Oh so lovely was the day!

Oh so lovely was the day that we all tootled into the Daylesford Town Hall for the Christmas Makers Market! Bumbling, chatting, mingling and laughing whilst sipping on cups of tea. Kate and Kelly from the Dear Prudence stall were at my side and showered me with picnic goodies such as home made biccis and cheese. I admired the nimble co-ordination of the Derby Girls on my other side. Steph did a simply fabulous job of ensuring that all ran smoothly on the day. Thanks gorgeous girl!

I received some fabulous feedback and encouragement and wanted to thank everyone who visited and supported the Bluebell stall. This afternoon, I shared a wine in the sun with some lovely friends and I just felt so grateful for their unconditional support.

I'm sorry to all that follow this blog- that I haven't posted for so very long! Have I ruined my blogutation? Perhaps I can redeem myself.... with more regular posting from here on in.

I'm collaborating with a local writer (I'm tickling my nose with excitement! For those of you who know me well will know of this crazy excitable gesture...) to create a children's picture book- so I really do have reasons to post.... so stay posted... for my post. Tickly tickly.

'Birthday' was the most popular print of the day :)

During the week I shared coffee with a lovely group of people. One of which will be stocking a few Bluebell goodies in her new shop of eclectic wonderfulness, which I'm feeling rather excited about. Thanks Dear Prudence and to the people reading this, check out the blog and in a few weeks we'll all be able to browse the Dear Prudence shop itself. Oh, excitement!

So, well you know- it's time for some new thingamies.....

Poppies for Grace inspired letter sets

Letter sets with hand made packaging

I'm planning to create some brown hand sewn paper packaging for these- in the process of- will keep you posted. (for those interested of course..)

Inspiration: Poppies for Grace

Poppies for Grace- Alana, Sarah and Kate- are a real inspiration for me at the moment. They're designs are simple, sweet, unique and they certainly put a smile on my face. They offer letter sets, gift cards, invitations and more. Have a closer look at their web site:www.poppiesforgrace.com/

Miss you a bit, Life Drawing

I really do miss you a bit, Life Drawing....

Drawing nudes is just the best- the female form particularly is so beautiful to draw. Curved, soft and delicate.

Thought I'd share some:

You’re sure to find lovely things and plenty of inspiration here, so take a day trip to Daylesford on Saturday 28th November and lap up the crafty goodness and creative treasures......

See you there! ;)
