Upcycled Clutch Tute :: Mollie Makes

Super pleased to have been asked by Mollie Makes magazine 

to do a tutorial on my upcycled clutch bags.

Here I have used a vintage table cloth, positioning the flap to make a feature 

of the vintage button and the lining is made from

Curlypops Go Granny fabric! {adore that fabric!}

Out now in the UK, or available digitally elsewhere. 

Will be available in print here in Australia, in a couple of weeks!xx

my week

Getting back into the swing of things after not being well last week.

The Frida phenomenon continues, with some more thread drawn

faces going off to some shops and also on Etsy. 

A personalized custom order doll.

She is a 1st birthday present, made from the little girls new born clothes.

Being hand delivered today, by the Mr!

A gorgeous basket for a new plant -

found during a fun Ikea trip with an inspirational lady!

Vintage find :: the most wonderful colourful wall vase..

I've been looking for one for ages,

but all the ones I came across were very boring!

The girls have been calling me outside every 2 seconds 

to show me new Passionfruit flowers - so exciting on our

less than a year old plant! We now have some actual 

Passionfruit to stare at too - love them! (and that colour)

Also this week - Miss Gilda made an appearance

in a photo shoot for the new Dulux Effects paint range.

She fits right in with the pink and polkadots!x

The new Winter issue of Shop 4 Kids magazine is out now!

And if you look closely you might spot

And you might just spot Edvard

I love this feature - there are loads of soft toys that I've never come across before.

Get you're copy at your (Australian) news agent now!x
