Best Week Ever

Well this week on Etsy has delivered some very lovely surprises. First I was very, very lucky to be mentioned in the Etsy Finds From a Land Down Under here. I can not quite believe that I was among such wonderful Australian talent. But to top it up today the garland I blogged about in my last post made it to the front page today. Wow, what a week. Back to school tomorrow and back to the sewing machine.

Happy Australia Day to you all!

That Time Of Year

Yep, it's that time of year when all the hearts come out and its time to remember those we hold close to our hearts. In celebration of my love of hand screen printed fabric I have been finally been able to make good use of some small pieces of Pippijoe's Daisy fabric that I just knew one day I would find something special to use them for. Presenting..... my heart garland. Available in my etsy store now. I just wish I had a bright, breezy widow to photograph it on (all my widows have ugly security screens) to show how pretty it is. But anyway I made do with screeching at the girls to hold the garland still while I photographed it against a boring old wall. Doesn't quite do it justice though.

And keeping with the whole heart theme is a pretty heart purse that is also in my etsy shop. The fabric is the heart fabric by Carly Schwerdt from Umbrella Prints. The colour is Storm Boy Blue. I think it is the whole name of the colour that I love too as Storm Boy was one of my favourite books as a child.

Happy New Year

What a lovely way to start the 2010 with a spot on the front page of etsy with my small Spring Days Purse! I hope 2010 brings you all much happiness and success.

Christmas Bits and Bobs

Well not long now till the big day. Looking for a lovely lot of hand made pressies? Looking for a huge stash of presents to suit all your loved ones? Oh and the best bit all for free? Then head on over to the wonderful blog Fat Mum Slim and enter her huge give away. But be quick entries close on the 20th December.

Blog posts have been a little slow due to almost drowning under wrapping paper and all the other preps that go on before the big day. So to help with all wrapping and so forth we have had to enlist the assistance of a boy at Little Mary Moo's Place. He's very sweet, always happy, very helpful in the present department, clean and gratefully eats his meals. Being a girl only home its been nice to have a little variety but there are only two problems, one he is just a little slimy and two I have to give him back in a week. So take a little look at the cute boy and his helpful antics:

Just a few pictures of my stall before I run out the door again. The BIDM was the most loveliest day ever. Thank you to everyone who stopped by for a chat and to all those who brought something from my little stall. I did enjoy so much talking to you all and seeing you smile. I had a great day next to the wonderful Sally from Flight Industries and Christine from Why Not Street. The little coin purses I made were a huge hit. People had such a great rummage through them and it was so sweet watching everyone's reactions to the different textile designs. I will be back when time permits to show off some of the goodies the girls an I were able to buy. You can see more of the pics over at my flickr stream.
