Welcome to Runawaywombat

Hi and Welcome. I hope you enjoy my blog and hope we can share my love of cooking and making craft items which I have made for many years. Juggling motherhood and work has been fun and a learning experience. Runawaywombat is an Etsy site where I create classic items which are vibrant, practical and fun. Many items from Aprons, Tea Towels, make up and storage bags. You can see my items by going to www.etsy.com/shop/runawaywombat. On the food front I made Lemon slice and honestly I can't make enough of it as it run off the plate with my family.

Hi everyone. It's almost Christmas and  I  have been very busy, as I'm sure we all are this time of the year.

Just wanted to wish you all a Merry and safe Festive season to all. Looking forward to the New Year with lots to show you on runawaywombat on etsy. Some more home cooked meals on the blog, some cakes made with my new mixer. I treated myself to this kitchen helper and hoping to create some lovely cakes. Been pressured to make macaroons. I'll see how I go.

 To all be happy and safe this festive season. :)

Hi everyone,
Just a general chit chat and pics post. Made Chinese fried rice and have had some success. Forgot to post and take pics but did enjoy the recipe so will make it again and post soon. On the craft front we are heading into the Christmas period so I have been busy making and creating new items for the shop.







Love the whole creating process and each item is very individually made, and of course with lots of love. :) Here are some latest pics and the fried rice will be coming soon.

Being busy as we all are at this time of the year. Thought I'd show you some brushes rolls which would be great as a Christmas gift idea. Of course if you are after something special you can e-mail runawaywombat on etsy and I'll see what I can do. Here are some pics for you to see.

Hi everyone,




Just thought I would share my latest apron. Just listed today. Love the polka dot print which you have probably guessed by now. Wonderful pattern and getting a real joy out of making these new vintage aprons.

Hi everyone,

I know, I have not blogged for a while. Being busy creating, making and listing new items on etsy. I'm in the middle of a vintage frenzy and I'm enjoying creating full and half aprons in this style.

Polka dots are cute and classy. Here are some new aprons and older ones for you to see. Life has been busy I'm sure as it is for all of us, in this busy world we live in. Perhaps at times I should try to stop and smell the roses. Can't seem to find a balance.








 I hope you enjoy the color and combinations. Here are the pics.

Hi everyone,
I have been trying some new and old recipes and thought I would share them with you. I have just tried Sesame Prawns. Always afraid of Chinese cooking because I didn't have much success in the past but I can say that lately I am on a roll with Asian cooking and am having a lot of success. The Sesame prawns did turn out delicious and have several request from the family to make them again. Always a good sign. Here  is the picture.

Hi everyone,



Haven't blogged for a while  about food. So I thought I share some foods pics of things I have been cooking. I love cooking but don't get me wrong, I like to be pampered, as well with a nice meal out. My husband always says he doesn't like to be fussed over when out at dinner, well I don't know about you out there but I love it Probably because it's me doing all the fussing, usually. I do enjoy the whole madam this and madam that thing.

Enough with my rambling, here are the pictures.





Hi everyone, Here is my latest unisex apron with printed words of places (regions) of France and wines. This apron will very much suit men and women. I hope you enjoy this new one.
