baking + mexican signs + drowned in coffee

It's been a bit quiet around here of late due to my new venture of a part-time job working for Little Boat Espresso. One of my gorgeous ladies,Sara has recently opened a cafe/espresso bar at Marcoola on the Sunshine Coast & I've taken on the role as 'baking whore-learning zee art of coffee-dish piglet-mexican sign making lady' & I've been enjoying it thoroughly! Not only is it a fun place to work,I'm learning new skills + challenging myself in a different avenue of creativity + oh! it's a bit of extra cash in my pocket for adventures.

But alas! The past few weeks I've put Millie on the back burner,until now. This Sunday we're setting the shanty shop up at The Village Markets,Burleigh Heads and having a huge-gantic SALE on all clothing with up to 50% off the original price! The sale is to make way for new assembled cloth for Spring/Summer.I'm inspired + motivated + very excited about getting back into making again after almost a month elsewhere.My brain is overflowing with fresh ideas & my hands ready to create!

I'm also preparing for my upcoming exhibition which will be at Little Boat from 630pm on the 25th August.So much going on at the moment & it's been brilliant.


Drop by this Sunday at The Village Markets if you're around Burleigh Heads or if you're wandering through the neighbourhood & nab yourself a handmade bargain.Thankyou everybody for your support,it means a huge amount to me.


Love + Light

skulls + flowers

Inspired by a gorgeous photo I found on the internets I spent a late night drawing this little guy. I've been so busy lately & have been really craving to just sit with my sketch book & draw for hours.Last night I finally got some time to do that & it felt fucking amazing! I'm happy with this drawing & will probably make some limited edition prints of it soon.

Last week I did a shoot for the gorgeous girls,Sara + Dom at Little Boat Espresso + VOS Boutique.In addition to the shoot which was done for media purposes,I also made them up a small advertisement for both businesses [as they're sharing the same space].The outcome,they were happy & so was I! Cool bananas.

Find VOS Boutique + Little Boat Espresso online at Facebook or pop by at #3 Lorraine Ave. Marcoola,Sunshine Coast for both a fashion + coffee fix.

bored cheese

This is a cheeseboard update! Since starting my adventure into woodworking I've managed to craft just over 20 beautiful little boards from both reclaimed river oak + silky oak.

The process has been exciting as I've always wanted to work with different timbers & other junk.I'm learning as I go & to my bliss,everybody has been really supportive of my newest creations.THANKYOU!!!

I'm looking into more possibilities for different woodworking ideas & at this point they're endless,but I need more practice,skills & equipment! But keep yer eyes peeled for further updates involving new reclaimed timber creative goodness.

The sun burnt it's little heart out on Sunday to provide us with a gorgeous + warm winter Sunday at The Village Markets,Burleigh Heads.

I rocked up with my newly crafted cheeseboards in hand & they were a hit! A huge thankyou to those who purchased these little wooden crafty goodies,it's motivated me to make more!

Also,thankyou to everybody who popped by the stall to have a browse,share their support + purchase some creative goodness! We really appreciate it. We won't be at TVM until the 2nd market in July,but til then I'll be busy making more bits & pieces which will be available online.

I also managed to nab this little beautiful old tin from a fellow stall holder for $2! I'm a bit excited.hihi!

Muchos love + light!

No more dying hands & fingers for me.
