LOVING :: Donna Wilson

13 September 2012

Donna Wilson's range of fun and quirky creations has recently expanded to include more fabulous creatures, accessories and homewares. I love that Donna designs things that are simple and childlike but not childish. You can see the entire range and download the catalogue on her website.

LOVING :: Hansel From Basel

11 September 2012

My love of polka dots continues with these lovely bags from Hansel from Basel. Super cute tights too!


They're not only covetable, but affordable as well. Get them from Mr Kilty in Australia, and direct from Hansel from Basel in the US.

More than 50% off online sale :: the red thread art

As I mentioned in a previous post I have come to a point where I want to focus my energy and creativity on my sewing patterns and kits and fabric design. As a result I have given the red thread website a mini facelift and removed all my art. Here's the good news... I'm selling it all for at least 50% off in a once only online garage sale.

I announced the sale to my mailing list yesterday and as everything is a one off or limited edition some things have sold already. So if you've been coveting my Sushi Bird Tiles take a look - the remaining few are reduced by more than 60%. There are also HeartBoxes and Vintage Storybook Tiles. If you know a little girl called Belle, Mia or Ella you're in luck - there are HeartBoxes available with their names on them (I made them as samples to photograph). They make a gorgeous gift - especially at half price.


Take a look at the red garage sale now.

I'll be updating the garage sale shop in the next few weeks with some craft books, my Gocco printer and stamper, Gocco inks and screens, and other crafty goodness. I'll blog about it when I do.

If you want to be kept in the loop with other sales and happenings at the red thread please  sign up to my email mailing list and you'll be amongst the first to know.

Snow Happy

05 September 2012

Roxy and I headed south at the end of last week for a short break in the Snowy Mountains. Roxy had never seen the snow before and she was sooo excited. There had been some good snowfall the previous few days and the weather was perfect with clear blue skies and very little wind. We had a fantastic time, staying in Jindabyne, and day tripping to Thredbo and Perisher with some friends.



On our way south the skies looked dramatic and ominous, but at the ski fields it was perfect. As we drove north yesterday afternoon we peeled off our layers. Today in Sydney it's going to be 24 degrees celsius warmer than it was in Perisher yesterday!


We were only away for 5 days, but we had so much fun and it felt like a good break. Back to reality...
