Empty Head.

Oh man, help me I’m drowing. I ain’t got nothing for tonight!

Check out my friend’s etsy shop. How pretty are her floating candles?

Shaking my booties.

Very very pooped, but wanted to show you these sweet booties.

Little man mary janes. (Little Man-ry Janes).

My biggest little man wore these as his best little shoes. In red. Very cute indeed. Especially with little white turn down socks underneath.

These will be available at the next Mathilda’s market in November (Malvern Town Hall 16/11). Or at my etsy store.

New Quilt

Just finished a new Etsy quilt and am pretty happy with the results. I’m also trying to improve my little coin purses and I’m pretty happy with how that’s going. I’ve been needing to something a little crafty as I’m totally sick of the tedium of editing info on the site front. Feels good to get my fingers moving again and the creative juices flowing a little.

Feels so nice to have the blog and Etsy shop updated too. Kind of like a spring clean (in the depths of winter).

Apple pie and sunshine.

Had a crazy afternoom last Tuesday. Had pumpkin home from kinder sick (again- aaaaah! and it’s only the beginning of winter!) and so with no taxi duties to perform in the afternoon (picking up and dropping off small people) had a sudden wash of warm, housewifely, momsy good feeling wash over me and decided to bake!!!

I should have known better- it’s like this rush of hormones, or a schitzophrenic episode where my alter ego, a 1950′s housewife called Enid comes out and destroys my kitchen with two kilos of flour a dozen eggs and a kitchen aid.

I love it when I start, but I always get bored about half way through and then it just becomes a chore… and the cleaning up!!! It took me two days to get all the dishes washed up and the dried up dough scraped off the bench without gouging great chunks out of the wooden top.

However check out my grand creations. Jamie Oliver’s Apple pie- it’s great served hot with greek yoghurt, Nigel Slater’s easy bread recipie (a bit dense, but maybe I didn’t let it prove for long enough) and yummy roasted pumpkin and cauliflower and bacon soup (I didn’t take a photo of that, because yummy as it was, it looked like a vat of vom.)

Also just finished quilting my latest etsy quilt. I think it’s my best one yet, v. happy. Am off now to sew the binding on.

All around, it’s been a reasonable week on the homecrafts front!

My clever Pumpkin

Just wanted to share how clever my pumpkin is. He made this beautiful ring, which he wants to sell in my etsy shop. He sits up next to me sometimes and makes things with paper and ribbon and textas and most importantly, “sticky take”.
