These seem to come round so fast! But yes, it's Kraftbomb this weekend and I will of course be there with lovely wares for sale. I have more Babe In The Wood necklaces and I'm going to try and make some more brooches by the end of the week — I'm running out of the little guys!
Anyway, come along, it'll be super awesome xx
For those of you that don't know, Extra Curricular is an awesome, local magazine "for creative folk" about people who make and do creative projects. It's independently published by my fellow crafty friend, Ellie Smith (of Miss Ellie May) and she does an excellent job. So when Rachel (of Books By Rachel) contacted Kylie and myself about being involved in an article on 'Craft Living', discussing the Auckland Craft Collective, our respective craft ventures and our thoughts on making a real go of it — I of course jumped at the chance! Especially being part of an article that also interviewed Annette of Nut & Bee and Lisa of Sweetpea Home, that's some serious awesome crafting business right there.
You can order copies of the magazine here or check out the blog for a list of national stockists.
A few years ago, my lovely Nana, Maisie, gave me this gorgeous rose gold locket. She has given me a lot of special things over the years and I think it's because she knows that I truly appreciate them. I've kept it tucked away because it felt a little too special to wear it out, but now I've decided it deserves the occasional outing when something fancy and sentimental is called for.
The little story that is behind the locket is cute too (and gets told to me each time she sees me wearing it, which is sweet too) the photo's inside are of my Nana and Poppa when before they were married, I think that she was about 17 and he was 19 so they would have been taken in the late 1930's or early 1940's. The locket itself was a gift from a young man that my Nana had been "courting" before meeting my Poppa, Gordon. Apparently he was always buying her romantic gifts and keep sakes, but she wasn't interested and as soon as she met my Poppa he was a distant memory.
It's been a while since I have been a vendor at The Devonport Craft Market, so it will be a fun little break to visit the old haunt and see some familiar faces. If you are looking for something to do this Sunday, why not come along...?
See you there
It's official — I now have a flash new website of my very own! I've been wanting to do this for a really, really long time, it wasn't until I was at the Auckland Craft Collective first evening that I got the inspiration to set the wheels in motion...
On my website you will find my gorgeous homepage with my current range, how to contact me, my press and publicity, all about my products with answers to your questions — and the part that I am most excited about: my very own shop!
The shop at the moment is full to the brim and I'm adding to it almost every day. It's all sorted into tidy little categories and looks ever so pretty. So hop on over and feel free to make yourself comfortable and have a good poke around.

I was thinking earlier today that I should really do another blog post, but couldn't for the life of me think of anything to talk about (and those of you that know me, know that if that ever happens it's a very strange phenomenon) and then I was reading through my blog list, and saw my name on the gorgeous Daydream Lily blog! And also thank you to Sarah McLeod of Songbird Designs for sending me a "woo-hoo!" e-mail and telling me too xx
Such an honour to be featured, I really mean that.
