A Round Tuit 238

Welcome to the last linky party of 2014!
 A place where you can link up your posts and creations, and be inspired by others.
Although I'll be travelling for the first few weeks of 2015, I hope you'll still stop by and link up your projects. I'll be checking them out when I return!


Tuits are very hard to come by, especially the round ones. For years people have been saying, "I'll do it as soon as I get a round tuit". Well now you can have one of your very own, and all those jobs that have needed doing will finally get done!

Link up your own projects - old or new - no rules - just share your creativity and inspiration!

I'd love if you grabbed the button - then you can have your very own Round Tuit!

Saturday Spotlight

Welcome to the last Saturday Spotlight for the year!

It will also be the last for a few weeks as I'll be away travelling in Asia! 

First of all some crafty features:

DIY cork coasters from Emily Franceschini, DIY Paper Lamps by Hooked on Homes, DIY Scrabble Tile Coasters from Simply Darrling and Little Fishy Soft Toy from Vicky Myers Creations.

And some tasty things too!

Smoky Pecan Pimento Cheese from Yesterfood, Jalapeno Bacon Devilled Eggs from You Brew My Tea, Cajun Shrimp Gumbo Fritters from Southern Krazed and Breakfast Bake with a Hash brown crust from Living with Erica.

Hope you enjoyed all those features! 

I'd like to wish everyone a very 

Happy New Year!

All the best for a fabulous 2015. I hope you'll continue to stop by and link up your projects each week!

Meet Mitch the turtle!

Meet Mitch the Turtle!

He arrived at our house a few days ago from the WWF.

Through the sales of my new ebook of eco-friendly shopping bag patterns and tutorials I am now sponsoring a turtle through the WWF with a monthly donation.

$1 from each of my ebooks sold contributes towards this.

Mitch also brought with him this rather cool fold up shopping bag:

Upcycled from old plastic bottles !

I decided to call him Mitch thanks to the suggestion of a good friend. I few days ago here in Cairns, 6 turtles were rescued from being tangled in a ghost net off the coast by a Customs Boat. You can read the story here. The customs boat was called The Dame Roma Mitchell, so I took the name Mitch from that as it seemed a good fit! Thanks Michelle for your great naming suggestion!

 I wanted to once again thank those who have already bought my e-book and so contributed towards sponsoring this endangered animal and so helping to ensure their survival.

If you would like to purchase a copy of my e-book for just the cost of a cup of coffee - click here!

Thanks for your support.

Merry Chrismas

Here's wishing everyone a very Merry Christmas!

We're spending the day in and around the pool on a hot summer's day.

Hope you all have a fabulous day wherever you are and whatever the weather!
