MELBOURNEmade  magazine   Issue 1, 'Autumn' is due for release today - 24th February

As quoted by MELBOURNEmade :

"We are a creative bunch. We like to read, tell stories, sew, paint, draw, photograph, learn and explore. And we like to do it together. That’s why MELBOURNEmade was born. It’s about all the things we love to do, the people who do them best, inspiration for us to do them better and how to read, find and contribute creatively.

It’s for those of us who want to learn more about what makes Melbourne tick. You will find out what inspires the people about town, who the people behind the products are, learn more about the quirks of this fabulous city and find out what you can do and where you can go to soak it all up. You won’t find gossip or scandal (but trust me, it will still be fun!). You will find a community of people as passionate about being creative and being in Melbourne as you."

My vintage Flag Bunting made the front page of Made It website Yesterday! 'Blue & Green Gift Ideas'.

OMG, I just went to the Made It website yesterday morning and saw all the Blue & lovely Green handmade creations, I thought, 'Beautiful', Love those colours together!
But, I did not see my bunting, silly me.
I was too busy looking at the other lovely handmade creations & simply admiring the 'sea' of blue & green on front page.
It was only when I saw the Made It FB page that I saw my bunting, a wonderful surprise.
Thank You 'Made It'!

Valentines Etsy Treasuries and Red Bunting love!

My husband surprised me on Tuesday night, Valentines Day with a beautiful bunch of flowers & dinner at the local Thai restaurant, it was quite a surprise as we have not gone out to dinner for Valentine's since we had our two girls, he even organised my mother to babysit while we had dinner.
I was so pleased that he was so thoughtful!

Just thought I'd show some Etsy treasuries that I created that are 'love' related and a Red & White Bunting that is Valentine inspired.

My Divine, Valentine!

THIS ITEM: Australian WildFlowers Tea Towel Apron
100% Linen Vintage Tea Towel, New Cotton panels & Vintage Cotton straps etc.

I love to use vintage cotton fabric where I can, it adds to the individuality of the apron and makes this one of a kind (OOAK) apron rather special.
I enjoy making these, they are very time consuming to make but I love the challenge of combining of tea towel styles, with interesting patterns & colours of my cotton fabrics.

I love to upcycle and give a new life to something that had an intended previous use.
Some of my tea towels are brand new but many are retro vintage - that is 20-40 years old! They are in excellent condition as they have never been used for their original purpose.
I try to source my tea towels from all around the world, Australia, United Kingdom & the USA, to just name a few
