Making...

I had quite a productive day today. Managed to get a bit done in my studio, so am feeling somewhat prepared for my two markets this weekend.

Made today...

some new key rings - loving this Amy Butler fabric!

Some more envelopes (I finally managed to track down some more old copies of Where the Wild Things Are!)

New magnets

and some more bookmarks.

Inspiring

I am just loving Carla Bruni at the moment - I have been listening to one of her albums, Quelqu'un m'a dit over and over for the past few days - it is so beautiful. So I just had to share a link to one of my favourite songs on the album of the same name...




On another note, look what I found on Lilla Rogers blog... how gorgeous is this illustration by John Coulter of Terrible Yellow Eyes - inspired by Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak.  I just can't wait to see the movie!!

Busy week

I know, I know... I have been avoiding you... but not on purpose I promise!

I've had a pretty full on week, and not a lot of thinking or making time... so rather than enjoy a relaxing Friday night, I have been busily sewing my little heart out tonight and have a lovely stack of crayon rolls to show for it. I sold out last week at Crafternoon Tea so wanted to get a start on replenishing my stock for upcoming markets.

It's far too dark now for me to take decent pictures, so you will have to wait until the morning... here is one that sold at Crafternoon Tea last week (but I have made more in this combination).

I have also been busy tracing, cutting, folding and glueing envelopes as they have been selling as fast as I make them this week!

Better dash - I have a little more to finish up and really need some beauty sleep : )

Wild Etsy Treasury

Thanks to TigerLiliesAngelfish for including my 'Where the Wild Things Are' upcycled envelopes in this wild Etsy treasury. You can click here to see the treasury for a couple more days...

This treasury was also featured in the 'Elite Eight' on S&O Productions blog. Lucky me!

Sunday already...?!!

Well - it has certainly been an eventful week. Lucy had a 'bit of a fall' on Wednesday morning... she was knocked out and we ended up spending the day between doctors and radiology due to her concussion - not a fun day. On Thursday we were back at North Shore Hospital as they found a heart murmur on Lucy, so another few hours of tests... poor wee mite didn't know what had hit her.

Yesterday I took Bella and her friend to see 'Up' at the movies... unfortunately Harri was a little scared, so we ended up leaving halfway through. I had to make up a very sweet ending so she wouldn't go home with nightmares of evil dogs. Someone needs to start up a Kids movie theatre with 'pink fluffy' movies that aren't scary for little ones, but still gives them that 'movie experience'!

We saw the trailer for 'Where the Wild Things Are' yesterday - the music is so beautiful. Bells and I have been watching this over and over this morning! Can't wait to see it.




School starts back tomorrow - I can't believe the two weeks have gone that quickly! Last term before Christmas... where has the year gone?

Where the wild things are...

I made these this morning out of a very old distressed, lonely version of Maurice Sendaks 'Where the Wild things Are'.

Aren't they gorgeous!
