blog this :: challenge 23 :: your dream house

ok so this challenge was easy for me to find the perfect pictures to share with you all as i watched a show about richard branson's island home a few years ago and remember at that time thinking..... that is where i want to live. so here's a few snaps for you to drool over..........

i love a clean house, but hate chemicals......

.....so i discovered this amazing range of cleaning products from Murchison Hume in Sydney.

I have been trying to lead a chemical free existance since finding out i was pregnant with my twin girls. firstly because i didn't want to do anything that was going to harm them, but also because i developed a severe sensitivity to strong smells while pregnant.

researching on the net i discovered this range and ordered them. they are divine..... so gorgeous to look at, they smell natural and fresh and they really do work!! another bonus is they are produced here in australia.

Check out the range

i love finding new products to use around the house and clinic that are chemical free and eco friendly.....

what do you use??

have a fabulous day xx

blog this :: challenge 22 :: a $USD 200 spending spree???

this blog is going to be a mixture of personal blogging with my business thoughts and ideas that I'd like to share.... i thought I would join "blog this" as a way of connecting with others in the blogging world as well as thinking about their challenges  :)

so to answer this I'd have to say fabric, fabric and more fabric!!!
I cannot get enough of it at the moment and am lapping it up while the exchange rate is so good!! I love sewing for my twins girls as well as making bags for my friends and family...

here are a few (hmmmmm) fabrics I've got my eye on!!!

Definately am spending my $200 over a couple of times :)
