lazy/busy

I don't have anything for the blog this week.

It's not that I haven't done anything, (remember that whole newborn + burgeoning teen thing?) but as far as getting my craft on, there's nothing new that I've finished and taken pretty pictures of. There's a LOT on the go though, that I'm excited about - watch this space!

So instead let me point you in the direction of another of my favourite craftie blogs; the charming (and terribly pretty) SparklePanda Designs. Miss Panda's blog is actually the one that inspired me to start cataloguing my own stuff again, after sadly allowing my previous blog to lie fallow for far too long.

However in the interests of honesty I must admit to the tiniest twinge of professional envy that her w.a.h.m. business is so much more successful than mine ever was. Hmmph.


Also, I found this fabric at my local craft store recently, it's a gorgeous strong homespun cotton and just the most adorable print ever for a girl like me.


It was quite expensive so I only got a little bit, 100 x 115cm. What should I make from it?

bigger than everyone



I posted in my entry to Meet Me At Mike's Envelope Project today.

Meet Me At Mike's is (among other things!) one of my favourite crafty, nannaly blogs, and the Envelope Project is such
a gorgeous idea. Read all about it here, or for a more condensed overview, read all about it... er... here.

Running until July 26 (which, incidentally, was my own dear nanna's birthday), you can send into Meet Me At Mike's an envelope filled with... anything. Anything sweet and little and easily postable will do. I sent in a selection of origami animals I made from yuzen chiyogami washi.


Then... and here's the fabulous bit... they will send to one lucky poster ALL the stuff that's been sent. Can you imagine?! I think it's the most delightful idea.

At half way through the six week period they've received 280 envelopes of stuff already (281 now, including mine!), so get on board! Send your stuff to


Meet Me At Mike's
63 Brunswick St.
Fitzroy
VIC., 3065


and remember to put your name and address on the back, 'cause maybe you'll be the one to win it all! Yay.
