Ok it time to admit it.....I really don't have the time to blog much anymore, I know, sniff sniff...... I feel a bit sad about it as it is something I really enjoy and even needed, when I first started. But how life changes hey! When I started this blog I had a little baby and was in a little town, not working much.....now that little boy is going to school in a few weeks and we live

Remember I mentioned that the guru of creating, Wendy, has come up with a new women's top from her 'Piece' range......well here is my new top......Love it!! Made by using beautifully chosen silk scarfs so they feel amazing on. I wore mine to work the next day and got some great comments and of course I felt fab! More pic's and info on Wendy's blog.....

Last Wednesday I trotted down to the Main St Market in Mornington to get my 'Wendy' fix. Its so nice she comes down this way every week and I can see her face and the 'makings' she has been up to...... I was also cheeky and put a couple of cot quilts and bunting into her stall, she was happy as more stock makes for a 'juicy' looking stall............. ......and I was super

Since moving, way back in August I haven't really shown much of what has been going on around this new place.So yesterday after I came back from the movies with the boys ( we saw TinTin and yes it is very cool!), I had an urge to rearrange miss Bonnie's room. We decided to wait until holidays, so this was it!So of course I needed to take pic's to remember how nice it looks tidy ( even

A few weeks ago, um actually a few months ago really, I was putting out the rubbish at work and discovered a wooded tree that was broken hanging out of those great big bins....so of course seeing the possibilities I snapped of some leaves and finally last week painted them for this..... ...the jewellery cabinet at the Page 8 shop on Hampton st.....really highlights the silver and adds

I am now officially the worst member of Blogtober! All I can say is sorry to my pathetic attempt to blog every day...what was I thinking!!

During the July school holidays we took a road trip back to visit family in the Adelaide Hills. These are some pic's of our family outing to the city...central Markets for a yummo lunch.... .....and a stroll down Rundle Mall. The kids Aunty Brijelle and cousin Amara... Aunty Charlotte and Amara's big sister Jasmine in front of the 'mall's ball's'!

I should call this my 'frustrating' creative space this week! I have been working on slip covers for two chairs, so four all up, for the lovely girl who ordered all these cushions. Thought it would be pretty easy but it's not, because I want them to fit nice and snug....and it does not help that my mind just is not on the job and it now has been dragging on for weeks!!

Well another window display completed last weekend. I thought using nice warm colours for winter with a splash of fresh green would be nice! Pity about the reflection.....mmm, classy with me concentrating on the photo taking! Any ideas or websites that would give me more inspiration are always welcome!

    Last week, I think...time goes so fast, I found these great old books! Beautiful pic's in the faraway tree. Finn came home from camp which he tried horse riding for the first time and loved it, so I couldn't go past the horse book. Love these illustrations! Look at that blanket! This ones from the knitting & Crochet book. Now the best score was the Woman's Day handicraft books..wow!

His has discovered the show 'Fresh Prince of Belair'....remember that, with Will Smith?His been taking style tips from it.....shh, we better not tell him I let that out, I'll be in big trouble!

Warning, pretty bad pic's as I rushed out the door yesterday, and for some reason when I rotate my photo's to the right side up, they don't stay that way anymore,  just so you know the top (my new fav) cushion is upside down and the bottom one needs to be flipped to the left.I just needed to explain that as I am a little frustrated and just want 'things' to work, especially when they have before

For about two years now Ive been saying I'm going to learn how to crochet for the winter, and finally it's happened! Very exciting! So how did I learn you may ask? .....Well I popped over to the meet me at mikes blog and Pip has an amazing step by step video instructions, and once I watched and got the hang of it I also followed along with the instructions in my 'meet me at mikes' book ,and

So here's the thing, we have this funny little 'room' that comes off the back door leading outside..make sense? You also head out the laundry through it to get outside. Getting the idea? It's a funny little spot that cant really be used for much as it only has a screen door leading outside so it's freezing in winter, also there is no power point anywhere! Am I making sense? Hope so!

