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.

Once a upon a time - weight loss - the limits are being pushed

You are probably wondering how the weight loss is going. I am within my goal weight, probably another one or two kilos and I would be very happy. The gym and training have been excellent. I have really increased my fitness and strength lately. I was at the same level for over a year and was making, what seem like, very little progress.

This last 4 or 5 weeks I have really improved and have taken on a lot harder exercises to do. So, if you are wondering if I have given in and back to my old ways. Not really, I still eat what I like but with limitations. the big plates of food are gone. I can't seem to be able to eat them anyway.

I still have my treats but I think about what I'm eating and try not to over do it. The best thing about all of this, is my back is strong, I just get out of bed in the morning and I feel stronger.

So, I thought I would catch you all up, with the journey. One which will continue forever.

The latest one is in the small pink floral printed fabric. The others are in the runawaywombat collection, which you can click on the etsy mini to take you there, if you wish.

New brush roll






Hey everyone,
Just listed a new brush roll and wanted to share it with you. Here is the pics for you to see. This beautiful lemon/yellow and black floral print has a bright and cheerful feel. With the striking black and white polka dot bow it really makes a statement. I think, at least.

Hope you like it, I have some more coming for you soon.

Vintage inspired aprons




Hi everyone,
Just listed another vintage apron. I love polka dots and this is the new runawaywombat range. The different polka dot colours and there will be more to come in the future. I love all aprons in all shape and forms. That's why there is such a range in the shop on etsy. Different designs, different styles, different colour and prints. Well enough with the chatter and here are the photos.

Once a upon a time - weight loss - just sitting here.

Just sitting here looking at the computer as most of us do now days. Wondering what to google next. I find it funny how our lives have changed and wonder what I was doing before computers. I find myself having this wealth of information that I probably didn't have before because I can just look it up

.I thought I would just share my thoughts this morning with you. I don't know if you find that at all interesting, but I often ponder about how the journey is going and where it is heading. To deep. Probably.

NEW NEW Pouch overnight makeup pouches






Hey everyone,
Just finished and listed my latest pouches for you to see. These are so nice and soft with the padding I add to them. These are the latest two and the prints do match some of the brush rolls. They would make a lovely set for a gift or to spoil yourself. I know, as a mum I should do some of that from time to time. Here are the pics. There are also some more aprons coming full and half length, which I'll share with you.

Had homemade pancakes last night but I forgot to take a picture to share with you. Next time I will. They were delicious, I'll keep it in mind for next time.
