:: stiching :: creating :: sewing ::

Finally my mind is flourishing with ideas and my hands are itching to get creating...I think my creativity has defiantly been awoken with spring...

At the end of August I hand-stitched myself a skirt with lots of buttons, details and stitches here and there...I was really happy with my little experiment – but now I want to keep stitching!

So I’ve located some lovely vintage fabric and fashioned these three delightful coin purses...they have press studs and are lined inside with pretty stripes...



They are all for sale in my madeit.com store.

I’ve been drawing a lot lately too – but I can’t be bothered to scan anything in yet...so you’ll just have to wait!

My laptop is bursting with some great tunes at the moment, there keeping me moving and up way too late...today I’m all about Kings of Leon [I know I’m a little late to discover them...but I’ve seen the error of my ways!]

Anyway – hope your days are shining as much as mine is...

Enjoy.

a party for alice notebooks have arrived!

I’m so excited to be surrounded by boxes of notebooks and finally have my girls on something besides cards! [great to be breaking away a little...]
So I picked three of my favourite designs, ‘Eden’, ‘Tundra’ and ‘Still Ask You...’ They were all really popular designs on the cards, so I’m hoping everyone agrees with me!

Plus amongst it all, I’m a bit of a notebook junkie...I’m always sketching, writing, drawing, jotting down thoughts, poems, to-do lists...notes and scribbles...so there nice and chunky, with hardcover’s, spiral bind and 120 sheets of blank paper...

I had a massive debate as to whether the pages should be blank or lined, personally I love blank uncluttered pages..., but that’s just me. I was speeding down the freeway one day and I had this genius idea totally offering the perfect solution...so the books all include a loose lined sheet. If you prefer to use a lined notebook, simply slip the lined page under the sheet of paper you are using, the lines are very visible through the paper, it’s as if you are writing directly onto the lined page! Well I was proud of that anyway...so hopefully someone will appreciate it!

Notebook measures 14 x 22cm.

So if you would like to snap one up, please visit my store!

alice and the avant card...

some months ago i was thrilled to be accepted by avant cards to participate in their calling all artists program. for those who don't know avant cards are free postcards displayed in a variety of interesting and diverse venues, such as cafes and theatres, that can be accessed by 4 million viewers each week. they primarily provide a creative and visually stunning cutting edge media format for advertisers.

anyway – my design hit the stands on the 27th of august...and will only be on display for 2-4 weeks. i was sent 1000 postcards for myself, but sadly i haven’t had an opportunity to see them displayed anywhere...so if anyone catches a glimpse of them and wants to shoot and send me a happy snap i’d really appreciate it!

as part of the program my design is also currently available as an e-card on their website...(does anyone even send e-cards?!)