This is not a magazine I usually get a lot of 'real' life inspiration from, usually it is all a bit 'too' nice for me, if you get what I mean? I love it still, don't get me wrong! Anyway, I was super surprised the other day while flicking through someone elses copy of Vogue Living I came across this... .....a fantastic article about a little cafe in Paris, but not your everyday cafe..., It's

So here we go...'What's in the box?' I have often wondered what people keep in their tins, baskets, boxes that I see in other studio's, so thought I'd share what's in some of mine! In my green singer sewing box I have a collection of zips,trim, ribbon & bias binding. Most of this collection is from my Nanna's stash or of course op shop finds! In the plastic tub is my collection of handed down

Yes of course I have been Op Shopping...every week!! Just haven't had the time to 'snap' and share! Just a cute little painting and green vase found  after a quick 'pop in' after work one day! Tablecloths...fabric and ...... .....of course Another Tablecloth...love this colour!! For more amazing finds Check it out here!

It may seem like I took ages doing this clean up but in actual fact the studio was all cleaned up the very next day! My sewing table, Pin cushions, sewing boxes and and inspiration wall Just took some time to take photos.....sometimes that just happens, right?! Work already in progress, Curtains up and My new $3 chair, that spins around and goes up and down and nice back support, very spiffy!

Oh my poor baby girl! She started throwing up last night and then for the rest of the night! What bad timing as she had a fun filled day planned today with her bestie then a stay over at her Aunties place....she is very disappointed! I hope it was just something she ate and not a hideous bug that we all will get.....arhh! I have to admit it has been nice looking after my girl, all the mothering

This is my first overnight bag!It was a request from one of the lovely girls I work with! This was sooo much fun to make...and I am really happy with it! Sorry the photos are so bad....I hastily took the pic's on my way running out the door to deliver the bag at work! The black fabric was just what I needed, it was a score at my Finn's school fete.... you know how even though there is a

It is scary let me tell you..... Things had got Out of control!! and that's an understatement! Material and different 'projects' scattered everywhere! I'm not sure how this happened overflow everywhere! This is the clean up process....start making piles, it's the only way I know how to begin..... Half a day later things are looking better I promise....pic's to come!

Wow I was quite taken aback with all the lovely comments after my 'snippets' posts! I just wanted to say thank you for all the encouraging and thoughtful comments, they mean a lot! I felt quite missed I must say, so will do my best not to leave too much time in between posts....... and you never know there may be more 'snippets' in the future! This pile of books was my reward for working today!

My Man's fav red chair witch now has a new cushion I made the other day, the cream fabric with flowers used to be a vintage shirt of mine that never really fitted very well! Our little entry table, may have mentioned before, this was a side of the road find by a lovely friend, still deciding what to do with it, the top has a big crack in it....idea's anyone? Loving the basket, an op shop find

Just because is the answer for 'Why this post'? I felt like taking snaps from around my house...the kitchen to be exact! These great tins are for Ollie's craft stuff, one full on pencils & texta's the other has paper, stickers, and bits and bobs. He is so into colouring in at the moment! Little 'tea' nook'. Loving our knives up on the wall, an idea we got after visiting friends and we came

So, a tiny house and only three bedroom with house of five, yep someone has to share!So it's miss Bonnie's turn to share with the Ollie boy, I know a little strange with an almost 15yr old girl sharing with her 4yr old brother.....but it's working! Ok she was not too impressed when it all happened, there were some tears, for maybe all of 5 min, but then she just got over it and on with it! It

My big boy has his own room.....this is huge!! He is now 12 and has been sharing with Mr 4yr old, he has been so patient for about a year now! He has desperately wanted and needed his own space. It is his turn to have a place to spend time alone, play his guitar, read or just clear his head! I didn't know how intense this age was going to be... I can see how frustrated he gets with himself

Well again...long time no blog! Any hoo that's life, my life anyway, which has been busy doing nothing incredible special....just work, sew, kids, house, cook...blah blah blah! Moving on to far more interesting things......I am just so happy to be part of the creative space this week! I decided to have a go at making a cover for my notebook. This was a bit of fun! I made it all colourful and

