It's in the Bag...

Whenever a market looms ahead, I have a last minute surge of creativeness...today it has come out as these gorgeous little 'grab' bags:

Made from vintage and reclaimed fabrics, they are also lined with and equally lovely fabric on complementing tones...which makes them a reversible option too! It's like 2 bags in 1!

These (and more) will be up on my etsy...if any are left after this weekends market that is :)

DIY for those that don't...

since beginning my blog, i've been checking out more and more sewing, fashion and yes, even crafting blogs!

I'm loving the whole DIY craft scene thats exploded all over the world (and the internet), and found a gem today in futuregirl.

Futuregirl is honest and charming, full of advice for the newly upcoming DIY businesses, and also has great piccies of her own lovely projects...

My fave thing i found today was an article linked from futuregirl, to dude craft, titled 'soul motivation'. It's all about the monetization of DIY crafters, and looking at what your motivation is (money vs soul). Sounds preachy, and maybe it is to those on the other side, but i found it right on the mark, and it made me stop and look at why i do what i do...

Stop chasing the buck and concentrate on making things that feed your soul and improve your skills.

Summer all year!

Living in the world of eternal summer (Torres Strait Islands, Australia) I am strongly influenced by the sunny days, balmy evenings and tropical flowers everywhere!

Here are a couple of pretty dresses and tops perfect for day or night on a tropical island...
