My name is Mirella Roberts and I am a 35 year old stay-at-home wife and mother.
My favourite past time is to create/change pictures on the computer and put together slideshows. My dream would be to start my own business from home.
I'm not much of an outdoorsy person, I love to either be on the computer, doing a sudoku, flicking through a house magazine or re-arranging rooms (again and again)....all while having a hot cuppa tea of course. Did I mention that I am addicted to drinking tea? and coffee, and wine and.....well I think you get the idea!
My family and I, originally from the Sunshine Coast in Queensland, Australia, moved to Mackay for 12 months during 2011 and have just recently returned home again. While in Mackay, not knowing anybody, I decided to get out the sewing machine (which was still in the box since being given to me as a gift from my mother and mother-in-law 4 months earlier) and give sewing a go. I found that even though I might not be a very good sewer (can't draw a straight line let alone sew one) I seemed to find some sort of inspiration and fulfilment in my life again. Not just from sewing, but going to markets and being inspired by all the wonderful and creative people out there, and also by finding some fantastic websites that allowed me to enjoy cataloguing the things I love (namely www.pinterest.com.au). I got addicted to simply pinning pictures of all the things I wanted to make, do, buy, say, feel, hear and see. And with that I was off and creating, maybe not much, maybe nothing exciting to others, but to me it was a good feeling of achievement which doesn't come around everyday for me!
So in saying that, I hope you enjoy seeing and reading about some of the things that I have done that have given me that fulfilment, and hope that it might just inspire you too !!!
