Postie delivery: Living happily ever after


The irony that my third guest postie delivery is actually a post about Living Happily Ever After does not escape me. I'm really not very good at this whoring business, am I?

I wrote a while ago about why I thought marriage was a very good idea and today I'm over at My Shoebox Life talking about how to keep that very good idea a... er, very good idea.

Thanks for having me, Shell.

The flitter flutter of little butterflies.....

Now that Spring has sprung, I am surrounded by inspiration and - frankly - the washing basket is overflowing, the sink is full of dirty dishes, and I am on a sewing rampage! The poor kids -- at worst I could be considered a neglectful and at best certainly a distracted  mother... Elliott has taken to playing with the spices out of the pantry for want of my getting down on the floor to rough-and-tumble with him, but I know he'll forgive me. Being busy makes me happy, and at least I've relaxed my normally nazi-esque housekeeping standards and the kids can run feral just the way they like it?!

Last week, there were little butterflies flitter fluttering all over every surface... I've gone mad about the butterflies, folks. Can't seem to help myself. Today I thought I'd share some of what I've been working on in my shop: they're singlets for Summer. In all colours of the rainbow: soft pink, yellow, green and white cotton singlets with 2 dimensional fluttering butterflies made from a variety of colours and patterned fabrics and felt that actually wave in the breeze! They have little cotton tendrils and each have a little vintage button feature. Szes are from 000-3 (3 in white only) And -- at $15 a pop they're an idea for your xmas gift list? Just a thought.  :)

Grab one from my Madeit store or on Etsy.


I'd love your feedback as always... and otherwise, have a happy week, folks!!

This week on Flickr Faves Sunday, I bring you some pretty interiors with these inspiring photos. I love the white walls with colour added thru accessories like the pretty stack of books, vintage floral cushions and picture frames.

Have a sweet day!
