Whoo





This weekend I attended a beautiful baby shower. It was a lovely afternoon full of yummy cake, silly games and baby chatter. For the soon to arrive little one I made the above owl (with some valuable assistance from my Mum). The main body fabrics are by Kaffe Fassett, he produces some of the most inspiring patterns and colour combinations.

Getting crafty

Yesterday I had the most delightful day crafting with friends. We stenciled and stitched some little bonds clothing to create some fun and colourful baby outfits for my pregnant friend's impending arrival.




A lovely relaxing way to spend a cloudy Sunday.

Samantha Robinson ceramics

For my birthday I serendipitously received several porcelain pieces by the talented Sydney based ceramicist Samantha Robinson. Three couples bought me vessels from her collection!  I love them all and as they are handmade each is unique.


The two vases (or illuminators if you place a candle in them) are similar in construction but have very different patterning.  One is Samantha Robinson's signature style, a detailed leaf design in charcoal that will work perfectly with fresh flowers.  The other vase is a limited edition piece that was commissioned by the Historic Houses Trust and is based on a fantastic 1930s French wallpaper design.

I was also given a beautiful tea set.  The teapot is red with dragons and a characterful Indian cow amongst spiral designs and two teacups, one blue the other green to compliment it.

These stunning creations will be ever treasured by me forever.
