Fabric Sale

I have a few more pieces of my Floral Circles available in my shop. They are all hand printed here in Sydney and are orginal designs.

And on another note, here are a few more pics of my dress now available at: one small room, 6 elizabeth st, croydon, adelaide.

Bargain bowls


I went to the local tafe and discovered I was a day late for the annual pottery sale. Ahhhh!

There were a few things that hadn't been picked up by the students yet and I was fortunate to pick up these cute bowls for $1 each.



This bracelet was made for a Christmas present (can't say who for, or who asked me to make it because that would blow the surprise).

Free scraps

These are my printed fabric scraps. I can't bear to throw these pieces out, but don't have time to make them into little projects. Do you have a home for them? They are free, you just pay for the postage! This pic is just half of them. They are mostly all of my own designs printed locally here in Sydney on medium weight cotton fabrics.

This is the full bag, it weighs just under 1kg. So if anyone wants the bag. Just let me know in the comments. First to ask gets it.
edit: going to a good home - thanks Erika

The no purpose bag

I tried a new bag design out from my crafty Japanese book. The strap looked a little wide and a bit short, but I plugged away at it anyway.



I added some pockets on the outside and ta-da! A bag that seemed good for only two things - carrying a load of apples or filling with craft things.



As this was a 4oth birthday present, I thought the apples might look a bit odd, so I opted to fill it with craft supplies. Happy birthday Anita!

Second hand find


These cake plates have been calling my name for a while. They were living in a glass cabinent in a second hand store near Jack's preschool. I went to visit every few weeks. I know they aren't classic, I just thought they were quirky and needed some love. I like the bright yellows and the fact that they were all handpainted and are slightly different.

Catching up

Molly's pendant arrived yesterday.


Used some of my Cloth fabric in a present for Jodie.


Pretended I was a famous fashion designer and did a proper photography session for my new dress. Thanks to my great friends who: styled, modelled and photographed. And also to Pete and Maria for painting this wall a fabulous deep red! (I am the one with my back to the camera)

love and kisses


This one will wing it's way to Melbourne. A one-off original that's a gift for my good friend Leah. We have know each other for 20 years (ahhh) and she is soon heading off overseas to pursue a fantastic musical career with her hubby and little boy. So I hope you love this little gift my friend and I will see you soon.

Waiting


This pendant is going to my friend Maria. Happy belated birthday! It's winging it's way all the way from the USA and I can't wait until the postman delivers it. I love that I don't have to go to huge faceless shopping centres (that stress me out - and those that know me might be suprised at that turnaround) to buy my gifts anymore.

This beautiful gift was handcrafted by the very talented Molly. Thanks so much.

Swings

It's all happening...I have sent this art to the printer for my new swing tags. I've ordered zippers, ribbon and am just waiting for the manufacturer to produce my first dress sample. All a mixture of fun and nervousness. And then I get a call from my real work to come in tomorrow and the fun has to be put on hold for another day.
