About Me

I'm a 30-something year old Polish mum to a 7 year old boy and a 1 year old girl, living in Melbourne Australia.

I have grown up surrounded by craft and art and started my first scrapbook when I was in primary school (elementary). I still have that scrapbook. It's not exactly what you would call fancy, but it was all of my worldly possessions at the time and I love looking through it.

I love to craft and I love getting random surprises in the mail from strangers. It always makes me wonder about the person and place it came from. And then I get itchy feet and want to travel again!

I'm kind of an all-round creative person and like to give things a try at least once. However, I do have my favourites and sewing is definitely up there along with all types of paper-craft.

I hand make toys (for little people and big) and I enjoy making quirky postcards. I love sewing clothes, making journals, altered art, upcycling, vintage and crochet.

I love giving the gift of handmade. It's so much more personal and meaningful.

Here's a list of some of my fave things: *typography *dia de los muertos (day of the dead) *bunnies *tea (cups and pots) *vintage *old pictures from children's picture books (esp Golden Books) *colours - red, yellow, greeny-blues *kawaii *strange, bizarre, unusual, unique, made-up or supernatural *postcards

Be happy and creative, Magdalena

Favorite Crafts

I love to SEW softies, knick-knacks, clothes and anything that I can imagine in fabric! Machine sewing and hand stitching are both passions.

I PAPERCRAFT and if I could I would make my whole world out of paper. If it just weren't for the darn rain, it would all be ok!

Scrapbooking, making cards, hand made postcards, journals, altered projects.

Favorite Television

Game of Thrones (hurry up season 4), Downton Abbey, Offspring (Aussie TV series), Underbelly (Aussie TV series), Madmen, home reno shows

Comment: Thank you so much for your letter and the little extras. I always love hearing from fellow Aussies. My Mum is Polish and came out to Australia with her Mum on their own when she was 9 years old (many years ago now). I will definitely write back soon.
Response: Oh wow! Sounds like we have a little in common ;). I look forward to hearing back from you.
