I'm a Textile & Craft Explorer, with a love for turning ordinary materials and little ideas into creative adventures.I enjoy exploring beginner-friendly sewing, quilting, home décor and craft projects, but I'm equally curious about what happens when creativity meets everyday life — our mindset, habits, wellbeing, curiosity and the way we see ourselves.I'm fascinated by the connections between creativity and mental wellbeing, positive mindset, habit change, numerology and all the little threads that seem to weave life together.I don't have all the answers — I'm exploring too. 😊So if you're curious about one of these things (or all of them!), come along for the adventure. Let's experiment, learn, make, notice what we discover and see where the next little door leads.**As I Go, I'm exploring what becomes possible when we get back in touch with our inner creative self.** 🌿🧵

What if we tried a different way?

Hi 😊 I’ve been experimenting with a few different ways to make learning at home a little more fun — using movement, silly voices, games and even a pirate adventure! 🏴☠️ And along the way, I realised something about how I naturally use creativity in everyday life. I’ve shared the little adventure (and what I discovered) on my blog: What If Homework Could Be a Little More Fun? 🌱 [Read the story here] Come along and see what we discovered.

Create your own envelope just for fun

Hi Reader, I made something quite simple the other day — a little fabric envelope. It started because I needed an envelope for a birthday card and realised I had plenty of leftover fabric sitting around. I remembered a simple project I used to make with my beginner sewing classes, so I thought... why not make one? It turned out to be a lovely little reminder that sometimes the things we already have tucked away can become something useful and fun. I've written about the little experiment —...

Hi Reader, This week my daughter and I tried something new—we made our own stickers! It started with one of her ideas after watching a crafty YouTube video. Since we already had a Cricut and some sticker paper at home, we thought, why not give it a go? We ended up making fun stickers, practical labels for our storage boxes, discovered a few little mistakes along the way (including a spelling error I only noticed after printing 😄), and even found some cheaper sticker paper hidden away in the...

Hello everyone, I hope you are having a fantastic week so far. I was meant to send you my sewing tip last week but due to a couple of school events that I helped organizing, birthday parties and life I'm just finding time now to send you this tip. It's a great tip that you may need now or it will help you in the future. It was something I didn't really think about at first until my mum called and said she had issues with her sewing machine. The fabric didn't move through as normal and she had...

Hi everyone, Just a short hello from my end and a quick share of my latest project. This time it's not a video update I've created a blog post with a short story or rather a snippet out of Zamira's life. A fantasie character that sometimes inspires me when I create some items. I know this must sound weird. But I tend to create little stories around some of my projects and this is one of it. Don't judge on my writing skills please I'm not an author but occassionally my mind spins up some...

Hello Reader my fellow creative, How are you proceeding in your "Project bucket list" endevour? Well, if you have decided to join me in it that is. :) So far I'm doing well. Keep reading and watch the video below to see my latest finished projects. Yes, do you belief it. I attempted to sew barbie clothes. I didn't want to do it as they are soooo fiddly I thought. And I mean of course they are as they are so tiny. To my pleasant surprise though it went smoother than I thought to create them. I...

It is time Reader, Time to tackle your project bucket list. What I mean by this? It's simple. Keep reading to learn more. While Bungee jumping and Skydiving as seen in the image is so not on my list and never will be. I was rather thinking about sewing and crafting projects. I don't know about you but I come up with new ideas faster than I can finish the ones I've started. Doesn't sound very good doesn't it. I know. But hear me out. In case you are one of those people that get inspired easily...

Hi Reader, If you are part of my community for a while you know I love everthing about mindset, brain training and living your creativity and positive self. While my focus is mainly on sewing, quilting and home decor I'm also very passionate about brain training and the upcoming event is the best example why I'm so passionate about it. Well, if you are even just a bit curious about living a more joyful and balanced life then don't miss this wonderful event starting AUSTRALIAN TIME - THURSDAY...

Hi Reader, I know I've been quiet but I'm working on a lot of things behind the scenes. The biggest challenge for me as an entrepreneur is currently to find my message and where I fit in. The realm of sewing is huge and most people divide the sewing knowledge into two worlds - Dressmaking and Quilting. But what if there is another world. A world that holds endless potential to combine, create and explore? Like a connecting thread between those 2 worlds. Combined with the power of being a...

Hi Reader, I hope you had a wonderful Christmas and some relaxing days off to rejuvenate for the coming New Year. 2024 is here and I'm excited to dive into this new year and dearly hope that all our wishes and dreams will come true. Whilst I love this festive season I have come to realize that working in retail takes a little bit of the magic away, unfortunately. The relaxing time is suddenly not as relaxing as I remember it from those days when I worked in the office. LOL Even with all that...
