My creative space

I'm knitting again!
Now the weather is cooler (was it ever hot this summer?) I feel inspired to get the needles out and make some mitts.
I can't remember where I got the jazzy red sparkly wool from but thought I'd give a go as contrast with the blue. Something a bit fun!
















If you would like to look at other creative spaces or join in pop on over here.

A sale!

Happy August!

To celebrate I'm reducing the price of all my ready-made mitts to a measly $12!

They are hand-knitted by me in pure new wool and are perfect for playing on the computer, shopping or going to outdoor markets in the cooler weather (which we have at the moment).
For those of you in the northern hemisphere - think ahead and get ready for winter or be organised with some early Christmas shopping!

To see the other colours pop over here.

Please note any custom orders will be full price ie $25.

um, bit late! What can I say?

sorry!

Here are a few things I covet from my favorites.

I do have a 'thing' about fingerless mitts, armwarmers, wrist warmers - call them what you will.
There are many things to love about these particular ones by BlueKimonoStudio.

1. the bright colours
2. stripes make me smile
3. reusing, recycling
4. the look warm
5. they look soft
6. it's a great product photo.

A market friend of mine Brooke from Trove is sadly closing down her shop and has reduced prices.
I'm so tempted by these earrings, sooooooooooooo tempted.
She also had lovely pendants and necklaces. Have a look before they all go!

Lastly I spotted this new seller and am in lurve!

petitbirdsings has the cutest artwork and I couldnt decide, but this selection of four mini works is irrresistable.
Which one would you choose?

It's a beautiful autumn morning, a little crispy in the air butthere are blue skies and there is freshness all around.
What a lovely start to the week!

Of course in other parts of the world it is spring and this treasury is a clelbration of that tome of year.



Many thinks to sublimedragonfly for including BoosTees lilac and lemon mitts.
