Shop News

Just in time for Mothers Day, I've whipped up a new batch of Heart Brooches - cut from beautiful Tassie Blackwood, and featuring some of my original designs.

They all include free shipping!

I've also added new Un-Reel Pendant Necklaces - there are plenty of colours to choose from.

... including a Rainbow version!

They're all in the shop.

Happy Spring

 It's the first day of Spring. The sun is shining. The Op Shop Gods have been smiling.

After a little shopping, I came home and finished off this new batch of Rainbow Lifesavers Pendants.

Perfect to put a little Spring into your outfit!

Oppy find

Ahhhh Melbourne... it never fails to deliver four seasons every day

Edna was a little lonely

Donna Hay Choc Fudge pudding. There are NO words. I had to buy the cookbook.

Clean. Neat. At least for one day.

Check out this brilliant APP named IncrediBooth found via Kellie at 74 Lime Lane. It makes little photobooth filmstrips. I've made a collage of five strips lined up here.

A new finished batch of Un-Reel Pendants

I've been neglecting my dear old blog a little bit this week, but I've been juggling lots of different things behind the scenes.

I've made a start on a quilt order (before I ran out of interfacing), I've sewed thirty metres of curtain tape to the tops of pre-existing curtains, made lots of cushion covers, sent off a new batch of Spring coloured goodies to Open Drawer, updated my shop layout, and finished a new batch of Un-Reel Pendants.

I still seem to have a billion things to do... and I must get back to my Baguette Bag!

At least with all this rain, it seems a lovely day to stay home and sew.

How are you going with your bag sew-along? If I've missed your blog post please let me know so that I can add you to the sidebar and feature your bag on the blog.

Today I'm dropping off some Un-Reel Pendants at Open Drawer in Camberwell. Pop in and say hello to Robyn and Prue if you're in the vicinity!

I also need to add some snaps to finish off these sweet little bibs.

Oh and I must introduce you to my new love....

His name is Simon.

Little Shop Of - Now Bigger

There's much excitement happening at Little Shop Of... this week. Bec has moved a few doors down the street into a new larger shop!

You can now find Little Shop Of...  at 2 Woorayl St, Carnegie, Vic, 3163.

If you pop in for a visit, you'll now find my new Un-Reel Pendant Necklaces plus some new colourways in the Brooch Kits.

Say hi to Bec for me!

More Un-Reel

I've dusted myself off after yesterdays spectacular craftastrophe, and thankfully today has been much more successful.

I've added these three new colours to the shop. I'm hoping a bit of Apple Green, Citrus Orange and Cherry Red will brighten everyones day!

Reeled In

I've been playing with vintage cotton reels again... I just can't seem to help it.

What I really should be doing is making a second skirt for the Sew-Along.

I musn't forget to pack up my donated goodies for Cathie's Biggest Morning Tea on Sunday. Did you see her in the paper?

In other news, I'm now seeking monthly blog sponsors. Do you have a crafty business or blog that fits the bill? Check out my advertising page and feel free to email me with any questions.

Un-Reel

I was sitting on the couch earlier this week staring at just a teeny part of my collection of vintage cotton reels, when I had a little brainwave...

So I dragged out all of my jewellery making supplies, and made myself a new necklace (and a huge mess).

I've been wearing it for a few days and I love it.

So I thought I'd whip up a few more and pop them in the shop, just in time for Mothers Day next weekend.

You can find them right here.
