Up They Pop!!!

It has been a busy week in the garden.  I have filled my vegetable boxes with layers of horse manure and hay ( thank you Danni) and have planted four of them so far..... some with seedlings and others with seeds.  My aim is to eventually only use seeds but there is only so much time at present and there is so much to do establishing the boxes and also the surrounding garden beds.

I have planted peas, beans, lettuce, leeks,carrots, radishes, celery, parsnips, onions and garlic. Still lots more to be done and I am loving every minute of it!!!!

SUMMER SEWING

Summer Dress
With Christmas behind us and New Year approaching it's time to think forward to January and school holiday classes. 

The Summer Dressmaking classes are designed for the girls to begin sewing their own clothes. The Summer Sewing Classes are designed to learn or to revise machine sewing and hand sewing skills. 

I am keeping the class numbers down to five and have increased the time to allow us to learn and enjoy in a relaxed atmosphere.  The girls don't need any experience for these classes.  

To book please call or text on 0414644684 or email to juliehinkssewingstudio@gmail.com

Gentle Rythym

 My life has settled into a gentle rhythm.  It is wonderful to reach a time in your life when you can make choices of how you would like to spend your days.  I have always wished to become more self sufficient , to spend my days baking, gardening, sewing  and working around the home. To choose not to buy stuff and to live a more frugal and satisfying life. I receive great pleasure for example ( thanks to Rhonda Hetzel and her wonderful book "Down to Earth" from making my own laundry liquid, cooking from scratch and eating what I grow in the garden.



Sundays are for relaxing with my husband, Rod........ to enjoy the view from our outdoor area as we read the Sunday papers and wind down after a busy week.   

Mondays for household chores, shopping, etc etc

Tuesdays are for, designing, creating, sewing and pattern writing in preparation for upcoming classes.


I teach in my Studio Wednesday , Thursday and Saturday and in Fridays I teach at Sewco Sewing and Patchwork at Mt Gravatt.  

I am on the left with Di Taylor, Debbie Goulter ( the creator of this wonderful quilt ) and Desley Black.

Life is a delight and I am enjoying the gentle rhythm of the days doing what I love.
