Botanical Gardens

Met up with Anna from MangoLime after school yesterday at the Botanical Gardens AMAZING playground.  So long since I’ve been there, but it’s one of my favourite places in Darwin.   There is a bunch of pictures here, that I took a year or so ago. After we snacked and the kids ran off to play, [...]

So much for being organised~

Remember my genius new way of keeping custom orders in check? So much for that. Somehow my inbox is flooded with customs, and only 3 actually written up on cards & pegged to the board. Hmmm… Book keeping? All it takes is a little time each week, but I’m MONTHS behind. Again :(

The most beautiful and eloquent words…

that I have ever received for one of my products. This is from the beautiful Michelle (Bohemianism – the divine jewellery I keep raving about!) ♥ I was moved to tears by what she said!! “There is nothing to be underestimated about the glorious feeling of acquiring an original design that you know nobody else [...]

Skirts for Bec’s Lil

  This is the pocket for one of them. I think it looks nice against the white broderie (which the pocket is lined with), but well…white and kids isn’t really practical, is it? I’d really like some tea-stained white linen, or maybe a nice chocolate linen, and put on a simple dress, or pair of pants. [...]

Custom order for lovely Liz

Working on a custom flared top & pant set, like what is listed, but in Size 4 and not exactly the same. The project has sat aside until I figured out what fabric to use. Spent close to an hour fluffing around with fabric this morning. Was meant to be finding a third fabric to [...]
