We don't really have a choice right now!

Every mum can relate to this.
Juggling jobs, children with school and sports, household and all other society commitments is challenging on it's own. The moment we personally get sick and our body is not doing what it supposed to, the perfect organized world collapses for a moment.

Luckily most conditions are only temporary. Right now, I am hoping that I will operate as normal in a few months time. Using my breaks wisely is a must at this stage and resting needs to be a priority between my normal job and parenting.
Sending you love from near and far. Claudia

Long distance love on Mother's Day 🌹

Celebrating our heroes today🫂 Motherhood is a unique experience and the bond we have with our children and mothers is one of the most precious gifts in life.

Many of us are grateful for living in this beautiful country.
We have made the decision to move to the other side of the world for happiness but paid the price to live long distance relationships with our families.

I personally had a very strong bond with both grandma's and carry the best memories for the rest of my life.
Even more I am sad that my son doesn't get the opportunity to grow up the way I did, with the constant quality time amongst all generations. Let's raise a glass to all missed Mama's from near and far🍷

When was the last time you managed to escape the future?! 🌜

Imagine the world as it was yesterday with no AI.
Phones were only used for phone calls and people still sat with strangers to have conversations or share craft projects without filming the entire experience.

I personally still embrace this beautiful world we lived in.
When offering craft experiences to councils, venues or even larger corporations - I want the public to join me in my little time machine and just be in the moment for 2 hours.
This feeling and what you create with your hands in pieceful company will live on for a very long time.

This beautiful photo of mother and daughter was taken at our previous outdoor experience at Elizabeth Quay in Perth WA.
All ages were mingling at the harbour to design a mini wind chime in their own time.

I look forward to more special moments like this with you in person in 2026. Love, Founder Clauds

The beauty of multigenerational outings - The Dance Edition🎸

When you plan a day out with the family, what are your first thoughts? Keeping the kids occupied seems to be number one in most cases.⏳

Do you know what my goal is with each public event I attend as part of the community entertainment?

To keep my program engaging and fun for all ages. My projects are NOT limited to any group. I want seniors and kids to hang out together. Create memories and most importantly take home a "handmade piece of joy". Always a day out to remember.

My expectation of event organizers will always be, "Ensure I have room for wheelchairs, enough seating and an oversized creative corner to hang out with the crowds. "

At this years Sunset Beats Wembley we designed music instruments with the locals. We unwind when crafting, dance and tune in with the band once the masterpiece is completed.

Another successful event done and dusted.
Thank you to photographer legend Stephen Heath Photography for capturing the best moments of this awesome annual event, proudly sponsored by the Town of Cambridge.

Definitely a must go for next year peeps! We loved every minute of it.
