Sproutdesign...

Some of you would have read about this on Kristen's blog already but I still want to mention it here and show you what I came up with.

Sproutdesign, which falls under the umbrella of One Small Room, asked a group of Australian textile designers to come up with new and fresh kids textiles. The range will be launched this August at the Life in Style trade show in Melbourne.

I submitted a few designs and this is the lucky one...a real boy's one...

These are not the final colour ways...just screenshots of what I created.

and here a picture of all the designs that will be launched at the Life in Style show.

interior design...

Rebekah from One Small Room sent me these pictures for a job she recently did, decorating a luxury house boat. I'm over the moon and so was the owner...simply stunning!













don't forget about the free goodies in my shop when you spend $60 or more

One Small Room - Adelaide

We went to visit One Small Room in Adelaide on Sunday...what a fantastic shop!
see for yourself...





















We met Rebekah, who is absolutey lovely, and Marcel bought me some yummie Polli earrings.

On Monday we visited the Barossa Valley and I got to stock up on my favourite wine, a frontignac from Grant Burge. Since they don't sell it anywhere in the shops they're sending a dozen of them to our house :) I don't say no to free shipping.

Tuesday was our last day in Adelaide and in the morning we visited the famous Adelaide market and the city centre. In the afternoon we had a drink with Leah at the beautiful pub near her house. Great to see you again Leah, thanks!

That was our short trip to Adelaide and anyone who makes fun of Adelaide being a boring place...go have a look...I think it's a great place...but I guess you should decide for yourself.

many things...

Today was such an exciting day...and it contains the other half of the news I was telling you about in my previous post.

My fabric is now available at meet me at mikes, Patchwork on Central Park and One Small Room. It was so exciting because I dropped it off at meet me at mikes today and got to meet Pip, she's so lovely and it was absolutely fantastic to meet her. We then went to Patchwork on Central Park and they were great too, although I didn't get to meet Lynn and Narelle...maybe next time. I'm loving this crafty business...

Tonight we're hosting a dinner at our place. I was a little over-excited this morning as I proposed to have a BBQ. Didn't really think about the temperatures at night...ooops. Well, we're still having a bbq-style dinner but we're cooking inside.

Since I don't really have any piccies of crafty stuff to post, I thought I'd show you who I am. This photo was taken in Narooma last December, when my parents & brother came to Australia and we drove from Melbourne to Sydney to celebrate New Year with Marcel's parents.
