By the way...

Sorry, the last post was about a cool blog called "kootoyoo" which I have done once before and if I was really clever, you would click on and take you directly there, where you add your own project for the week as a "show & tell" lots of fun so google it and check it out! I saw someone today from I think Sweden so it's growing by the day, By the end of the year, crafters will have taken over the world and what a better place it would be!!! Have you ever noticed how happy, patient and polite people from the handmade society are, am yet to come across a cranky one.

My creative space...

I'm trying to be organized enough to join in on this fun website each week, so far it's the second time in about 6 weeks but as you can see, I managed to complete a heap of orders today, and thought I deserved a moment of fun and indulgence to do something that I have been wanting to for ages for my little mate... Will I get it done by the week...Not Bloody Likely but a girl can dream!

Long weekend and so much to do....

It's the long weekend in Melbourne and sometimes you don't know where to start but I managed a little of everything!


A new pin cushion...




Some more pots and plants to go with our new grass...







Some orders from Madeit ready to go...

Now it's time for a bex and a lie down... I WISH!!!

Hang the washing...

On days like today, when the sun is shining, it's the perfect conditions to peg the skirts on the line and get the next photo! So here is my latest combo...

pale pink/chocolate brown

Now what next???

Yep, talk little miss into quick couple of photo's before the sun sets so I can load it up on Madeit!

Proper Job as my little man would say (If you have a son who loves "Scrap heap challenge" you'll know where I'm coming from...

Funky Fete's....

Some time ago last year, I was asked to consider co-ordinating our craft stall at the school fete for this year. I had made quite a number of items for them in 2009 and it is because of this that my little business was born! Although it's not till October, I really will have to plan ahead as this will be coming into a busy time at cha cha rose so last night I began with this little door stop out of scrapp material.... The aim being to use, upcycle and create something wonderful out of nothing as funds are very limited. I would love to hear any idea's you have seen or think would be a great addition for our stall. We still need to make our covered coathangers, but the mums at my school are a pretty cool bunch who I think would appreciate a bit of handmade edgyness!!! (Did I even spell that right?)

It's tuff being a princess sometimes...

I took my little model out today to try and get a great shot of her in a tutu. It was windy as hell, overcast and threatening to rain, but my little madame kept her chin up at the promise of a new petshop (Is that even cheaper than child labour?) and soildered on like a true diva.

At the end of the day it was back to Nan's for a quick catch up and a well deserved break!

I didn't have the heart to tell her that I hadnt done such a great job of the photo's, may be able to get one or two out of all her hard work, but hey, she played petshop's till dinner time and went off to a blissful sleep none the wiser.

Leaving me to ponder, how can I one up on the pet shops next time???

What do you think?

I have finally after Easter, had the chance to catch up on some orders as well as try and get some of the other winter colors made up.

This is a nude/coffee color that I've just done and don't know which outfit combo to go with. I have recently booked a teeny weeny ad space on MyChild incorporated in the "Made it" Ad and want to try and get a great Photo for the layout.

Bearing in mind that I need a new camera and will have to enlist a friend's, what outfit do you think will look better for this color skirt?

Would really love any feedback, I have a definite preference and just wondering if other people do to...
