So remember how I said I had a photoshoot day last Wednesday with a friend? Yeah I did four cakes for that. Well, I mean, I did *two*, but then I pulled all the decorations off and started again so there would be four sets of Things To Photograph 😀 I absolutely *adore* working with […]

I live in the land of kangaroos and quolls and sugar gliders, okay? Animals like bears and skunks and raccoons and porcupines are literally the stuff of storybooks. Lots of them 😛 (Cultural colonisation, y’all, like whoa.) SO. I was today years old when I learned what porcupines who really don’t want to share their

Or, a post in which I persist in typing ‘hollidays’ >.< So anyway, it’s spring break now in Australia-land, not that anyone in Australia land calls it that, but woo hoo! Two full, glorious weeks in which I do not have to attend my place of employ! (I’m not going to say ‘in which I

Been a while since I’ve done a cake, but here we go! Another cement + yellow flowers cake because I had the cement-style icing in the freezer from the last one :’D This, let me tell you, is a DELICIOUS, DELICIOUS cake: it’s a GF chocolate mud (so soft, so tasty) with real strawberries and

So I don’t watch a lot of tv usually, because life, and time, and what even is all of the above. However, recently, in a fit of pique over the amount of unpaid overtime I do, I decided to, y’know, actually watch a show. My sister rec’ed Brooklyn 99, and away I went. I watched
It’s been a long time since I made words creatively, so to celebrate the fact that last weekend I added a few hundred words to a short story I’ve been picking away at for years, I thought I’d share the first half of that story here 🙂 Hope you enjoy it! Warm steam filled the

Reposting this because: topical. My friend’s daughter was told in class last week that she would never be successful because she didn’t speak ‘proper’ English.
