Pick Your Plum

It seems like forever since I have written anything here... there are things in the works, I assure you. But I can't show you quite yet. I will share them soon though. While you are twiddling your thumbs waiting for that to happen, here is something to entertain your selves with.

Mique over at 30 Days is giving away some great Pick your Plum products (this company has some amazing stuff - I totally love the DIY cake stand!)

Gorgeous, yes?

Run on over and check it out!

On My Feet...?

I've been thinking about getting some new shoes for spring/summer lately, and with that is the thought of carrying a small baby around while wearing them. I have heels, but the thought of toppling over and dropping him isn't appealing at all. And then I saw these...

I love everything about them... except maybe the elephant poop. And the height. They are very in your face. But I just love to look at them! They are so colourful.

Would you wear something this colourful if you were given it? 

Would you buy it for yourself?

Tell me your thoughts - I really would like to know. There is quite a bit of controversy on this one at the site it was published on. I have in my stash some craft paper made from elephant poop... but it does look quite a bit, erm, less 'earthy'!

Hope your day is full of sunshine!

String Basket

You may not believe this, but after finishing the piece from last week that I was working on, I decided I didn't like the way it stitched together along the seams, so I pulled it all undone and had a good think about it.
After having two days of an unsettled, uncomfortable baby, I finally got back to it and I love how it came together!

It started with a Red Heart Eco-Living pattern book that my SIL gave me last year. But after looking at the pattern I decided (as I often do) to do my own thing. And I believe I like it a whole lot better. I used the same string that I used for my String Jar-Vase and a size I hook.

This little project is designed to hold face washers and other goodies that you might want in your guest bathroom (or hey, why not your own even) and is on it's way to my Mum's for her birthday.

Take a moment and indulge your creative side - you might even fee better for it.
