I had a wee table and chairs set up with free colour-in activities for the kiddies - it was a hit! Elora came to the market in between naps, dressed her in her Wonder Woman onesie hehe! Â Market day was UNREAL! The rain held off until late in the arvo, long after we had packed up and gone home - hurrah! It was warm and sunny (although quite gusty, there were moments I thought the marquee
Nearly organised for the market tomorrow yay! SO many little things to do - packaging and price tags and figuring out how to display stuff! But it's all fun and it's a good learning process :) There's rain and even thunderstorms forecast for tomorrow from late morning so I'm REALLY hoping those big old rainclouds hold off until later in the day, fingers crossed! Come on down and say hello if you
... owl babies teehee! Here is what I've been creating with my sewing machine. I even had some Little Beehive tags made up so these little dudes can show loud and proud where they came from :) They are made from new and vintage fabric and pure wool felt.

On a bit of a personal note today... Our little bug is already 5 months old! How the time has flown! Elora gets more amazing every day - being a mum is awesome. I suppose I had better baby-proof this place, she's rolling over now so I guess it's not too long until she's getting around on her own steam :)
Whooowhheeee! I'm in the awesome new Print and Pattern 2 book!

Hello all! It's a bit sad that I have to do this post, but I feel it necessary to get the word out... as you can see from the image above, my Mister Fox illustration ha been ripped-off by another illustrator... and worse, they are selling product with the image on it in their DaWanda shop! You can see the rip-offs here. What cheek! It makes me sad and angry when artists feel they can get away

I've been fiddling with ideas for some new canvas wall art, and this is idea number one - Kokeshi dolls. What do you think?

Howdy! Thank you all so much for the congrats on Elora - you all rock! She is doing really well, being a little dream baby, I'm a very lucky mum :) I starting making this ragdoll rabbit for Elora on the day I went into labour, so it's been sitting around half-done for a few weeks. But I finally got around to finishing the little dude this week. I bought the pattern here, but modified the ears a
Hello everyone! I'm so excited to introduce you all to our beautiful baby girl! This is Elora. She was born last Saturday 21st May (exactly on her due date, would you believe!) weighing 7lbs 13oz. We are all doing very well... happy baby, happy mum and happy dad! She's been a total dream baby so far - feeding and then sleeping for 3-4 hours at a time. Perfect! I hope she keeps up the good work
I don't think I've introduced you all to our lovely greyhound... meet Twiggy! She recently had her 8th birthday. Here she is chowing down on a yummy birthday dinner - chicken leg mmm! I got Twigs when she was just 8 weeks old. She was a rescue, her litter was unwanted and would have been put to sleep if they hadn't been adopted. Twigs has a pretty big personality - don't let those refined,
