one sydney road




One great blog I've been following is One Sydney Road, and the little lady behind it is Piper. I love how she came up with the name which you can read about here. Piper has just opened her online store of the same name. Another online store to drool over let me assure you!

I don't know what it is but I have an obsessions with cushions - so much so I've been told in no uncertain terms not to buy anymore because all our storage is taken up by them! I love these though - perfect colours for summer.

getting my hobby fill


Hello friends! I hope you had a lovely weekend. I didn't get anywhere with the Bentwood chair but I got really inspired by Amy Moss and her fantastic blog, Eat Drink Chic. Amy has loads of DIY projects (and free downloads) and one that caught my eye were these gingerbread men.

They are adorable and all that's needed is some fabric, cotton, hobby fill, some patient hand sewing (using a blanket stitch) and voila - here it is! It's not as polished as Amy's but it's a start (the head is slightly wonky like someone has taken a bite out of it, oops!). I gave it to my best friend's 19 month old daughter and she seemed to love it! I used chambray fabric and I really love the button! You can buy these individually from Spotlight, along with the fabric.

I also bought polka dot and pink patterned fabric which I can't wait to use next!
