Hello! 👋
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Big welcome to the rural and regional women who have followed me over the past month, after finding me through my work for Rural Women’s Day. 👩🏽‍🌾
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
Just thought I would do a little ‘About Me’ so you can get to know me better!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I’m Geelong (VIC) born-and-bred, but my family moved to Hamilton (South-West VIC) when I was 11, so they are both home to me. I had a brief stint in Brisbane, QLD, over 2015-16 but I missed family and seasons so I traded palm trees🌴 for parkas 🧥 and moved home.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I originally majored in Film & Television and Drama at The University of QLD for a year, but it wasn’t for me. I completed my Bachelor of Arts (Professional and Creative Writing) at Deakin University last year and decided to do my Honours online in the middle of a pandemic ... 🤔🤦🏽‍♀️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ After graduating and moving home last year, I was a regional journalist for a local paper. Writing for the Rural section was my absolute favourite, alongside features — but news writing just didn’t click with me. Amazing experience, but I parted ways with that role which led me to ...
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ Now working full-time with my mum, multi-creative extraordinaire Sarah Hope, with our atelier and ceramics business Hope & Co. _hopeandco_ 👩🏽‍🎨 I have my hands in clay pretty much every day and it’s a dream.
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I live with my partner Haavard, and our two fur babies Piper (German Shorthaired Pointer X) and Maverick (Border Collie). 🏡♥️
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I LOVE horses. 🐴 I’ve embraced my childhood passion with less internalised shame as an adult 😂 I have an OTTB paddock ornament, Mickey, who was a 21st present and lives at my parents’ farm. I miss riding like crazy!
⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀
✨ I’m a singer-songwriter! It was supposed to be my career, but nowadays just a hobby that makes me happy. 🎶

🌈MAKE-YOUR-OWN suncatcher kits now available via my Etsy shop and website! Buy individual kits (Blue: $15.50, Rainbow: $18.50, Fire: $14.50) or save 10% and buy a 3-pack for $43.🌈

Such a fun, simple and magical activity for adults and children alike during these school holidays, especially now that Spring is here and the sun is starting to emerge. 🌤🌿🌺

Once complete you simply hang in a window with direct sunlight (or even outside if you wish!) and enjoy the myriad of rainbows dancing around the room. 🌈

Each kit comes with everything you need:
✨ 1 x high-quality, rainbow-making crystal prism
✨7 - 11 x sparkly coloured glass beads
✨1m x fishing line
✨ Easy-to-follow instructions
✨1 x suction cup hook for easy hanging on your window (though if your children like creating “disco rainbows” it may be a good idea to hang from something a little more permanent! 😆)

I am seriously so excited about these “Make-your-own” kits! Children LOVE the sparkles and rainbows, but often find that my metal/chain creations are out of their price-range and/or require specialised tools and skills to create. But now they can create their own!

LOCALS - Avoid postage costs and order via Direct Message. Available for pick-up in Cavendish OR $2 delivery to Hamilton township addresses on Monday afternoon (21 September). MUST order and pay by 12pm Monday. Message me for payment details. 🌈🌺💖✨

Jarid enjoyed his @cafe_gray_ chicken salad when he was in the region capturing some videos to be in our beautiful microvideo series!

A perfect lunch on the go to fuel exploration.
