Things I like today

I love these little ceramic planters! Just waiting for some succulents.

I love bulb flowers! Spring is coming!



Loving these big bunnies! I'd love one for my garden! These giant rabbits are the creation of the Cracking Art Group. The installation seen here in Portofino, Italy is made by recycling old plastic water bottles collected from landfills.

Such a lovely little embroidery

Things I like today

People often lament the lack of crafty things for men. I think this Boo Davis quilt bucks the trend nicely.
Skinny La Minx can do no wrong! I think I'd frame this tea towel, it would look wonderful hung in a kitchen.

How cute! Of course, my love of bunnies is well known :)

I'm actually allergic to beer so I can't drink it at all, but I'd love to get a poster like this for my home brewing husband!

News and bits and pieces...

Did you know I'm curating a craft show at my house from Melbourne Fringe Festival? It starts in about three weeks, very exciting! We're still designing a flyer but more coming soon including pics. Some ace women are in it, including Rayna Fahey, Camille Condon, Clem Bastow and Anna Boyd Dunlop. I hope you'll all come visit us and view all the amazing exhibits!

My website Polka Dot Rabbit is being redesigned and includes a vintage section. It still needs a bit of tweaking so bear with us, but it's ready for a spot of shopping if you like! At any rate, feedback is always appreciated.

I'm working on a bout of healthy eating and less drinking to try and lose some of my thyroid weight. Nothing too exciting and I hired a cross trainer. If you have any tips or favourite healthy recipes, I'd love to hear them.

Have you seen the Frankie Blankie? I was honoured to embroider the Beci Ophin illustration! You can place a bid and have it sitting proudly on your bed! Just email quilt@frankie.com.au with your highest bid. Bidding closes on October 19 and the final winning bid will be donated to The Salvation Army.

Beautifully built books by Jennifer Khoshbin from here.

I've always been a sucker for tin toys, and this one is particularly lovely.

A song lyric by The Smiths, part of an installation for the craft exhibition Home is Where the Craft Is I'm curating for Fringe Festival!

Things I like today

My efforts at healthy eating means that vegetables are my friends. I found this awesome array of tattoos over here



With recent events here in Australia I feel quite compelled to watch Election. It's one of my favourite movies....
These cute coat hangers are from Rice. I think it would be great to make your own as a gift to someone moving house.


This poster is very much the story of my life
