I have just been scrolling through my blog and can't find any pics of the Star Cards!! 

Cockatoo Graphics & I were so proud & eager to get of our
first print run up on madeit.com.au/SimmoneStar
& into market stalls 

that I may have overlooked posting them here on my little blog. 

Here on my little blog, which is alway the last place I post. 

Facebook & Instagram are my daily go to creative resource/inspiration style look books. 

I saturate my followers with daily doses of photos of my makes, oppy scores & goods for sale.

First post of 2014, a little slow at getting back into blogging my handmade happiness. It does't mean I haven't stopped making, just been busying spending time with my kids & family over the school holidays.

Crochet has wormed its way into my hands & heart. It's such a relaxing craft, and can be done while watching a movie. I'm attempting to crochet a square every week for 52 weeks, then stitch it all together to create a delicious warm blanket. I am ahead of schedule with the squares as some days i'm making a few and other days none.Watch this space to see how it evolves. 

I've also taught myself to crochet flower garlands, so sweet & pretty. The first garland is travelling to my family in NZ.

Trio of clouds

Wool felt balls have so a great texture & are easy and fun to work with. I made a few garlands then got on a roll making beautiful rainbow cloud mobiles. These would be just darling in a newborns bedroom, cosy bedroom or wall decor anywhere you please. I have one in my living room.
