Bend The Rules Sewing by Amy Karol

I couldn't help but get excited to find the time to finally sit down and read Amy Karols book "bend the rules sewing" last night. The photography is just adorable not to mention the lovely projects that I am saving for a rainy day if I can wait that long. There just isn't enough hours in the day. For the first time in ages I was able to lay in bed and read a book without it encouraging me off to lala land. My congrats to Amy on a wonderful book.

Archie's Pantry Party!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I couldn't help but laugh amidst my frustration of course when I caught my little boy Archie electively decluttering my pantry. Of course this event took place whilst I was grabbing a quick shower before having to duck off to an evening outing. It appears that as Archie becomes more and more adept with his capabilities the more destruction and clutter I seem to see in my house especially in the shoe cupboard and pantry as illustrated here.. What else can you do but relish these little moments of innoncence I guess..

Its Off To Rap We Go

With a number of orders heading out the door this week, it was great to see Friday arrive.

Rap Products are considered the gift and home-ware specialists of Melbourne and offer an extensive range of contemporary interior products combined with a selction of personal accessories. With two inner city locations in Little Collins Street and Bourke Street, their focus on style and design is commendable as is their flare for merchandising. Check them out - you won't be disappointed...............................

Thankyou Grandma

I stumbled across a couple of sewing books which were originally my late grandmothers yesterday morning. When I look at the little girl on the front of this book my mind is flooded by so many fond memories of grandma creating something awesome out of nothing not to mention the number of times that I stood on a table having the hem of a new dress measured. Thank you grandma. I hope that one day I will have a daughter who will appreciate all things handmade and be just as excited about these books as I am.

Site Foreman

Allow me to introduce our site foreman - "Switzer" my brown chocolate labrador. As you can see she is flat strap with helping us get our orders fiiled for tee shirts.

Tees 2 Knees Labels

A fresh batch of screen printed labels ready to be placed on the

backs of tees any day now.

I can see clearly now!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thank goodness. After being so busy over the past couple of weeks with life in general and working I was so glad to have finally found the time to reorganise my office and make it more functional and pleasant rather than just shutting the door on it all the time. I was so relieved to have finished my little spring clean and declutter that I decided to take a photo to remind myself of how important it is to keep it this way not to mention the fact that it does make finding things a hell of a lot easier. In saying that however I am not so sure nor can I guarantee that I won't be writing another declutter post in the next couple of months considering that xmas is approaching relatively quickly and that generally means even more chaos than normal. So the point is - this room probably aint going to be staying like this for much longer.
