2 little projects..

...Well, my visit to the Young Blood Designers Market and the DesignBoom Mart at the Powerhouse Museum on Sunday certainly got my creative juices flowing!! My good Friend Anika (and her friend Svenja) had their '0049 Design' stall there which was really exciting. She makes some GORGEOUS things, like these felt boxes below. She's on Etsy too if you want to check it out!


The wonderfully supportive MrHoni said he'd divorce me (after we're married) next year if I don't get off my bum and actually start selling all the bits and pieces I make and talk about making.

So last night I managed to get 2 little projects off the ground!!
I've been really into and fascinated by Wire twisting lately and decided to use an old cordless drill to twist 4 bits of coloured wire (all stripped from an old television) together. I then wrapped the wire around nails that I hammered into a piece of wood in a circular pattern- and these twisty earrings above are the result. I'm pretty happy with them actually!

And this little munki man is the beginning of 2 projects - Mr Honi wanted a Tshirt with a monkey on it - so I'm going to try and either use fabric paint to stencil it on a shirt (or attempt screen printing!!) I also thought it would be a cute pattern for a few singlets I want to make for 2 dear friend who are having babies in a few months.

Nearly Christmas

Well it's nearly Christmas and I STILL haven't got my laptop fixed. I need to take it to a place which is about an hours drive away, and only open weekdays (typical) and so I really haven't been able to find the time to take it there. So posts have been sporadic when I find the time before / after work!


I finished my cards for the "postcard swap" through Nikishell's website. I had a lot of fun making them - i hope my recipients like them too :) I didn't realise how much cool stuff I had in my stash that I'd forgotten about!!!

I have been trying to also finish Christmas cards to send to my family and friends. I have been frantically cutting and gluing and my craft room currently looks like a fairy has vomited glitter everywhere!!!


I know bitch about how busy it is, but deep down I truly love the craziness! Christmas is totally my favourite time of year. Especially when you find THESE little gems at your local video store for sale!!!!!

These are my childhood memories or wonderful Christmases. Dad and I would sit together on the lounge and watch these moveis on Christmas Eve while mum did the final toches to the Christmas table, and we were allowed a few peices of ham before it was "done up nicely" for the table.
THEN to completely add to my excitement, the SMH then gave away my FAVOURITE christmas movie with the paper on Sunday! The lovely little man at the counter seemed a little shocked at my squeals of delight!

On another note, I am completely obsessed with several things at the moment...

Nuno Fabric (so, so , sooooo want to buy some!!)


Threadless Tshirts like this one (and with their $10 sale on, I might just have to buy it!)



My Friend Anika's things on Etsty (0049Design)

Ok, well posting time is over now - back to fun things like emails, phone calls, direct mailings, deadlines...ooo how exciting does that all sound!
