Jumbleberry Santas

I am very excited to show you my latest offering, my Jumbleberry Santas are in the latest issue of Homespun Magazine.

It is their Christmas in July issue, I love to think about Christmas when it is cold and grey, which it is here in Melbourne at the moment!

These little guys are traveling around at present, but I can't wait to have them back to adorn my mantle piece when the christmassy season really comes around!

I hope you like them!

Until next time

Look inside we are now done!!!

Well I have finished!!!

May I introduce the last two components, the grocery bag and the pear.

All of these lovely groceries fit safe and snug in one of the six pockets or neatly into the bag itself.

I will be delivering everything to Creative Abundance very soon, so look out for To Market To Market in your local patchwork or stitchery shop, and make your little one very happy!

Until next time

Animal Crackers

My latest project is inspired by my little one.

My Louisa went with her prep class to a little stall at school, there were all sorts of goodies for them to buy with points they had earned.

She came home with the only thing that caught her eye, a wee little lion toy. He is so little and cute.

It has not left her side since that day and I even found him in my bed the other night.

Animal Crackers are three little mascot pals ready to hang, made from 100% wool hand dyed felt.

I delivered them to Creative Abundance this morning so they should be in the shops very soon.

until next time

Recipe: Plump Cherries and Bakelite Beauty!!!

A little sharing time,

I have a very small collection of vintage belt buckles some are made from my favourite of favourites Bakelite.

This gorgeous green gem sat at the very tip top of the very small pile, and I have often grieved for its lonely unused state.

When these glorious plump cherry beads arrived in the mail I just knew they would sing along side my buckle.

...so here it is, I thread the beads onto some divine super wide black and cream pin stripe gross grain ribbon. I must say I am in love with the result,

I can't wait to wear it

Until next time

Enjoy what you create!

Ooh Yummy!

We are off to a wee party and I need to bring something to entice the guests!

I decided to make Chocolate Mousse, I absolutely love it's velvety smooth texture and scrummy chocolatety goodness.

There will be quite a few guests with room to a minimum, so finger food is the go.

I found these adorable bite sized fluted moulds at The Reject Shop (cheap, cheap, cheap) aren't they just so cute!

The best thing is they are silicone so I can use them again.

The candy flowers come from a wonderful little shop called West's Cakes. They make by hand many different candy flowers in lots of yummy colours.

I am sure they will be a hit, lets hope they last until the party!! Save one for me!!

until next time

Look inside and take a peek !

I have been busy of late, so I thought a little peek wouldn't hurt.

My new project is called 'To Market To Market' a little bag with outer pockets, (well that is the plan, it might change along the way.)

Inside you will find all the things you might buy while at the market, I have completed the first two items - Strawberry Heart Cookies and Lollypops.

This project is something I know my five year old Louisa would love to play with while making tea or setting up house for all her babies.

Looking forward to the end result, shall keep you posted along the way.

Blessings
