paper love

One Craftee Mumma

the other week i purchased some gift cards on MadeIt in my efforts to support as many fellow madeit sellers as i can - sharing the love of hand-made is such a good thing. i came across some lil gift cards by One Craftee Mumma, and purchased 2 sets which arrived safely & are just divine. Tamara, the ever so precise paper crafter, then popped me in her give-away -

and I WON!!!

i have never won a give away EVER, give me credit i do enter a few and this one just because i had purchased, so maybe it was my karma. in my parcel of give-away love, Tamara sent me a set of the most adorable mushroom gift cards, 2 packets of paper punched birds & a cute mix of buttons!!!! so excitied. She has an etsy store, madeit store & blog.

go and say hi, she is such a kind hearted soul. Thanks Tamara, you made my week x

doily love brooches

last night i decided i needed a brooch to wear for today, and i didnt have one that took my fancy, so i whipped one up! and another one and another one and then there were 10!

you can find them in my madeit store here for $12.50 each

just because

(laughing as stella licks her toes)

today i made nina a new dress for a birthday party on monday. i think it's going to need a wash before then, she just had to wear it & play outside. i also made another cushion, the letter k. this one we will give to kai for his 1st birthday on monday. NONA - remember this fabric? i think you wanted me to make a quilt?!?

oh and a little bit of picniking around with a cammomile t, some strepsils & a box of tissues.

my creative space

a late creative space.........i have been in bed for the last 2 days with the flu (ok, a really bad cold) hence the late post. so on thursday my creative space was at work (mystic turtle) where i spent the day playing around with gaspiete beads, and made a beautiful necklace. i love this crystal, it is an australian stone used by the aboriginals to connect back with their ancestors & the land. the colour is just amazing dont you think? i ummed and ahhed for a while about owning it, but i thought maybe it would be better in the jewellery case to be admired (hopefully) for a while.

i hope everyone is having a restful easter break, its a good time to catch up on all the creatives over here @ kootoyoo

okay, so now looking at my pic, obviously my cold had already set in. can you see what ive done? silly me ! oh well will fix it on tuesday.
