The Inspiration

Spotty like a spotted thing. We’re making seriously impressive progress now. The kids have decided they want to join in too so they’ve been given odd jobs to help us out. Isn’t it great when kids want to help so badly that they’re happy to pick up rubbish or attempt to vacuum? I would feel [...]

Mini Makover – Home Edition (I Can’t Afford an Extreme One)

I figure because life goes on and I have plans, I will continue to use my blog as a motivational tool to help me get through the bits and pieces I want to do. I really want to join in with the 30 Days of Me blogs that are happening right now but I have [...]

Introducing you to Decorating with Laurence Llewelyn-Bowen

I headed to my local library yesterday. I was in search of Eckhart Tolle’s A New Earth, I figured it was about time I read it for myself after having it recommended by numerous people. Unfortunately it was checked out so I browsed the entire non-fiction section instead and came away with four books. Last [...]

Today’s Favourite Finds

How lucky am I? This is what greeted me in the mail today. It’s a small package from fellow artist Amy Mackiewicz. Thank you Amy! Totally unexpected but also completely adored. I think I’ll kick back with my mag tomorrow morning and I’ll definitely be making good use of my Christmas and recipe cards! My [...]

Allow Me to Reintroduce Myself...

My name is Chavah. They say for a relationship to work you need a dreamer and a realist. I am the dreamer. My dreams are what I MAKE my reality. I am passionately curious, sometimes awkward and I have a somewhat ridiculous but infectious laugh. I live in the deep south of New Zealand, married to my realist husband. I need him, he keeps it real... like realists do. I spend my days raising four out-going children, it's as exhausting as one would imagine. Currently I live and breathe transforming my body into a powerful weapon. It's my new found love, so if you need me - find me at the gym. Actually don't, I dislike talking while I'm training. I've been described as eccentric, I quite like that. The definition of eccentric is 'deviating from the recognized or customary character, practice'; that sounds about right. I'm the crazy creative type, well actually I'm not that crazy. I know exactly what's up but I am creative. I'm an Artist that's exhibited extensively throughout NZ and sold pieces internationally but right now I'm busy raising children so instead my creative tendencies have been refocused on up-cycling furniture, redecorating my home, event planning and writing.

Stick around to read all about it.
