Because I have been writing my book and awaiting its arrival on shelves that I haven’t showed you the things which live in my house and also appear in the book.

So I did a little photo shoot….luckily I have the best daughter and kitty katty in the world, who says ‘never work with children and animals’?

Applique Cushion & Sweet Kitty Calvin

Humbug Party Bag – Ready to be ripped open…

Sweet Suzy Bag – Made with vintage Bugs Bunny fabric sourced at a local thrift store

Ripped fabric basket sits on my bedside table, holding my knick knacks

Felted lavender bear – made from a felted woollen sweater also sourced at a local thrift store. It smells too good and has a permanent spot on my pillow.

Etched bird mirror which also has a spot on my bedroom wall. This was one of my favourite things I designed and made for the book. So much fun!

Flower wall tablet – this lives above my bed…..yeah I loved making this too…

Well I hope you enjoyed a sneak peak around my home and into the book.

Today was very exciting. I walked into a bookstore and saw copies of One Hour Craft on the shelves – the first time this has happened since it is only due out in Australia tomorrow.

Other news – there is going to be a book launch in about three weeks time (will let you in on details in the next few weeks) at my favourite bookstore -The New Edition Bookshop in Fremantle. I can’t wait. Should be a great time to celebrate.

Also, we have a trunk show going around stores. If you know anyone who would like a trunkload of things from the book to make a display let me know..

And I promise that in the next little while, when all the craziness dies down, I will be back with other crafty loveliness. Until then, keep making stuff……
