Keen to try out this little technique soon. From Golden Hands again.

Another image from Golden Hands. These dolls feature a lot through the magazine. Bit weird but I like them. Wish I had knitted shorts and a matching vest and wallpaper like that.

Jewellery inspiration from 70's craft magazine Golden Hands. My friend has a huge stack that she inherited from her Mum and they are AMAZING.

I've just come to the end of an amazing 3 months worth of travel in Europe during Summer. Here are some of my favourite photos from Greece.

delicious and fresh desert

new weavings based on traditional patterns

a couple of weeks ago a friend and i visited kangaroo valley. we went horse riding, ate, drank wine and visited antique shops. one was mainly full of old books and i bought myself a copy of The Grapes of Wrath by John Steinbeck... yet to start it. so love old books though. and old doors.

Beattie Lanser has opened a shop near my house. she makes the best clothes and is the loveliest girl!

i've only managed to visit a couple of times but last time I went I scored the best pair of shorts.

this is them with this little jumper thing from Lion in Love in melbs. i think the two make a nice couple.

(please excuse my average photography and carpet background)

beautiful shots from her new "South Coast Winter Romance" collection

this is my fave outfit from her etsy store. yummest colour combo. would so like to buy it except i'm trying to save my pennies for europe!

ps all photos (except my avs one) are from Beattie Lansers website here

little card I made for my friend

had trouble deciding which side of the paper to use cause I cut out the beach scene then flipped it over and got the interestingly framed tense man being arrested and distressed lady watching. I went for the first one but was quietly loving them both so took a picture! that's the trouble with cutting up old picture books, there's always something good on the other side.

screen shot from my pinterest 'colours' board

incase you don't know what pinterest is, it's my most favourite internet invention yet. it's the easiest and most aesthetically pleasing way to categorise pictures you're drawn to (and don't want to forget) while cruising around the internet.

Reading my daily dose of the design files this morning I was surprised and thrilled in equal measures to notice my name mentioned in Fiona Scanlan's interview having made some crochet necklaces for her last summer range to be sold in all of her gorgeous shops around Melbourne.
I felt honoured in the first place to collaborate with Fiona Scanlan for Big and Fiona and now for my name to be mentioned on the amazing and ever inspiring design files, well that just completely made my day!

Here are some pics of the crochet necklaces I made for BIG and Fiona
