my birthday, I decided I wanted something a little bit special as my “guest book”, & not something that would simply be put away at the bottom of the drawer & forgotten about.  I started googling ideas for this along with ideas for decor, & […]
