About Me

G’day, I’m Jenni and welcome to my site!


Who I am
~ 45 y/o single mum. He's all grown up now and left the nest so I guess that makes me an single empty nester.
~ Bargain hunter, design lover, and incurable craft-a-holic.

Where I live
~ In a rental home.
~ Queensland Australia.

What I did
~ Stay at home mum for 14 years.
~ Balloon-a-tick for 3 years.
~ Shop assistant at a curtain shop for 2 months until I aggravated an old injury so was laid off.


What I'm doing
~ Taking time off studying for my Bachelor of Multi Media at CQ University Rockhampton.
~ Looking into self employment options 

What I like
~ Crafts.
~ Home deco.
~ Do-it-yourself projects.
~ Shopping at thrift stores, flea markets, Freecycle, Swap Meets and even at the local dump/tip, with an eye for transforming and re purposing found objects.
~ Power tools.
~ Paint.
~ Jewellery making.
~ Blogs: yeah I’m a blog stalker.
~ Family research.
~ Researching medieval times. I'm an on again, off again member of the SCA (Society of Creative Anachronism) and paid member of a Viking reenactment group. Banquets, Mead, Fire Dancing, Combat... oh yeah
~ Rust

What I dislike
~ Brand new furniture: there’s just no character in new stuff and the craftsmanship is not like it used to be.

Decorating style
~ This has changed many times from Country to Shabby Chic and Modern Country with a Fench influence. Hopefully my current style is the one. I've become drawn to Old world Tuscan with a touch of upcycled chic, bit of rust, and loads of one off furniture character.

If there is anything you’d like to know about me then just ask, I won’t bite

So once again, WELCOME
