I'm in here !

The green minty cozy .....

The poppytalk holiday look book is up and I'm there too ! page 55 ... alongside some very talented artists and beautiful pieces, I feel inspired to make and create more pieces .. now only if the rest of the household would let me !

I caught sight of this idea:

Using a hula hoop as a "loom" for weaving a rug .. so of course I had to have a go. So far I have this :

Although having said all that in the text below - I like this part .. maybe its the Oreo colour combination ...

Looking a little wonky in this one !

I wanted to use wool asI really like these knitted poufs from CB2 and felt that the wool would give a similar feel.

or I now see that World Market have a version ...

Anyway .... I got this cream and brown combo in the Jo-Ann sale ... I'm not sure about it at all, I think the problem is that I have two sofas .. orange and burgandy .. yes I know its a weird mixture and as an ex-colour designer I hate to admit it ... but the burgandy sofa is really white and was left for me by the lovely Clive who returned to England and swapped it for a lunch at the Hunters Hall, Kingscote. but, I digress, he left it with a burgandy throw which is protecting it from children and dogs ... so now with this public confession I must add " buy new throw" to the ever  expanding do-do list.

.. what I meant to say was .. Jo-Ann's didn't have any greens or oranges so I chose the brown and cream, and now I'm not in love with them as I have no place for brown and cream rugs in my house .... give away ? Christmas gift ? suggestions ?

Hello lovely shoppers, look forward to a 10% discount and free shipping during black Friday weekend ( Nov 26 - 29th )

Phew,  resized and revamped photos for Poppytalk and uploaded them ... if I ever sell anything I need to start a fund for a faster computer - so buy buy buy !

Congratulations!


Your shop has been selected for the Poppytalk Handmade "Pre-Holiday" market (an open-themed event) running - Nov. 7th - Dec. 2, 2011.

I WON !!!!

I can't believe it, I was up really late gussying up the photos of my acorn cozies and getting them in the shop .. and I WON !

And I have these bags too:

The Book Bag, it looks sort of flat - well I suppose it would as its a book bag, but not sure how best to photograph it .. any ideas ?

Second Book Bag, with the book spine print .... this one is my lino cut whereas the BB number 1 and the wine bag are printers blocks.

Wine Bag ... Read / Red ... hahaha

Brown paper packages ...

I got slightly sidetracked from the acorns to my Franken Fluff line, I took the idea to my children's  school as part of their autumn fundraiser the Ivandoedown .. take a look:

Uniquar and Pola the twins, training on the high wire.

The Cat in the Lion, Ringmaster of the Franken Fluff Circus.

Super Hop, the cannonball flyer ..

Grrr ... Mikellier .. the guard dog of course ...

Peep, the little trapeze sheep dog.

Proffesor Pin Head, the pyrotechnic wizard of the show.

Wild Sheep, the clown.

Wild Hop, the knife thrower.

Which are your favourites ? I like Wild Hop the knife thrower, partially I think becasue of the jaunty angle of his head.

 Adding to the acorn frenzy - bejewelled ones .. these seem to work better on a chain, to match up with the metal work on the clasp ....
