Happy Mother's Day

- Mother's Day Card -

I am about to celebrate my very FIRST Mother's Day this weekend!! I did celebrate a little last year whilst pregnant. Well technically I was still carrying, feeding and looking after a baby, and my partner thought I was deserving of a little bit of pampering (too right) :D
This year my beautiful baby girl (with help from Daddy) bought me a beautiful 'Queen Elizabeth' rose bush and Mother's Day is not even till tomorrow - spoilt me!
Here is a card I did for one of the Mum's in my Mothers Group. I hope all you Mum's out there have a wonderful and special day!

Screen printing workshop

- 'Babushka' screen and test print -

Good afternoon all. How was everyones weekend? I went along to a screen printing workshop with some fellow creative people - Bee from Little Beehive, her artist friend Jac and her creative little bro Benny. 

Kick and Screen is a cool, little studio in the backstreets of North Fitzroy. The lovely Eleanor taught us how to make screens and showed us the whole printing process. We even got our hands dirty too - Eleanor letting us use all of her equipment to make and print our own stuff! It was such a great day whether you want to learn how to make your own products or just for a bit of fun. I hope to make more screens and maybe do some cushions and tea towels!

Learning is fun, so much fun in fact that I have already enrolled myself in yoga classes and also a sewing course (for the tea towels and cushions). 

Jazzy Matryoshka Print

This afternoon I played around with fabric swatches on the computer and jazzed up a set of Matryoshka dollies! A nice change to standard pink and purple for girls I think :D

Babushka Doll Pattern

Hello there... Hope you all had a lovely weekend. We had a lovely hot weekend here in Melbourne - not that I made the most of it. I ventured to the shops and went a little retail crazy, there's so much fabulous stuff out there for Chrissy this year. I didn't even get to finish all the shops because I couldn't carry anymore!
Anyway, here is a pattern I did the other day. It's based on the Babushka print from a few posts back. Hope you like! xo

New Illustration

I have started on a couple of illustrations for the baby's room. If I like them enough they may even go into my Etsy shop. Here is my Babushka Dolls illo - they are a trend that just doesn't seem to go away but I don't mind because I enjoy drawing them. I love not having to draw hands!

My Neglected Etsy

The last 12 months have been pretty busy and my Etsy shop has been sadly neglected.  I have been in "vacation mode" for the last year and unfortunately not due to some long, exotic holiday.  I do hope to get right back into it and I have a few projects in the pipeline. But for now I will leave you with a few of the illustrations that were sold in my shop.