I have been sewing...see!  There are two of these matching cushions! I have made these to fit a normal pillow size as I wanted a big cushion, then I thought how clever am I because now these can be used as a feature pillow on a bed or as a cushion on a big lounge...which many people have! Aah, sometimes things just work out! Anyway these beauties might be destined for another shop in Mornington

I have this amazing friend who has a gift, yes that's is defiantly what it is a gift, for what? Well she is an amazing op shopper, yes I count this as a gift  for sure! She has an eye for it, she can find things that may be stuffed behind something not so special and pull out a treasure*....like this funky platter! Now I can find plenty of goodies too I might add but she is in a league of her

Very Exciting new on the front here! If you hadn't already guessed... Little Shop of Handmade is now a stockist of dorothybills pouches! I am just so thankful to wonderful little shops like this one and Blackbird Corner who are willing to give us crafters/sewers/creators of bits & bobs a go.....thank You! My Poppet is another new 'label' also at this fab shop, and I got these pic's from her...

A little bit of creativity was had on the weekend. I got a customer order from a lady looking for a library bag for her little girl. At first I thought of just using calico with some patches or something on it, but it just wasn't 'me'.....you know? So as far a pink goes, which I find hard to use and collect I am pretty happy with the results! So looking forward to seeing if the customer is happy

We are trying to take a nice mother son pic of ourselves but little Ollie boy couldn't help but pull some sort of face, so....

She is an amazing, strong, beautiful, loyal and caring Woman, Mother and  friend, my heart goes out to her. xx

Yay I have been meaning to make this cushion for a year for my Mother in law.The cross stich was a gift to her from her best friend, way back in 2002 and it has always been packed away waiting to be framed or something?So anyway I suggested I make it into a cushion and that way she can enjoy it!Ages ago I found these fabric off cuts at, of course the

Exciting news! You can now find dorothybills goodies at this gorgeous new shop called Hiinde in Mornington....yay! The dream is coming true....selling to a store!           (dorothybills cushions....!) I happened to pop in there one day just to check it out, as it looked interesting the day I had my face squished up to the window  when it was closed so couldn't wait to get in during opening

I haven't made cushions in a while, so a few weeks ago I started these for my last Mulgrave Makers Market. Love the greens! I was wrapped when it came to finding a cushion to stuff them, this size I made (fluked by the way), would fit a normal pillow, so because I ran out of time I was able to run down to 'woolies' and grab  a couple of pillows....brilliant!I know I probably should have

I have been sewing in the last few weeks, yes indeed. These are some more of my little fabric pouches, I have improved these by making one side lower at the top so they sit nicer when folded. I'm loving these fabric's, some lovingly donated by a friend, lucky me!

With the warmer weather shining through the clouds I felt the need to add a touch of colour to our bedroom, normally it's all creams & browns. It's not necessarily what I had in mind, actually I had nothing in mind, but as always I try and use what I have....so out came the blue cushions for a splash of colour.Really should make myself some new ones, I think I'm last on the sewing list at the

I'm back on line...in the land of the living and all that! I have a love hate relationship with computers, I love them when they do everything I want them to do and really hate them when they don't, simple really! So I wont bore you with details but lets just say I'm very happy with my teeny tiny laptop at the present! So I have missed doing this...have you missed all my ramblings? I'm trying to

Yay!  My boy Ollie and I  weaved our way through the streets.....my heart started to race....You should see what people throw out!

