cute & colourful...

These cute felt & fabric creations are the work of my Mum & sister Kathryn, to sell on their 'Hollipotamus' stall at the markets we attend (the name is inspired by our favourite cutie-pie). Their range of toys, brooches, clips & assorted other creations is ever expanding & I think all the things they are making are utterly adorable (possibly slightly biased, but I mean, just look at them!).

So anyway, just felt like having a some light-heartedness & colour on the blog (these little creatures make me smile). Also rather pleased with how the photos turned out, so kind of showing off a little, lol.

*working on having a proper web presence for Hollipotamus, but for now you can contact them via the shop facebook page.

fabulous fabric...

I received my package from the lovely ladies at Voodoo Rabbit today. I spent the voucher I won (plus some extra) on some of their Gingham Invaded & Babushka Dolls fabric & it's even more awesome in person :)


They also sent me a cute brooch, covered in the gingham invaded fabric.

I haven't decided what to do with the fabric yet....I'll keep you posted though :)

who's a lucky girl then?

....that would be me :)

Last week I got a lovely surprise when Karen from MooBeeTees contacted me to say that I had won the give-away on her blog.  My prize?...a $20 voucher from Voodoo Rabbit (& also here).
Cloud & Ky sell gorgeous fabrics & supplies, including fabric they have designed themselves:

& as if that weren't awesome enough, today I was contacted by the lovely Natalia from Realisation Creations, telling me that I have won her April give-away - a $40 voucher to spend in her store!

Natalia makes gorgeous, luxurious jewellery & accessories & I am going to have a hard time choosing what to get.
