About me

Hi there!
For 7 years I've conjured up believable excuses to avoid starting a blog, but I've finally run out, and so.....I'm the new kid on the blog!
In short, I'm from Sydney Australia and you may call me Liv!
I'm also one of 5 kids to loving parents who clock up 40 years of marital bliss this year; I've lived in 2 states, 3 major cities and 21 homes; I have visited 11 countries; begun 4 university degrees, finished one (hooray!); married once and only once ( a bloody funny bloke, even if i'm the only one who laughs at his jokes); given birth to 4 beautiful babies (carried 5); I've made and drunk millions of coffees......and I'm not even a "numbers type", I'm the "home-made, crafty type".

My life is simple but it's daily ramblings are lawless, well, that is until hubby comes home and then it resembles something more like ordered chaos with a splash of military discipline (and a lot of laughs).
I am an artist with a Ba in Fine Arts, a thrifter (or as my niece puts it, a scab), a lover of all things handmade and I particularly love to marvel the mundane.

I aim to use this blog as a springboard for my art, a pin board for inspiration and a space to share all that is precious to me and my family.
There is little doubt that we all remember the magic: the overseas trip, the new house, the surprise birthday party, but often we overlook the little things or those precious moments that make up 95% of our days and a lifetime of memories. So I want to marvel and recall the mundane for my kids and hopefully inspire other bloggers to do the same. Other than that I'm not exactly sure what else it is I have to offer the blogosphere, but I do know I have a propensity to talk (a lot) and a big capacity to love and share all that my heart leaps at.
...and I've just discovered that I use far too many '( )', '.....' and '!!!!'     (....sorry!)

I hope you pop by often and enjoy my digression from your and my daily chores.

With love
Liv xo
