Positivity and creativity are my passions. I'm here to share how I live my life with happiness and simplicity as my goals.

You can find me making soap, exercising, baking & cooking, organising cupboards, crafting up a messy messy storm, digging in the garden or sewing the latest quilt.  Everyone always needs more quilts, right?

Thank you! High fives!

Kitchen light for pickles. #bottling #grannysmythspickles
It was a rather large kitchen day today. Cookies, sweet muffins, savoury muffins,
Roast beef and prep brining for zucchini and cucumber pickle tomorrow. Yums all round. #tiffxo
Noodling with recipes this morning and found a site to profile the nutrition of a recipe I’m fiddling with. Off to the left is a plug-in-your-details profiler. And that’s a big ‘fuck you’ from me. Muscle weighs more than fat. This site thinks my body is ‘BAD’ because of the weight vs height. This body rides a bike, lifts weights and kicks butt at karate. My body and I don’t rule by numbers. We rule by how high we can kick, how strong our legs are, how low we can squat and how great it makes us feel. @natalie___rhi #fuckflattering  @jameelajamilofficial @i_weigh #sorryfortheswearsMum
Hi, my name is Amy. I picked up my bike from the shop today and also picked up this spectacular bar tape. Big weekend coming up folks. Ps the mechanic at bike shop said ‘YOU NEVER, EVER BLEED THESE BRAKES AGAIN HOKAY?’ Okay. #hyrd
Life’s too short for boring paper clips. @ourmatesfarm
My name is Amy and I borked my bike. Tonight I borked my glasses too, by doing nothing more than taking them off. Granted, they’re older than Lady Pippa but they’re my FAVOURITES and #fcuk don’t make these frames anymore. To the optometrist we go for mending! Yes, I have a spare pair. #phew #bikeisfixedthankfark
Don’t bork your bike folks. Or perhaps more accurately don’t run Hy/Rd brakes. More finicky than a Disney princess. #ridelikeagirl
7 yo Biggest kid smashed these library books out in 6 days. This, my friends is why we’re on first name terms with our local library staff. #reading #kidswhoread
Enough said. #idomyownstunts #trekcrossripltd
I just bled my hydraulic disc brakes for the first time. Yikes. #ridelikeagirl #mineraloilerrrywhere #lotsofswearing #idomyownstunts #trekcrossripltd
I’ve been seeing loads of posts about supporting the produce businesses south of Huonville. However slightly to the west of Huonville is Alpen Growers (@jeruwi and @ja50n70) - purveyors of blueberries, cherries and all good things. The Riveaux Road fire burned through their entire road (up Bermuda and Dickensons Creek Roads), and thankfully their home and most crops were spared. However they weren’t able to export a lot of their picked blueberries due to evacuation. Jen has been selling locally and it’s been a pleasure to support a local business and fill my freezer to gorge on blueberries all winter. Who else is there that we need to know about in the area? Also pictured: amazing almond meal blueberry muffins. #tasmania #eatlocal #blueberries @eatwelltasmania #alpengrowers
Resembles a choc chip cookie but is not your average joe. Tahini choc chip cookies from @tiffhall_xo - and delicious. Tahini, rolled oats, egg, rice syrup, salt and some cheeky choc chips - that’s it. 💯 #tahini #tiffxofood #tiffxo
Hooray! I treated ma’self and purchased some of Erin @goddessnaturalperfume ‘s beautiful perfume today after she let me have a sniff. Check out her packaging. This woman has got it all sorted and I smell amazing. @ladystartups #goddessnaturalperfume #handmadeintasmania #handmade #perfume
Late night weights and #fighter with a helper. Custard: Always Ready To ‘Help’. #tiffxo #fighter
They’re open! They’re open! Peaches and nectarines for school lunches are go thanks to Cane’s Orchards just outside Franklin. We had to negotiate with a police roadblock to get through but I’m so glad we did. Please please spend your money locally and support your community. #tasbushfires2019 #canesorchard #tasmania #fruit
Late night pattern cutting. Another @swoonpatterns - after two years of every day use my Swoon Sydney is starting to degrade. I found the willy wagtail fabric and knew it was meant to be. Chatting with my bestie on the phone and cutting out fabric = great night. #swoonbrooklyn #tasbushfires2019 #sewing #craftyhandsmustmakethings
Goodnight my valley. I hope we can see you more clearly tomorrow and you feel a bit less red and ouchy. #tasbushfires2019 #smokehazefordayz
There’s ash falling from the sky, it’s so smoky. I live next door to this. The owners don’t live down here and had promised they were putting cattle on this. They didn’t. It’s too hard to put up a temporary fence to keep the cows out - as we’ve already experienced. They clearly don’t give a shit about fire risk. We have brush cut a perimeter, but the risk still exists. It makes me feel angry and sad that we have the extra burden of someone else’s slack ethic or inability to understand risk. #bushfires #tasmaniabushfires2019 #slashyourgoddamnedpaddock
Stole some time, just for me. First bike ride in 7 weeks - 10km and I earned every kilometre today. There’s finally clearer skies but still smoke floating around. But oh, my heart. Legs aching, body aching but it’s great to be back at it. It’s surreal to be cycling past helicopters landing, refuelling and refilling to head out again saving homes and bush. It’s also strange that after three weeks this feels like a new norm. #tasbushfires2019 #bushfires #tasmania #gcnkit #ridelikeagirl
Yep. It’s true. I’m completely exhausted but we are ok. #tasmaniabushfires #tasbushfires2019 #mindsetreset #huonvalley #myphonewontletmeswear
