Today I went to a cupcake picnic, organised by the lovely @shique! We got to sample one from The Cupcake Parlour and another from Poppy Cakes. The cupcake I had from The Cupcake Parlour was a vanilla with this blobby blue icing, I found the cupcake to be amazing and moist but the icing was…

Australia Day
I was going to draw this much better, but we’ve been down the coast in a hospital because my grandfather is ailing and isn’t expected to live for much longer. At any rate, I hope you had a good day today if you had the day off. I also wanted to mention that I’m not…
Where I work
I organised my room today after getting the bookcase mum lovingly donated! I present to you a shoddy panorama, stitched in all of about 2 seconds. You get the idea. You can do the creepy thing and view it big if you go to the flickr page and hit “All sizes”. We rent so everything…

Natalie Baird is Natalie Perkins
This post is mostly for SEO purposes, but will probably be helpful for my general readership as well. In case you haven’t caught up, I’m married now, and I’m going to assume my husband’s surname in the good old fashioned way. So please remember, Natalie Baird is Natalie Perkins! It’s quite weird having to transition…
