Thank you Dad!

I didn't peek, I promise.
My Dad has bought me a Gocco PG-5 kit for Christmas. I know because I ordered, picked it up and wrapped it up for under the tree.
I've just been following all the links on the DIY Definitions: Print Gocco page trying to get a heads up and I can see I am going to have so much fun with this present.....only 4 more sleeps.

I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and hope that 2008 brings everyone much joy, happiness and renewed creativity. Thanks for stopping by (I'm sorry my postings have been a little light on....however next year, well.....I, myself, will definitely be back with renewed vigor after a lovely summer break spent with friends and family). See you all in 2008! xxoxx

Take a look at this lovely tutorial from Moonstitches. So simple and sweet.

Finally Framed

I've finally had my lovely knitty knitty print framed. It was given to me as a birthday present back in September 06 and I'd promptly tucked it away in a safe spot while we moved. Then completely forgot about it in all the chaos. Until, that is, I was reading through the Bloesem Weekend Reads '...wish gifts'. It felt like my birthday all over again discovering this little gem by Ashley G. Thank you Ladle.

Owl Crazy

I've gone a little owl crazy and I didn't even compute this, until I'd pressed the 'pay now' button over at the Enna Etsy store. I couldn't resist it. I originally went to Enna store to check out her gorgeous matryoshka wrapping paper but ended up with a onesize! I'm blaming it on the fact that I have an awful summer cold and my head is all clogged up.

Take the Handmade Pledge and buy handmade this Christmas, it's a while lot of fun (and seriously addictive).

Early Summer Sun

It must be the early summer sun that's making me go crazy for all these beautiful colours. These ceramic pieces are by New York artsist Lorena Barrezueta. She's 27, beautiful and incredibly talented. What a wonderful combination.
Lorena hopes to challenge our idea of 'quality, value and high end design' with her porcelain interpretations of disposable food containers. The pieces above are from her 'fresh' collection. However, the 'classic' & 'lush' collections are pretty special too.

Mes Textiles

I came across to this website thanks to the Ladle who is in love with the patchwork cushions by Mes. I myself love this table. Take a look at the other amazing objcets from this quirky Dutch company. You could fill a whole house with these fantastic colours.

Bride & Wolfe

I bought a new mobile for the nursery last week at the Magnolia Square market. It is made by Bride & Wolfe and I just couldn't resist the Mummy & Baby owl....so sweet. This photo was taken looking into the nursery which is in the process of being painted. I think the mobile will eventually hang above the change table to entertain baby.
The gorgeous Bride & Wolfe mobiles are made in Melbourne and can also be found at Douglas & Hope; and Moss.
