A picnic for Grace

Our super cute friend Grace had one of our picnics for her 30th birthday last weekend at Strickland House in Vaucluse and it was gorgeous. Here are a few snaps taken by the fabulous Claire!

The Ashes Picnics

Simon and I are really excited that we have been given the chance to make our hampers for The Ashes this year in the members area of the Sydney Cricket Ground. We are making 3 picnics and this weekend, our lovely friend and brilliant photographer, Greta, shot the picnics for us. Let the fun begin!

Coreymarie

I just came across this lovely site http://coreymarie.com, and LOVE these cute little mix tape brooches made from re-cycled book covers & buttons.

Would also love to get my mits on one of these recycled stationery sets - all my favourite colours rolled into one lovely, happy bundle!

A few of my favourite things today

Just so pretty.

And I am proud to say that we have our first sugar snap pea!!! Welcome to the world little pea.

Lanolips Lemonaid

Simon and I have spent the last few days baking and stitching and stuffing to prepare for these cute PR packs for 'Lanolips Lemonaid' that were sent out today to all the beauty eds of the mags here in Sydney and interstate ... really lovely product for your lips.. shiney and smelly! We made organic lemon curd slices and sourced other organic lemony things that we felt suited the brand...... oh... and I painted and stitched and wrapped and tied......

Adore Home Magazine

Simon and I have been lucky enough to be included in the first ever edition of new on line interiors magazine 'Adore Home', founded and created by designer Loni Parker. It lets you take a sneak peak into inspirational homes, looks at the latest products on the market and whisks you away to gorgeous holiday destinations.

If the super spring colours and fab homes in here don't inspire you, then I don't know what will!

How to sew a vintage bikini

This is soooo cute! I have a feeling that it might be a little out of my league on the needle craft front, but I'm going to give it a shot! I remember having a sweet cotton bikini as child... it always fell down when I went in the water. I think I'll stay on dry land when I've crafted this one! Pics to follow once I've made it!
