Little Bit of a Break

Due to moving house and all the excitement that goes with it, this little blog will be having a temporary holiday.

Grateful Day 10

Grateful for the challenge of making something new and making someone happy. Wish I'd had a nappy bag like this. This person deserves so much happiness and I hope this year turns out to be all that she hopes for.

Grateful Day 9

Sunday afternoon ice cream vans that deliver the drippiest ice cream ever. I still get excited when I here Greensleves.

Grateful Day 8

This is really yesterday's post but my badly behaved Internet connection wouldn't play nicely. I'm grateful for not the clock (even thought it is cute) but for time. It always seems as if there isn't enough, too much, time goes to fast or it goes to slow. In the end it is just what it is. Enjoy it!

If You Dare

OK, I understand this is not in the spirit of being grateful or handmade fabric loveliness. But I'm more than a little cross. Becoming a mother didn't mean I became a brainless twit or did it?

Grateful Day 7

I'm grateful that this chick lives at my house. Her name is Lisa and she was handcrafted by the super talented Made by Maisie. Will lovely dolls, toys and clothes of this nature still be around in the future with the CPSIA (Consumer Product Safety Improvement Act)? I admit I don't know very much about all the issues related to CPSIA. There is a cool post here and another here. I hope there is a solution for all the sellers of handmade children's items in the near future.

There is a swing horse that is under my Mum's house. It was built by the builder who built her Mother and Father's house in Wilston in the 1930's out of scraps left over from the house. This horse has been loved and ridden on by three generations and I'm sure there will be future generations who enjoy it just as much. That's true handmade product testing.

Grateful Day 6

I'm grateful to have these pair of shoes. I'm not really a shoe girl - more a handbag one, fancy that. These are my favourite pair of shoes. They are so comfortable and a little funky. So do you live in Brisbane and are looking for a great pair of shoes? Go and check out Children of the Revolution in Adelaide St. Unreal service and such a fab range of great quality, unique comfortable shoes that last (which is great if like me you don't buy many).
