I was going to draw this giveaway the old fashioned way with little scrunched up paper names, but being the nerdy IT teacher that I am, I decided to leave it in the hands of digital fate.
Thank you to the lovely Jiah from Elephant & Rose who wrote a lovely comment on her blog and got an extra number in the draw. You can see her beautiful designs here!
But the lucky winner -  number 3, thanks to the trusty random number generator, is Bianca from Hollabee. Bianca is a Melbourne based designer who has a gorgeous blog that you can check out here!
Thanks again for the lovely feedback. I will have some new designs and colours available in my shop very soon :)

 On top of many little crafty projects that I have had going on lately, I have also been inspired to dust of my screens and print again. I have had this jersey fabric lying around for some time and decided to give it a new purpose. I am quite happy with the result, they are light weight, soft and perfect for dressing up an outfit now that the weather is getting cooler.

Above are a few examples of my prototypes, I am currently in the process of printing some new designs and colours and will have them for sale in my online shop soon. I will also be having a little giveaway shortly so stay tuned!

crafty holiday project #5

I'm having so much fun giving my old vintage lamps a new look. This particular one I was so happy with that I just had to keep it for myself!

crafty holiday project #3

A few years ago I was involved in a group exhibition called 'Partly Cloudy' where I decorated cloudy shapes on cute vintage plates. I was overwhelmed with the response that I received from these and even more excited when they sold.

Since then, I have been collecting gorgeous plates which I will be decorating with my designs and creating limited edition wall art pieces. Each set will consist of a cluster of three unique, one of a kind designs.

I've been having so much fun arranging plates and cutting decals the last few days. More pictures and info to come. Stay tuned!

crafty holiday project #2

Am really loving up-cycled lamps at the moment. A great way of showcasing ones own fabrics, of course! I have many, many vintage lamp bases in my garage that have been waiting to be loved again and finally a little time off to do so!

crafty holiday project #1

It has been a very long time between posts. My new life as a school teacher has left me very little time for my creative life. That however, is all about to change. I have some new and exciting ideas for future projects and maybe even a big move is on the horizon. So stay tuned!

For now, while the sun is still out, I have dug out one of my old Bentwood chairs and given it a new look. I tried desperately to erase the memory of how long it took me to strip it back from it's original white and just went for it. I am quite happy with the result!
