A bunch of things

Here is a bunch of things I have bought or made recently. I also wanted to do some photography practice....

Apple! I put the sparkles on right after I watched Fantastic Mr. Fox.
Man i love that film.



We hung this apple in a branch we attached to the clothes rack on our stall last time, it looked SUPER cute.
yep. I'll get a photo of it in the tree at the next one I promise.






More apples! These are about 20cm high and i love them.
The decreasing in the stitches are much more pronounced when i use the really thick wool,  It's a little disappointing but you understand.. right?




Now for some recent purchases in the world of op-shops.




Johnson ware teapot for always.
I also recently bought a mega coffee pot that matches this but its at my parents house. I'll show you another time.






I am also really loving the Staffordshire Potteries cups such bold and awsome colours. I just did a bit of research on their products and i pretty much adore every one of them. so, perhaps you could send some to me? awesome
thanks.





Head band! huzzuh! super simple and easy to make. And super good for keeping ears warm. super!

To Market!

Last month my sister, my housemate and I all pulled together to create the Apple Cart market stall at the North Melbourne Market! Oh and what a great idea it was!!




We all had so much fun doing working bees and planning all the details in the lead up to the day. Then meeting all the super lovely market people made it a most fantastic experience.


We're hooked! So we're doing another one THIS weekend! Hooray!
So come join us and grab a free cupcake and a zine!

Crafty!

This here is a little brooch I made for my ma the other day! She's pretty splendid!

Letterpress #2

There are a lot of really amazing videos on letterpress out there, it really is such an amazing process. I found this video by Gestalten TV about Studio on fire just extraordinary. The process for him is a little different, he is using flexograph plates instead of hand setting the type in metal like the classic ones. But this is what happens where I work so I find it interesting to go through the whole process on a much smaller scale. Also the designs!! oh the designs!

Dude and Chick








well wasn't that fun? are you all excited about letterpress now? good.

I just ate under the sea spaghetti. i enjoyed it. lobsters!dolphins!octopi!

Oh no!

Now, I reckon everyone has a soft spot for stationary. It's true and even if you deny it I wont believe you. Some people even get obsessed. That's why I actually groaned when I found out about Lovely Stationery, the new blog from the people behind Lovely Package(A place I procrastiblogged WAY too much while I was studying)
Dont get me wrong, I mean... how exciting!!
But i can definitely see myself losing hours. hehehe
