Chikagraphy

How sweet is this lovely wallhanging from Chikagraphy? I love it. What's even better is that she has a store (If they're still there, check out the penguins!!!)....Oh my goodness, DOLCE the DACHSHUND!!! Love it!

What a winner.

This incredible needlepoint is by Eliza and it just won a prize at the Royal Melbourne Show. I've been staring at the stitches all morning while drinking my coffee. I am now the proud owner of this piece, as it was a birthday present from Miss Woolly herself. How lucky I am!

(I had trouble photographing it without any relections, so please excuse.)

Sunshine & summer tops.

I decided that I needed a couple of new summer tops and wanting to contribute to the 'use what you have' pool, I dug out this Poker Dot fabric given to me by my Aunty some years back and made myseld a little summer top. The Super badge was a birthday present from the Ladle.

Barbie Carrots

This winter we decided to plant some vegies. Unfortunately for our carrots they only grew to about the size of a 50c coin. I think I best stick to being a crafty lady instead.

Now's the time.

If you're thinking of making your own Christmas pesents this year now's the time to get started. Can you believe it's October already?

Nicole Mallalieu is running some more Purse Frames Workshops at the Brunswick Business Incubator. One is on Sun 8th October, and another one is scheduled for the 15th October. $68 buys you a kit and three and a half hours of fun.... with a finished purse at the end!!!

Then all you ned to do is make your list and get sewing...ahhh, another list.

Whip it up!

Here is a little apron I made on Friday afternoon for a friends birthday. I took the pattern off my favorite vintage apron but there's also pleanty of inspiration here.

Missoni Spring 07

So I was considering making a knitted something (I say something as by the time I finish with it, it will be nothing like I originally intend - trust me...). Anyway I'm thinking some kind of couch throw. In the colours of the new beautiful Missoni collection. Or maybe I'll scale that down to a scarf... Anyway, Melinda and I went to a great little Wool shop in the city this morning, hence the whole wool angle. If you want to check out the full collection for some inpsiration of your own, you can do so here.
