Made it Artisan Feature!


I have been selling the hair clips I make on an Australian handmade website or a few months now and the more I lurk around and check out whats on offer the more I realise how special handmade items and gifts are. Made it showcases so many talented people and the amazing things they make. Each item has been lovingly crafted and when you receive your package in the mail - it always comes presented with care and thought. As one of my aims of this blog is to get more people on to the buy handmade banwagon I have decided to showcase some of the special people I meet through places like madeit and etsy and the very pretty things they make. First up is Melinda at Here we go Loopy Lou who has managed to combine two of my loves- fabric and greeting cards. I couldn't resist her special greeting cards especialy as the russian doll fabric is one of my favourites (You might have seen it as a lulufroufrou hair snap) and I ordered them yesterday arvo and were already in the mailbox today. So if you love unique greeting cards or just want to get something special for someone check out her shop on made it now.

~ Six Weeks ~

Indiana is now 6 weeks old and everyone keeps telling me how much she looks like her big sisters - while I know she is definitely similar, to me she looks a little different so I headed for the photo albums to do some comparing!

Here are some photos of each of my little munchkins in the bath at 6 weeks of age.  

Big sister Sienna first with her lovely chubby cheeks!

Next is the very cheeky Sofia

And finally Miss Indiana

I think she is more like Sienna but yes definitely one of mine!!

The above photos are from Katya De Grunwald, an English photographer whose work has appeared in, amongst others, World of Interiors, Elle Decoration, Martha Stewart Living, and House & Garden. She takes the most beautiful photographs from interiors to fashion to the everyday.

I love the so pretty vintage looking pics that are subtly full of shine and texture. I especially love the quirkiness in the first photo.

Enjoy!
