I had an amazing time in NYC during the 'happy holidays' at Christmas. Now that I have settled back in at home I can start sharing some of my winter wonderland adventures. Here is a little instagram snapshot of my travels around NYC.

Finnish brand Marimekkoo launched a new store in Sydney a week ago! I paid a little visit on my lunch break and enjoyed browsing their kaleidoscope of floral print textiles,apparel and homewares. I wanted to take everything home in the store but given that their iconic pieces are quite exxy in price I settled for these napkins in my fave print.

I was also in awe of their store front fabric installations that included bicycles, trees, cars and poles wrapped in their stunning linen collection as well as giant Marimekko pillows!!

These pillows (seen in my below instagram snaps) inspired me to make my own 'paper' pillow version using their napkins.

Now I have my own little piece of Marimekko!

Hello, hello! I've collected together some snaps of the past couple of months of my crafty days, makes, trinkets and purchases. Hope they put a smile to your dial! hehe!

Remember my fairy bread cards? I decided to go from paper to fabric and made this little fairy bread coin purse. It took me a couple of weekends of hand sewing and it was my first time working with a zipper. Once I get quicker at sewing I would love to make these for my shop or even include the pattern in my next zine.

The internet can be a really amazing place. One afternoon while getting a photographic feast on Instagram I met Imogen. After commenting on her amazing Uniqlo mt shirts she offered to buy me some and post them over!! They arrived today and I have been jumping up with joy ever since!! Thanks Imogen!! They also came with limited edition mt tapes and Imogen was also kind enough to give me some of her doubles. This has made my year!

Yay! Its finally here my new zine 'Japan In A Collection' is now available to buy in my online store!
