Blogerama- sharing the love!

I've been getting lots of publicity for my work recently and featured in the February issue of Australian House & Garden magazine, and now in the March issue of Notebook magazine, alongside some very inspirational women like the talented & glamorous owner of Melbourne store & blog Meet Me At Mike's, Pip Lincoln.

A friend also pointed out to me that I've been seen on some global blogs too:
Gypsy Village & Brabourn Farm, which is very glam!

Two of my Teacosy* Revolution Tea Cosies have also found new homes with friends in Tasmania: the very talented jeweller Anita Dineen has become the proud owner of Teacosy* Number 9, and origami whizzes Sam & Maya of Hideyo Designs have chosen Tea Time Teacosy*, which is great!

So this is just an update to let you know what's been happening lately!
And to finish this post I'd like to show you a really great packaging design on my favourite TICK TOCK brand Rooibos Tea (Aspalathus Linearis).

Think I'll put the kettle on.......

Bienvenue chez 2010!!

A slow & calm start to the year, which is very uncharacteristic of me and matches my slower pace of life now I'm pregnant. I'm learning to embrace the transformation process and not feel guilty that I don't want to work 28 hours straight on an embroidery anymore!!

A couple of exciting things have happened to start the year off and they are:

A five page feature on my work, my home and me in Australian House & Garden magazine (February issue out now), from page 54,

AND

A couple of my Summer collection cushions are featured on page 46 in Vogue Living Jan/Feb 2010, in an image of the wonderful Monique Germon's POP-UP CO-OP store project with Sarah King & Tamara Maynes, in Bowral, New South Wales. My 'Tea For Life' cosy is in the second image.

On the tea cosy front I have several half-finished cosies which greet me every morning and are just asking to be finished....so I'm working away at some retail orders and once they're done and mailed off I can 'treat' myself to some tea cosy stitching!
Can't wait!! I do wish there were more hours in each day and that I could afford to employ people to sew for me as well...this WILL happen, maybe next year if I don't lose my mind being a mother ;-)(Do I sound slightly apprehensive?!)
