another etsy treasury...

I'm loving all these Aussie made treasuries...especially when my fabric is included ;)
A huge thank you to Martine from Green Olive!

mix packs...

a few more mix packs in the shop now...



I'm running very low on orange clay bricks, so if you like this fabric...get it now because I'm not quite sure yet whether I'll re-expose this screen.

etsy treasury...

The lovely Danielle from Of Paper & Thread put together a great looking etsy treasury! Thank you for including my floating in red on cream.



Off to frock up for Kristin's exhibition and a lovely dinner at Movida with some very talented crafty ladies :)

my spot @ ink & spindle...

You've all had a peek into Lara's spot in the office...it's time to show you mine :)



very happy with it...check the ink & spindle blog for more updates...

surprise package...

A while ago I sent some scrap fabric to Sherrin and she made badges from the fabric. I love seeing what people make of my fabric and yesterday when I got home from work, there was a lovely surprise package in my mailbox. A thank you from Sherrin. Isn't it gorgeous, I totally love the badges and the big pouch is going to be a pencil case in the studio :)
Thank you Sherrin, I love the surprise!



Now I'm off to the studio...we're about to prepare our table surface...another step closer to our first print run. I popped into the studio after work yesterday and the girls had been so sweet to build my desk chair that had arrived, they're stars! Can't wish for any better business partners. I'll take some pictures of my workspace today so I can show them later.

bloesem at home

Irene from Bloesem asked me to share a few of my favourite design pieces at home, as part of the 'your own private museum' series. You can find the end result on her blog...



I found it quite hard, since I only moved to Australia in 2005 and even though we've bought so much stuff, there is nothing that I have from 'my past'. The only thing reminding me of my past in Holland is a trunk full of books. One day I'm hoping to ship some family pieces down to Australia...such as the amazing cradle that we all slept in, even mum.

I'd really like to thank Irene for this amazing opportunity! I really enjoy looking at what everyone is showing...it's like a little sneak peak into people's private world.
