Which Came First?

The chicken or the egg? In this case it’s the chicken. Here’s the very beginning of a chicken leg: It’s quiet around here today because I’m creating. Thinking of you though I’m busy making my very first recycleart project and it. is. FUN. Totally inspired by Robert Bradford’s ‘Plastic’ sculptures. I’ve got 2 wardrobes full [...]

Six Things I’m Loving Today

My Sussie Skin Care Package: This arrived for me on the weekend and I am in love. My favourite product is the eye cream Toucha’ Love. I started using it on Monday because I am having a fierce reaction to something in Invercargill. It’s like hay fever symptoms quadrupled. I found myself on Sunday having to [...]

Come Go With Me

We carried on exploring our local surroundings on Saturday. It was amazing. Do you often explore the area where you live? After a week of horrendous weather, we woke up and saw the sun shining down on us and knew we weren’t staying in. No point in wasting a beautiful day! This time we headed [...]

Exploring Southland

This is the little lamb I rescued yesterday. We almost ran him over! He had somehow managed to find himself on the other side of the farm’s fence and was running around lost on the road. He was so scared, you could hear him crying for his Mummy. I put him back on the other [...]

How I Spent My Birthday: A Day in the Life of Me

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.
