im feeling very popular since the bute news of being a part of MORPHE ll my blog has shifted from 3 comments for the last two months to lots...thanks its very lovely.

well since the news about morphe its been head down and bum up. ive been cutting stitching and cutting some more. its exciting and i travel well under pressure....love a dead line.

we are also about to move house, we are packing up the children and the chickens and are moving closer to the city. the house is huge and dirt cheap which also means we will be busy plastering and painting before we move in. i must say it all feels a little overwhelming but im going to meet the challenge.

here is a photo of a rag doll i made for a childrens boutique in melbourne, mill and mia. the dolls socks are made with the stores fabric.

here are some of toys that i have made in the last year.

Making toys has been a direct reflection of my world. The rabbit came from a drawing for Marta's, my eldest child's first birthday invitation. And the oat bags came from our huge stack of empty bags from a long winter of porridge for breakfast.

As we fill our days with picking up and packing away we also find ourselves in a world of cutting, pasting and pasting all those bits and pieces that never quite made it to the recycling. Its all about keeping it simple. Its about making mobiles from toilet rolls, crocodiles from egg cartons and elephants from oat bags.
