thankyou!

thankyou so much levin for introducing me to mixtape magazine, i love it so much, its green and crafty and what more could i possibly want in a 'zine'! also, one of the first things i found in one of them was an add for made it, which is like etsy but in australia!!!!! a while back i set up a shop on etsy but with the converting to american dollars and overseas postage it was all to intimidating so sadly i gave up. i looked for something similar in australia but couldnt find anything. now that ive found it im setting up a store to sell little bits and pieces made of natural materials, i plan to make hemp tea towels with binding made of funky quilting fabric, natural toys, things knitted with natural fibers (i have bamboo, cotton and soy to try out) and who knows what else

today i was making some little birds for my tree and i decided to make a few for the shop asweal. but that would mean parting with them and their so darn cute! i think perhaps id better whip up a few more:)

  1. isn't it a great magazine. i have the current issue here, but i can highly recommend subscribing - cause it keeps the magazine alive! there's a kids issue coming up soon too. Oh and I also got a copy of Sew Hip Magazine which is fabulous too - but as it comes from England, it's rather pricy!!! Perhaps we should go halves in it??? Or have a magazine library???

  2. I love the lil birds you made they are gorgeous and look great in your tree. Did i tell you i put up my xmas tree? ill put a photo on facebook so you can see it its vert cute. i smashed one of the decos yesterday tho :( i was re-arranging them to make them look better and accidentally dropped one (which happened to be made of glass) luckily mia ignored it, she would not have been happy getting glass in her paws! Im going present shopping today so i have presents to go under my tree, wish me luck, i hope i find something great for everyone!
