Thanks for checking out my first post on TeaForTammi. Tammi, the person who the Tea was initially brewed for, is going to be a very busy girl for the next few months and she’s been awesome enough to let me write on her beautiful blog.

I often find my monkey brain wondering about the most absurd things in life. Sometimes they’re just silly things, truly first world problems like:

Being Sick Sucks.

I think it’s a bit self-explanatory, no?

For some stupid reason, I’ve been struck down by the flu, and I’m in she-hulk mode. (HULK SMASH..potatoes?)Everything annoys me, I’m always STARVING, and I can’t do jack except curl up under the covers and watch my life flash before my eyes.

3 Things I wish my parents knew when I was a teenager

Musings June 2, 2015

They say that in order to be a good artist, you have to go through pain. But I’ve always had parents who love me and support me, and I’ve always been provided for with the utmost care, with an amazing family.

But at the risk of sounding like an ingrate, I’m still carrying baggage from when I was a teenager. It wasn’t perfect (nothing is!) and looking back, I think there are many things I just wish they knew when I was a teenager, that will hopefully help one day when I have to deal with a teenager of my own.

Crochet Crushes on Tea For Tammi: Amigurumi!

Sometimes, I like to call myself a granny in disguise. I love all the domestic arts – knitting, crocheting, sewing etc – and I’m constantly on the lookout for new, creative things to do with them! Amigurumi is the art of crocheting little dolls and toys, and I must say that I am OBSESSED.

Here are my current amigurumi crushes, from all around the web! =)

The Beauty in Birdcages

Musings April 7, 2015

Birdcages suspended between buildings in Sydney's Angel Place

I’ve recently been very inspired by all things ornate and flowery. Maybe it’s my late blooming entry into traditional feminity, or maybe these are just so gosh darned pretty. Either way, it’s resulted in an increasing obesession in birdcages.

It’s such a strange thing, because by definition, birdcages were meant to restrain, to trap, and yet they hold so much beauty – both in their designs, and the birds that they hold.
