Brown Trading Company
Like a lot of bloggers I am the recipient of many spam comments and they are easy to spot because they are usually on posts that are quite old, from dodgy websites and sometimes just plain weird. This means I almost ignored the lovely Keren from Brown Trading Company when she left a comment about…

Snowflake envy
Winter is upon us and while I live in one of the colder parts of Australia it doesn’t get snow (well not very often). I sometimes wish I lived in a snowy part of the world and the few times I have, well… I really loved it. I know some of you reading this probably…

On ya bike
Tomorrow is the Big Canberra Bike Ride and I’ll be taking part with my good friend and cycling, swimming and walking buddy. I went for a ride yesterday in a new direction and just enjoyed the light filtering through the avenue of birch trees, the cool breeze, the warm sun and the whirring of my…

Prints Charming – The Book
As you know I recently did a screen printing on fabric course with the lovely Kate Ward. During the workshop (actually right from the beginning) she recommended I go and have a look at Prints Charming. She must have seen a similarity between styles that attract me and this store. I just love their fabric,…

Dinosaur Designs Reminiscing
I have been researching e-commerce shopping carts for a friend who mentioned that she really likes the Dinosaur Designs website.

I’ve narrowed my favourites down to four that all use fabric by the very talented Lara Cameron who is also based in Melbourne.…

Confession time again, I do that alot have you noticed? I have quite large calves… I notch this up to genetics, being a curvy girl, an extraordinarily large muscle at the top of my lower leg and my penchant for riding bicycles. Why is it that male cyclists are really lean and yet female cyclists…

A Fabric Find and Hawthorne Threads
My gorgeous friend Rach sent me a link to Hawthorne Threads last week and I was besotted. I don’t think I’ve seen such a gorgeous range of fabric under one ‘virtual’ roof. Luckily for me I was in need of some fabric for my boys’ birthday t-shirts and then I was just so inspired by…

Dorthe Hybel Ceramics
I seem to have an eye for jugs at the moment, which may explain why these caught my eye. Beautiful, right? I just love the shape of the milk jug (bottom left). These are by Dorthe Hybel a Danish Ceramics Designer and in Australia you can buy them from Elevate Design.

Seeing Green
No matter how I word the title today it just sounds wrong. Currently it would make me seem like the green-eyed monster, which I’m not. Previously I had stated simply what they are – Green Jugs – but there was something not quite right about that either. I love the colour green and it really…
