My gorgeous Mathilde Grace growing up so quickly. I love it when I upload pics onto my computer and find some that the children have taken.

Received a call the other day from Suze at Cocoon all the brooches sold need more!!!! How exciting but I don't get excitied. Don't get me wrong I love that what I make people obviously like but I just don't show the excitement. My husband on the other hand gets very excited and very very proud of me. So here is the new batch of brooches for Cocoon. Not so many of the red as this is vintage fabric cut from a top and now it has all run out but hopefully Suze's customers will love the other brooches.

The day I dropped off Cocoons order I decided to pop into the shop next door as Suze had given her one of my Bebe Petit Sacs. She placed an order for 4 of these, 4 pillowcase dresses and 6 brooches/hairclips. Now that is soooooo cool.

Check out the gorgeous new brooches I am making for Cocoon a designer homeware store based in Launceston. They are made from vintage, recycled and new materials, the buttons are clay and made locally by Trace Willans http://www.soewnearth.blogspot.com/ and are just fabulous.

What have I been up to?

What haven't I been up to, is more the question. Had a great time at the Niche market it was a lot of fun, met some really really lovely and creative stall holders. Loved being out front in the public again and showing people what I do. I had sooooo many great comments and few sales and orders. I had made up a couple of sample grown up pillowcase tops in black with a funky fabric border. Had them on display and they sold which was lovely.

There have been birthdays, my sister Shana who is also very very creative with food had a lovely afternoon tea for 'ladies and gentlemen' combining it with mothers day which was the same day. My Isabella turned 12 on the 4th of May but was on camp. But as I am sure any mum would do, off I went to Camp Banksia in Port Sorrell to see her. I only got to spend an hour with her but it was worth the trip. We had an afternoon tea for her the Sunday before and when she got back Antony cooked her Chilli Con Carne which he does better than me now, and I baked her a cake.

Hazels birthday is today so we are having another afternoon tea, more cupcakes and tomorrow is mine. But I leave my birthday in the hands of my husband I plan everyone elses so I am sure he can cope with organising mine! Inbetween all this I am making more vintage pillowcase dresses and grown up dresses and creating new stuff also. We are also going on a family holiday at the end of the month to the Gold Coast so that is exciting too.

My Mathilde is sick and sleeping which is good that she is sleeping but strange. I am so use to her being up and about. But on the upside I am getting lots done.

I am going to add some pictures in my next pot

Have a beautiful day

Maternity Tops

These are pictures of a friend of mine I reconnected with on Facebook. She now lives in Italy with her lovely family. As soon as she saw TillyBoo she ordered some for herself and her adorable little girl Ava. The pillowcase tops Cassie is wearing are custom made for her. I am now in the process of making some in three sizes sm, med and large and will take orders for maternity ones. Hopefully I will have some at Niche.

Have a beautiful day
