eco stationery sneakpeak

Can’t help myself but share the exciting arrival of our new stationary from Little Design Farm... here’s a sneak peak. We love the texture of our 100% recycled paper, uncoated business card - printed with soy and vegetable inks of course! Hope you will love it too.

fulfilment on so many levels

Happy as a pig in mud I made my way through the past month with renewed vigour and extra vitality. It may have started when Denyse Schmidt's County Fair went on sale.. when was that? Just the late night energy injection every fabric hoarder, seamstress and creative shop owner needed, I have seemed to spring to my feet.

This is indeed a good thing as we have seen a busy few weeks. In the creative hub of the house [sewing room? so limited a title] - a beautiful new machine has taken pride of place.

As my little man and I dance our way through the mornings, waiting for Daddy just doesn't seem to take as long and once we are all together there is a beautiful feeling that all is right with the world.

birthdays chooks and domestic bliss

What a wonderful week! Earlier in the week we welcomed 6 additions to the family. These stunning Buff Sussex hens are settling in to their new home in our yard. Having built their 'dome' coop from scrap and located organic chook feed to supplement their permaculture diet, we felt greatly satisfied to see them finally arrive.

Our beautiful son celebrated his very first birthday, with an intimate gathering including most of the immediate family and closest friends. For a little man he sure seemed to understand that all the fuss was all about him. It was a joyous weekend.

The weather was fine enough that I was able to wear a newly sewn skirt, box-pleated in a favourite and gorgeous Amy Butler print (Lotus Morning Glory, Coral Colourway) with a co-ordinating yoke. I certainly did feel that after baking, sewing and feeding guests, I was enjoying a peaceful domestic bliss.

Blessings to all and may you share birthdays with loved ones, appreciate chooks and value domestic bliss.

XO Pip.
