These are my wishlist pics!

Today my daughter is home sick so while she rests Im wandering around playtime paris,bubble and kleine fabriek..see what’s new

i really love  the look of this new label super ego brand..

Sometimes it’s kind of depressing none of these labels ever find their  way to Australia!

Chin up…Maybe one day…

Love this site

I am pretty excited to see that Ann Wood is posting downloadable tutorials of her awesome papier mache boats!

I have been a little obsessed with making her horses of late..

We are considering putting papier mache to print…..never fear we will of course continue papier mache online….

The print issue (more like a mook) would be an extended version of the online magazine, released twice a year and would roughly cost $12-14 AUD and be available to buy online from our shop or from your favourite retailer.

So we have a question for all our valued readers……

Im a ‘kind of in a hurry person’ and always seem to be in a rush in the mornings when I drop my kids of to to school..

But on the mornings I slow down I am reminded of all the creative mums I am surrounded by..

I was talking to a mum Kaye a few weeks ago and she showed me this amazing calender she has made..

“Colour my World”

Basically Kaye’s idea was to create outline drawings for mums to take 5 mins,sit down,relax and colour by using any method they enjoy..

The months are hints of things we all forget to do in our crazy lifes..

Like -

Get wet in the rain

Lie in the grass

Eat fruit from a tree..

Kaye you inspire the “hippie” in me !

I love these handpainted wooden blocks from pola!

Such a clever idea to make a beautiful vintage idea..modern..
