A week in colour .....

Hi ho,
Despite the kids going back to school and attempting to settle back into our usual routine
I have surprisingly been
rather creative this week

(always a good sign)

Firstly I have to share the Faux fur coat I picked up at a local op shop


(by the way - thats my serious butterfly gazing look!)
Anyway, apparently this brand is rather sought after
and it's made of 40% acrylic, 40% modacrylic and 10% cotton!
But what would I know?  - I'm just looking for a bargain (right?)
and I think it was at a mere $15.

Anyway as the week progressed I managed to knock up a few cushion covers using my scraps and some of the lovely fabric samples our dear Carole over at


sent me for the Jubilee Swap.


My lounge is already a rather colourful mish-mash (or was that messy?)
But you can never have enough colour right???

I've also been working on a few little numbers for another lovely lass


almost there on this one!

I've started a wee production line of hip hugging
A line skirts for future markets
(again using up what fabrics I could find in my archives)


and I received a parcel of joy from a certain Arty-Zombie who sent me these gorgeous fabrics
on the right hand side!

Me thinks a few more frock creations are in the pipeline!!


I am also shamelessly plugging these Woolworth brand fleecy lined
footless tights!
My best coffee chatting, craft inspiring girlfriend
(you know who you are)
recommended these a wee while back and they have been the best $7.99
I've spent in a long time!
Sorry to all you international non Woolworth's supermarket going colourful stocking wearing girls
they only come in BLACK.
But hey, who's complaining if they have kept my luscious legs warm all winter!

and finally just incase you arent yet over-stimulated by all my happenings
I HAD to show you a few photos I spied on
(I won't bite if you LIKE me!!!)

(now that sure is my kinda Glamping!!!)

then I found this


compliments of

and I couldn't resist sharing it!

Ain't it fab!!!

Anyway lovely's I better go get me some beauty sleep!
Who knows what tomorrow will bring

  6. I love all those cushions - our apartment is rather a bore, seen as it was already furnished when we moved in. I've been feeling for a while I should make some cushions...perhaps I can make some with all the "Leftover" fabric pieces, there are a LOT of them.

    Have a great weekend xoxo

I wear the fleece lined tights (same same but with feet) and I couldn't agree more - they are toasty warm and delicious - I just wish they came in COLOURS! Happy weekend gorgeous!
