Too sweet.....

Who said wall stickers are getting a little passe? They obviously haven't seen the collection from Mimi Lou (mimilou-shop.fr). I came across these the other day and fell in love. What can I say, I'm inspired....

Getting ready for Handmade....

It's late but I'm up getting some new designs ready for the upcoming Handmade Market on 11 September. Here is a little sneak peak of what I've been doing. I'm making lots of swallows this time as they went in a flash at the last market, some butterflies and ring sets and maybe a new shape if I have time.....

Sophie Mae

It's been a while since my last post but I think I have a pretty good excuse - and here she is, a little baby girl called Sophie Mae. She arrived into the world on the 20th May at a petite 2.85kg and 48.5cm long. We are both doing fantastically (apart from a nasty case of the flu last week).

I have managed to get a bit of work done - the most exciting being an installation at the Blue Olive Cafe, opposite the Canberra GPO. It is a swarm of colourful swallows flying up and across the wall. Will post some photos soon but if you are in the area pop in and have a look. Oh, and grab a coffee from the lovely Simone while your at it as you'll want to stay and check out her fabulous vintage homewares collection....

I'm back!

Here are some new ring set designs I've been working on that are now available in my Madeit store. It's been a little while since my last post and that can mainly be attributed to the fact I am about to have a baby. I've been busy preparing and dealing with some last minute issues like a breech presentation. But after a successful ECV this morning (turning the baby from breech position to the correct position) everything is all ok and I'm on the home stretch - Yay! I'm furiously making some new stuff before the baby arrives so make sure you check it out before it all comes to an abrupt stop for a little while....

More new shapes

Cute little deer and a butterfly......

New Shape

Clouds seem to be everywhere and since I like them I figured I'd jump on the bandwagon and create a few sets for the Handmade Markets this March 28. This was my first attempt and I'm pretty pleased with the result. These shapes are really light and can be stuck on the wall using Blu Tack or 3M Picture Frame Hanging Strips. I'll only have a few sets so you'll have to be quick!!

Nesting Part Two.......

Have had a compelling need to pretty things up around home so have done a bit of decorating. First up was the dining room wall where I hung some family photos I've been meaning to frame for ages. I bought some cheap frames in black and white from a discount store and hung them all together in a sort of structured way. Didn't turn out so bad and Emma actually recognises the people in the photos and loves to point them out which is cute. I can keep adding new photos as I get them so I'm looking forward to having a wall covered in happy memories.

Next up was a blank wall in Emma's room. I had some pretty lights in the shapes of flowers that I picked up from Ikea so I made up some butterflies and little discs from some brightly covered fabric and stuck them all around. Emma has her own happy garden on the wall.

Oh, and I got my Nanami Cowdroy cushion I ordered from the UK. I don't think the photo does it justice - it's made out of a suede material and I even got a certificate of authentication. Did a bit of experimentation with some little ring sets I made....they're supposed to look like bubbles from the fish.....ok, so it seemed like a good idea at the time...
