http://zaranne-handmade.blogspot.com/2015_02_01_archive.html
Friday, 27 February 2015. Another day, another dress. I trialled a new op-shopped pattern for this dress (McCalls 5084) and instead of my usual floral fabric choice I went with this blue and white stripe. It's a lovely, light cotton. perfect for pairing with a tan leather belt and my favourite tan Lotta clogs. Saturday, 21 February 2015. Vintage sheet FQ swap 2015. Looking back through my blog it's been well over a year. September 2013 to be exact. Place your FQs into a pre-paid parcel satchel. also ...

http://zaranne-handmade.blogspot.com/2015/07/the-winter-garden.html
Thursday, 30 July 2015. Our new home brought with it a new garden. a lovely level block with a good few established fruit tress and plenty of shrubs and succulents (and the simply stunning Sturt Desert Peas sprouting under the Hills Hoist). One of the first things on our 'to do' list was to get a few plants in the ground so they could get growing and producing. Vegie seeds are planted in a concrete sink topped with an old window. We've fertilised, pruned and mulched the oranges, lemon, cumquot and fig.

Sunday, 19 April 2015. I have my first sour dough starter up and going. every day I had a spoonful or two of flour and a splash of water and it seems happy enough bubbling away.

What lovely things have ...

Zaranne Handmade: simple cleaning
http://zaranne-handmade.blogspot.com/2015/05/simple-cleaning.html
Monday, 25 May 2015. For the past little while I've been slowly cutting down on the purchasing of cleaning products. underneath the kitchen sink which was once full of bottles and cans (with their warning labels and expensive price tags) now instead sits dishwashing liquid, a jar of bicarb-soda, a bottle or two of vinegar, along with a some essential oils. These staples see me through most cleaning now. Tile and wooden floor cleaner. To a bucket of hot water add. A squirt of dishwashing liquid. Add a goo...

Zaranne Handmade: June 2015
http://zaranne-handmade.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, 12 June 2015. Things have been a bit quiet here on the blog of late, but it's not been quiet in life's happenings. And today we got to pick up the keys and have a good look around. The house is a simple 2 bedroom home with mostly original mint-coloured kitchen and bathroom and a quaint outdoor (part of the back verandah) laundry and second loo. There's a mismatch of carpets, cream paint and a rather unsightly suspended ceiling but the bones are good and as I look around all I see is potential.
