My new favorite fashion blogs

Following around links last night I found a few great fashion blogs I thought I'd share.

Cat Party - A lovely fashion blog by Amy, Chelsea, Megan and Joanna. I think this one is my favorite.
Fashionologie - I've been reading this one for a while.
Style Bubble - I love how Susie photographs herself in her outfits.

Does anyone else have a favorite Fashion Blog to share?

Tilleke Schwarz



I can't quite remember how I came upon Tilleke's work but it's so great. This embroidery on Linen is called 'Count Your Blessings.' I love the detail shots too. How cute are the rabbits! You can check out more of her work here on her great site. Also worth a look are her links.

You know a good way to work like this is to draw on linen or cotton yourself with one of those pens that wash off. I was just thinking that it would be a really interesting thing to do to plain napkins or pillowcases. You could make them little works of art for friends...Hummm... Maybe that's something I should look into...(tick, tick, tick goes my brain..)

Selvedge Bookshop


I have just been browsing Selvedge Magazine's online bookstore... I wish I was earning lots and lots of English Pounds then I could afford to indulge myself in an even bigger textile library. Above is a book I would love to own.

Tobias and the Angel


How lovely is this bag.I think it's block printed. Tobias and the Angel is a beautiful store in White Heart Lane, London. You must visit their site or store as they have the most beautiful block printed textiles. Sigh.

Vintage Dutch Fabric on Ebay

Just about the best present ever!


Many thanks to my 8 year old cousin Emily who single-handedly won best wedding present. x

I've been away...

Just got back from the best honeymoon ever in the Whitsundays. While there we discovered a little jem of a time warp called Hook Island. So cute. Don't let the photo's in the photo section fool you... This island had it's hayday in 1980. Which is what makes it the coolest. Great place to take your buddies on a vacay. One of the cheapest islands $$ wise too. I can just see a tropical craft bonanza happening by the fiberglass pool!
