Love at First Sight

If I lived in New York Purl Soho would be my official second home. Perhaps my first home? With all mail redirected to the Purl Soho shop. I think what really needs to happen is open my own shop with all sorts of nice crafty things in Sydney. I wonder if anyone would be as interested in this as me?

Fortunately for the time being they have an excellent website and blog that has lovely projects like this little-person's play-mat. My thoughts are that this should not be restricted to children alone - A tad unfair... 

The project can be found here and the fabric (which I'm considering whether to put into my shopping trolley) can be found here (the dot fabric I can't seem to locate on their site... anyone found it?). Enjoy!

Pyjama Bag

This Christmas I made my family pyjama bags... this one was my prototype and I ended up simplifying the pattern so I could make them in the Christmas rush! I filled them with little goodies (primarily lovely Aesop balms).

I might pop up a tutorial in the coming week month (!) so you can make your own!

PS. The lovely yellow fabric is from Denyse Schmidt's Country Fair range... mustard was a big colour for me this year! I bought my fabric at My Place in Bowral when visiting my mum. You can order fabrics from their site too...
