Shop update
I’ve been working on my Etsy shop a little and must say, I’m pretty happy with how it’s looking at the moment – it really reflects what I do and the different skills I have, plus the things I love.
I wanted to get a full screen shot but as I’m possibly one of the least tech savvy of people, I could only get half!
Why not pop over and have a look for yourself (then you’ll get to see the whole thing!)
Hand printed buttons
I have a whole range of linen buttons hand printed with our original carved lino designs.
I’ll be listing a bunch of them in my Etsy shop over the next couple of days.
These are available now š
And these are too.
They come in a set of three and you’re really only limited to your imagination when using them (if you’re like me you collect buttons mostly just to look at!)
The post is cheap too š
You can check them out here.
While I’m here I’d like to welcome all who are new to my blog and thank you so very much for stopping by. If you stop by regularly but have never said hi, please do, I love to know who I’m talking to and it means I can visit you too š
New embroidery pattern
It’s with great excitement that I announce my second embroidery pattern is now available in my Etsy shop. Why the excitement? Well, it’s a lot of work to create a pattern, beginning with the first sketch, then the embroidery itself and finally the writing of instructions and having the file ready to send. So for me, it’s an achievement to start and finish a project like this. But I do so love it š
The stitchery, like my drawings is a bit whimsical, a bit quirky and a lot cute!
Hope you love it too. Happy Stitching!
Miniatures!
I’ve always had a bit of a thing for miniatures and doll houses. One of my crafty aims in life is to construct a beautiful multi storey dollhouse and hand make every last thing that goes in it! Considering I have 3 young girls I may have to wait until they leave home, or perhaps I could do a smaller scale “play” house as practice!
A lovely memory from my childhood is my Dad finding an old dollhouse that had belonged to one of his sisters in an old unused shed on the farm. He cleaned and painted it for me and I thought it was the most wonderful thing on earth – 2 storey and the front of the house opened and closed with a little latch. When we left the farm almost everything got sold and I think my dollhouse was among the things that went.
A little search on Etsy lead me to these wonderful discoveries:
Mixed Berry Pie in 1/6th scale by puttering
Alaska Red Clay Miniatures by FunkydevazVintage
Fairy Ring from WarmCountryMeadows
Springtime miniature dollhouse bedspread by Pugcentric
Yum Cha BBQ Pork Bun in Steam Basket 1/12th scale from luluminiatures
Handmade Miniature wooden chair by ShopHotHouse
Miniature Pet 1/12th scale by firbreheart
What do you think? Aren’t miniatures just awesome?!

New goodies in the shop
I’ve been very busy this morning with these new listings for my Etsy shop. I sort of wish I could skip the whole listing part and just get on with the creating part!
Remember the bright shibori dyed fabric? Now it’s a skirt.
This is pretty cool – a reversible scarf. One side is bright.
The other is dark.

Lil’ Mim sisters
I finished the other doll I was working on, her new owner loves the colour blue and has hazel eyes with brown hair. I decided to give her super long hair, I just love a doll with long hair.
This is the first time I’ve made a pair of dolls for sisters, I think it’s really beautiful that they’ll both have their own special doll for Christmas. These 2 are about 13 inches tall and made with the my usual favourites – cotton tricot, carded wool, mohair yarn and lovely prints for their dresses.
Last night I started work on my doll for the Melbourne Show, I’ve left it a little late, but it’s cool, she’ll get there!
