a wedding

It was a glorious weekend, the weather on the Mornington Peninsula was beautiful. A perfect time for a wedding, my cousin got married. It was the first time my girls had seen a 'bride' and they weren't disappointed.
She looked gorgeous ... dress, flowers, hair, everything ... even the venue was beautiful and they had the perfect Friday afternoon.

... yes a wrist cuff/bracelet ...

After chatting to a friend at Red Hill Market, she informed me that it took her ages to work out what the image was of in my photo.

Obviously I have necklaces on the chair and a belt, but the other item was a mystery ...

Let me explain, it is a fabulous NEW wrist cuff or bracelet, made from some gorgeous fabrics, lots of frills and joined around the wrist with press studs. I have them in both collections and truly believe you will love them.

Come and see my them and other great products at Magnolia Square
October 21, 22 and 23.

school's back ...

This is what my kids have spent a great deal of time doing on the holidays, and yes it was by choice!! Both of them are mad for 'monkey bars' or just 'bars' as the 10 year old says, and because we don't have any they improvised
(as kids do).
The trampoline gets moved under the flying fox line and they hook themselves over the cord and they do 'tricks', it has kept them entertained for hours and I (and any visitor) have spent many minutes/hours watching the latest trick/flip.


We have had a great holiday, visit to the Peninsula Hot Springs, weekend at Phillip Island, many sleepovers, a couple of movies and heaps of other things!!

But we are ready to go back to school ... I really need more time at the sewing machine!!

a beautiful Sunday ...

What to do on a perfect October Day? Gardening/Weeding ...

For my friends and family (and fellow bloggers!) here is a picture of our front garden bed - without weeds!
(It's amazing I know)

Kind father-in-law and equally kind husband weeded this garden bed this morning and what a difference it has made, I plan on mass planting some grasses and then back filling with mulch (of course).
My job was to take all weeds to fire pile and prune trees, which I hope will grow more now that they are not being suffocated by weeds.

old & new images ...

After reading the Mag Sq post about the Polaroid tool that you can use
I decided to give it a go and here are the results.
I used an old photograph of myself, wasn't I cute, missing teeth and all!!

and also a picture from my current range!
I love the results, something different and fun.

our tree

While I have been busy sewing and making stock for upcoming markets,
our tree has been slowly coming to life!
This is the view as you look out our main window, the most gorgeous tree ever, and the beginning of Spring it is at it's best, long tassels appear in a beautiful pink hue, getting longer and longer until they blow off in the breeze and the leaves come out the top.

Such a wonderful sight - this means Spring to me.

sweet pea collection ...

I am drip feeding you images of my new summer collections while I get my website organised.

Another great image, my three-quarter pants/long bloomers in slate grey, front pockets, contrasting side zip (size 6-10) and matching ties around the leg (sewn in) and best of all adjustable elastic!! I am delighted with these pants, they match back with everything in my collection.
Available in size 2, 4, 6, 8 & 10.

Soft pink ruffle tee, layered lace necklace with bow and gorgeous butterfly headband ... more to come!!
