if you missed my community email earlier this month - I talked about my word for 2024 and how unsexy and unfun it is.... SHEDDING 😳
Hello 2024
It’s been a minute! Despite my best intentions to touch base and do a little work during the summer, I decided to instead enjoy the holidays with my kids. And although I am a little behind work-wise, I don’t regret it. (#sorrynotsorry) The terrible trio are now 15, 13 and 11. When I first began LilliBean Designs, the kids were just babies toddling around the studio, but as each summer rolls around I become very … Continue reading Hello 2024

ROUND HERE AND ASK ME A QUESTION
R O U N D . H E R E The winter holiday break is over for another year, and just like last year, we jammed as much as we possibly could into the two weeks while trying to balance the need for rest and reset to be ready for an already busy term three. There were many highlights, but some of my fav’s were heading out to the hills where we cooked sausages on the … Continue reading ROUND HERE AND ASK ME A QUESTION
I HATE HILLS…. MY DAILY STRUGGLE.
· R O U N D . H E R E · I want to share a story with you today about hills. Yes, you read that correctly - HILLS.  I hate them. And the irony of moving to my valley town and buying a house on a hill is not lost on me. It doesn’t matter the size of the hill - it could be a steep mountain or a gentle incline - … Continue reading I HATE HILLS…. MY DAILY STRUGGLE.

LIFE SNIPPETS (stories from around here)
Today I woke to the sound of rain. We have a balcony off our bedroom that has a laser light roof. The rain steadily falling against it resembles the old tin roof homes I grew up in. The sound of rain is one of my favourite sounds in the world. It is right up there with the sound of the ocean, the 'mopoke' call at my grans during the night, the chattering of magpies in … Continue reading LIFE SNIPPETS (stories from around here)
My New Studio Companion
Two weeks ago our little family was changed forever. On a cold and rainy Saturday Mac popped over to the neighbouring town and came home with Mac’s and my best-kept secret! Previous to this Saturday afternoon, the terrible trio has for months been asking, pleading and slyly pointing out that we need a pet. Bean told me she would pick up the poo. Bug told me she would love it. Beastie told me she would … Continue reading My New Studio Companion
