I got right into origami whilst in Japan.
I'd sit each night at the window, overlooking Tokyo, patiently folding......until I mastered the paper crane.
I don't know I am ready to conquer this Origami Burger yet, but I would love to give it a try one day!
Minifashionista is having a great sale. Up to 60% off!
These bla bla knitted rattles, for example, are down from $8-ish to $6-ish.
Free shipping on orders over $130 too, if you are buying in bulk!
Hand-knitting has made a comeback!
This Bla Bla Panda beanie is so cute, and unique - I think this is the first 'Panda" I have seen featured in kids clothing!
Available from Baby's Got Style.
Oh - did I mention the matching booties?????
I am about to try to make my own bugaboo liner, however, if it doesn't work out, there's always pramskins to fall back on. They are very clever, made from gorgeous cotton prints and are reversible. There's even a specific "Phil & Ted's" compatible liner.
Pramskins are made by a "one Mum band", fellow Australian. I would purchase one right now, but I need to see what I can create on my own first....if it doesn't work out, I can always purchase from the site...
Thanks swissmiss for finding this great Fingerpaint recipe!! Australian Women's Weekly comes through again.
Holly loves fingerpainting at child care, so maybe we can introduce this at home too?
I just heard about mini-whisk - they make all sorts of cooking accessories for kids! Aprons, cookie cutter sets, even kid's gift hampers.
Check them out!
Jan 16, Footprints on the Beach is having a Havianas painting day. Buy some thongs and then add your own flair......
Good fun if you are already planning to be at the beach! (Mooloolaba)
Holly in her new Dora dress. She loves the pink fabric. Keeps looking at it intently......a true girl at heart. Mummy has done well.
(And this time my model was awake, but only just.....)
Another My Jnr creation. Should get plenty of wear over the silly season. I plan to create a few more very soon.......
(My model is asleep - otherwise she would have featured in this post. A true supermodel - doesn't get out of bed for low-paying jobs!)
Felt and crochet toys are all the rage right now. Minifashionista are currently selling this funky felt mini sushi set by Lily Bean. Too cool!
These cute wooden decals would a bit of eastern flavour to the nursery.
They can be purchased from Ten In The Bed. What a cool name for a shop??
My second creation, this little worm. 100% handmade. I like him a lot.
I am having so much fun being crafty, I started a new project right away.
My name is Katie Mackenzie. I have a gorgeous baby girl, and a husband who shares my appreciation for design. We hope to bring Holly up in a place that is full of fun, style and function. We have no room for clutter. And we are limited to products that are available to Australians. This blog summarises our efforts.
