Striped hand warmers
I would knit these. I love them, even though its 35 degrees outside. Courtesy of Purl Bee. A most gorgeous crafty site. I think knitting these might just end up my winter goal.

Merry Christmas and a Happy 2010.
Wishing all of my family, friends and lovely customers and blog readers a very Merry Christmas, and a safe and happy holiday. I really look forward to new and exciting things in 2010. I am very excited about taking Holly Becker’s (of Decor 8 blog fame) ‘Blogging your Way’ course in the New Year. I am also excited about Paperklip ‘primary’ – a very sweet range I am working on for next year and I am mostly excited about 5 days away in a CARAVAN with The Viking and the little vikings. See you soon. xxoo.
PS – SALE starts Monday January 4th, 2010 with 20% off storewide.
The last one for 2009. A pretty name for a new baby.
Bohemian brief.
The brief was Bohemian for this lovely name. ‘Ruby’ will be heading off tommorow with a whole lot of other lovely names for Kate from Tea Princess. The nice thing is I get to hand deliver them as their office is not too far from here. And I might even sneak a peek at their super lovely things for girls. I feel a Christmas dress purchase for my girls coming on…..
Gingerbread House.
On the weekend we had a little party for our friends who are moving back to New Zealand. In the afternoon Miss D, Miss H and Master L helped decorate this little house and then they demolished it with our friend’s little boy. They had such a fab time. Good luck Kelly, Tanya, Dayne and Marley – we will miss you.
Magnolia Square.
Paperklip stall Magnolia Square Nov 2009
Hello. Are you are getting ready for Christmas? My daughter said to me today – Mummy – I can’t believe that we are already up to no. 7 (on the advent calendar). I almost can’t believe it either when I think of all the things I want to do – put a little more in the Etsy shop, hang my heart shaped card holder up, write my cards (I actually love to do this – weird I know). I am even going to attempt a pudding this year for Christmas lunch dessert. I can say that the tree is up, the lights are switched on outside and I’ve almost ticked everyone off of the list. And that feels good.
I have a few photos to share with you sent over to me by Naomi from Scissors, Paper, Cake. Naomi was a fellow stallholder at the recent Magnolia Square in Sydney. Naomi has possibly the most lovely portfolio of cakes and cookies for parties (and other special occasions) that I have come across. Together with Natalie from Imprintables (who does very lovely stationery – my weakness) the girls have everything you may need to create the perfect party. Delightful and delicious and thank you Naomi!
I heart Julia Rothman.
Now you know I love paper. I also love illustration – with neat little lines and tiny details (a hark back to my stint as a draftswoman no doubt). Julia Rothman is a most talented illustrator, textile artist and general mutli-talented super woman of craft. She has combined my two favourites in this lovely illustration borrowed from design*sponge. I hanker after everything that she does. Is that stalking? Delightful.
Table numbers
I’ve been so busy. Lots of custom work (like the little set of blue table numbers and extra long heart garland for a New Year’s Eve wedding!) and finishing up market orders. If you happened to order something from Paperklip’s stand at Magnolia Square – it will be in the post this week. Thanks so much for your patience. To my Etsy shop – I miss you and I promise to re-fill you very soon 
Custom work
We Heart Book sign
I love what I do – especially when custom jobs come along for lovely people. This is a sign for the girls from We Heart Books for their up and coming stalls at Magnolia Square in Malvern and Brighton in Melbourne this week. Pop along to see them, they have the best selection of unique and hand-picked childrens books you will come across. They also have a lovely selection available on line (just click the link). We heart books in our family so much, hope that you do too.
