Links I Love from November
Welcome back to another Links I Love post where I share some of my favourite links from the previous month. Today I am looking back at some of the great posts that I saw during November.

Cool Christmas Wine Glasses
Don’t buy Christmas wine glasses! Turn ordinary wine glasses into cute Christmas wine glasses in a flash. This method is quick, easy, and cheap!

I actually got the … [Read more...]

January Gardening 2014: What’s Going on in My Garden
Now that Christmas has been and gone for another year and the New Year is upon us it’s time to turn our attention to January gardening tasks! January and February tend to be the hottest months of summer here in Victoria. So this month we will be focusing on keeping our garden as cool and well watered as we can. We have had a couple of days here and there where the temperature has been over 35 °C and some plants have struggled a bit. But it will only get hotter over the next couple of months … [Read more...]
