bags of joy

hello again,

i bought so much fabric yesterday to make into bags. i was at the material store looking around, and i thought to myself 'i'll just look in the $2 bin and see what there is'. and there was such good stuff! normally it's all polyester offcuts and sequins and stuff, but there was denim and plaid and stripes in nice thick cotton for bags.

so soon there will be bags in my store for all, and they will be lovely. with bears and balloons and giraffes and rabbits and dachshunds on them. (hopefully).

here is one i made (and put in my store) earlier. little birds! in a forest. i've made others but this one grows on me the more i have it. it's lovely and denim and felt birds and iron on fabric which i love love love and even made me buy an iron.

anyway, hope you are all having a lovely sunny day. it's very sunny here, almost good enough for basil planting take 2. every year i buy basil on the first warm day, and it gets eaten by snails the next day which is invariably cold, and because of which if the snails didn't eat it the frost would've got it. then take 2 happens about a fortnight later, usually maybe 1 plant survives? keep you posted :)

more drunken fun

This is a top I made for my friend Jo for her birthday. It has since had the addition of gin, but even without gin I think it's great. Yay for Drunk Rabbits! Boo for hangovers... but yay for that white wine I was drinking :)

Also yay for Art Safari, possibly the only teevee show worth watching? Big crush on the director/ producer/ presenter Ben Lewis.

Boo for wheat.

Make stuff

Sew, stuff. This is my work space, and then the beginnings of a drunk rabbit, and then the end of a drunk rabbit.

I made myself this little drunk rabbit stuffed toy. It's a tiny little thing, probably about 3.5 inches tall. It was meant to be a pin cushion but I feel too mean. Drunk Rabbit, since the time I took this photo, has & Friends. I will show you soon, but coz they're so little they need full sunlight to photograph them and it's a cloudy day. I am meant to sell them but I can't. They're too nice. I said after each one 'I will sell the next' but it's not happening... not too worry.

Also coming soon are toucan badges, and toadstool badges. The toucans are pretty damn cool. I've also been making loads of Drunk Rabbit badges, so I can add them to my store, and working on some other neat stuff for you (if I can wrench it away).

Also, you can buy my stuff now at Corky Saint Clair, which is under Flinders St Station in melbs. More on this soon.
