- Colours of Australia Sent Thursday, March 29, 2012 whip up » Newsletter This week I guest posted over at Ansie's place while she is travelling around Australia. The theme of my guest blog are the colours of Australia so click over to see some colour palettes from images from my last camping trip with family. The colours of the desert, the sunsets, the earth and the flowers. The image below is a flakey painted door next to some rich red bricks -- I love to make these colour palettes simply using photoshop but I also like to use online […]
- Banned from the kitchen Sent Thursday, March 22, 2012 whip up » Newsletter I have sort of been head down between the sewing machine and the sewing table and the sketch book and the design software working on a new project this week.

It was a good weekend, yes there was some moaning tired moody children (and […]
- It’s all about fabric around these parts Sent Friday, March 9, 2012 whip up » Newsletter I have put my crochet project on the slow train while the fabric cutting and sewing gets to go on the fast track. I have a deadline and need to get sewing. One day into sewing for a few hours straight and already my back is playing havoc -- early intervention is required. I have moved my sewing machine onto my kitchen bench height cutting table so I can stand and sew. And wow much easier, faster and better for back too. Especially great when cutting, sewing, […]
- Journey of self discovery + some quirky crafts Sent Friday, March 2, 2012 whip up » Newsletter As you know I finished by Scrappy steps afghan and mentioned that I was hunting around for a new crochet project. I have settled on Bullseye (which I fell in love with back here and again when Kate made it). I have made a bit of a start - my first circles are pictured below, and so far I am finding it meditative and interesting. I am going for clashing contrasting colours this time around and have chosen a very dark grey for the background (Rustic Graphite 8 […]