May have that a little muddled up, correct me if I'm wrong! I have loved the work of Picasso since High School when I studied art, I was fascinated by him. He used so many elements and had so many different styles, I think he is

I'm joining in this week with My Poppet for animation Friday, I couldn't resist when I took these pic's of my boy Finn...there was no way I could pick just one! He is such a character and an actor..... always pulling funny faces...I'm sure he's a bit of a class clown at school! And the thank you part of of this post goes to Wendy from Little Tree Kids who is making a new range of floor

I was looking at the pic's on my phone the other day and I found these of Miss Bonnie.  Little mister Ollie had once again taken over my iPhone and  was snapping away, but what a great job he did...pretty good for not even four! I love the fact that even though they are ten years apart they can still giggle and enjoy each others company....well most of the time anyway, they are no angels that's

It has been pretty slow around here with creativity....well much slower than I'd like.I had such great plans to be a sewing 'machine' this month so I had lots of goodies to take to the next market but alas there has just been a lot of 'household duites' to attend to (boring).  So I think it time to get out of the kitchen/laundry/bathroom/kids room....enough is enough! So what I have managed to

During the fabulous blogtoberfest I won a giveaway from Willy Wagtail......and what a giveaway! So So generous, I just couldn't believe my eyes when it arrived!! Look what was in the box..... A couple of tablecloths, love that seersucker one! Three cane place mats, and some other funky fabric place mats that I'm sure will be turned into something else....... How about these great bag handles.

As I said in my last post...I have had a very productive week at the oppies! Here some of my new found treasures.....This little basket tray with handles, perfect for market stall displays! Another white vase to add to the collection, I don't usually buy many anymore as I limit myself to under $10 (and that has to be super special), so I was happy this one was a whole $3! Just a little more

Things have been pretty slow in blog land for me last week as my tiny teeny laptop had to go to the computer 'know it all' and get some major fixing.....but we are now back on line!! But I have had a very productive op-shop week, getting an assortment of goodies!

These are the end results from my productive sewing day on Thursday at Wendy's!

How cute is this!! My happy hour this week was on Wendensay when a freind and I took our pre-schoolers to a specaial 'kids day in the park' put on by all the local Pre-Schools in the area. Such a fantastic thing to do, each pre-school had set up a different activity to do, play dough, glitter painting, clay modeling, woodwork (Ollie's fav..just wanted to hammer nails), basketball, soccer,

I was lucky enough to have a fantastic today sewing at Wendy's house! We sat in her amazing sun filled back room, set up our machines and got creative...we must of been on the same wave length as we were both doing cushions today for our next Market, I also made a couple of cushions ( forgot to take pic's of the end product) for my sister's wedding anniversary present (orange fabric you can see)

Today I am taking thinks slowly....I feel the need for some catch up and quiet time. So I am sitting at my computer and planning on sending a few replies to the lovely people who wished me well at the market on Sunday, it is really touching that people are thinking of little me. I also got a really nice txt from my good friend in Adelaide that made me smile and warmed my heart on the day, so I

First of all, whoops I have missed another day of Blogtoberfest, sorry but I had a good excuse! Mulgrave Makers Market! Yay, it was beautiful weather, just perfect, thank goodness! This market is run by some really lovely ladies, so helpful and friendly and were just as excited about us stallholders being there as we were. Actually all the stall holders were so nice, what a great bunch of ladies

I will be next door to Little Tree Kids so we can chat,  giggle like school girls, look at each other with crazy eyes if the need arises, sip tea....or hopefully find a yummy coffee, you get the idea....just being supportive as this is our first one

My happy hour this week was just the simple pleasure of seeing my boy watering our very small collection of herbs, the sun was shinning and he just didnt want to stop...I had to tell him that was enough for fear of drowning them! Just loving the weather!! I decided to combine my happy hour this week with animation Friday, thought the pic's would look cute that way and is a bit of fun! So

This amazing looking market is on this weekend in Melbourne and it sounds Fantastic!! Really hoping to go with my girl and check it out.....'hoping' I can make it, so hard to fit 'everything' in on the weekends sometimes and I think when the sun is shining ( which is delightful by the way) there are even more things we want to squeeze in and keeps us so busy, do you find that? So I may bump

No no it's not 'that' kind of happy hour!  What I thought would be good was, every Friday you post something that has made you happy during the week, put a smile on your face! It can be anything you want, a nice thought, feeling or memory, something that you have created, maybe something you did or said, somewhere you went .......anyway no rules it is just a nice way to take stock and 'smell

I have to say my family is pretty happy that I have been a bit more creative this week in the cooking department, the sunshine of Spring does that to me!
