Burlap Coffee Sack Apron Tutorial

Just wanted to let you know that I have posted a tutorial on how to make an apron from a coffee sack on my Blue Jacaranda blog. It's the first time I have written a tutorial and I would love it if you would check it out and let me know what you think!

If you are in Brisbane, you might consider coming to the Inspired event at Kylie Farrelly's studio in Teneriffe. It's promising to be a lovely afternoon, with high tea, raffles and great Christmas shopping!

Snug-a-licious!

Last Saturday a big box was delivered on our deck... and in it were three Snugs!

You may remember that I mentioned in March 2011 that I was designing some new animal calligrams that might end up on children's pillows... It's taken a while, but Suzie from Snug-a-licious has created a gorgeous range of baby and children's products, featuring my calligrams. I am very proud to have been involved in this!

Suzie kindly sent each of my boys a Snug - they are lovely soft blankets that fold into a pillow, beautifully made and finished;

The boys love them - thanks Suzie!

Snug-a-licious also has lovely sleepwear and playwear for littlies - sadly, my boys are too big, but I think I know what their new cousin (due in January 2013) will get from the rellies in Oz... (aside from a quilt, of course!) These Hippo PJs are just too cute!
