refresh

new

original

The 'little owls' design was my 2nd ever print produced under my own label in 2007. I had decided last year to retire this print to make way for the new. But felt unsure about this decision. The solution is to refresh! My same drawings, but with a new brush and super sized. They were little before, they are huge now (about 20cm tall). Just need to think up a few new colourways.

kokeshi

After a long search for at least one of these original Kokeshi dolls, I was recently spoiled for choice and picked these 2 girls from a group of 6. I love, love, love the one that has an actual branch as the base with a beautiful hand painting and Japanese script.

this weekend

I'll be here selling fabrics and some hand made products.

market prep

Getting ready for The Finders Keepers market on Friday!

This is what today looks like on my kitchen table. Not much space for breakfast bowls. There will be lots of sewing going on here, but with a beautiful sunny day starting I also think a trip to the beach is in order. 

finished quilt

The boy and his new quilt are united.

It is really hard to capture the intensity of this colour in a photograph. Let's just say it's highly visible. Last night I showed my boys the new 'winter nest' print in fluorescent orange on cream hemp/organic cotton and they loved it. Jack immediately asked me to make him something with it. We talked through the possibilities... a bear, a zip purse, a quilt. His eyes lit up at the thought of a quilt. 

So instead of sleeping, I stayed up late and watched a movie while cutting and sewing this for my boy. Today I will iron it and then put the backing on.
