My summer range for little girls features cool and comfortable pinafores made from gorgeous high quality, designer quilting cottons. I've just added six different designs to my Children's clothing page, but some are only available in specific sizes. Here's my favourite:
I passed the exam
If you've just tuned in, there was no exam. Just late night preparations for The Square - Bendigo's Handmade Market yesterday. And it was worth it. We do love that market; the venue, the organisers, the other stallholders, the crowd, the sales, the marketing. It was another great day. I've just added a cool new … Continue reading I passed the exam
Last minute ‘cramming’
The Kasey Chambers CD has finished and the next one starts automatically. I listen to Paul Kelly do a brilliant live version of To Her Door and wonder if the guy in the silver top taxi cab ever did make a picture and get them all to fit. I wish I could play the harmonica like … Continue reading Last minute ‘cramming’
I’m still here

I love it when happy … Continue reading Enjoying the small things

In the primary school sports, I got to sit behind the kid holding the board with a huge ‘1’ painted on it, along with a few others who had missed with every ball in … Continue reading There’s this thing called a pressure-sensitive pad
New products in store
I've just added the following things to our shop:
Be nice
We’re taught from an early age to be nice. Nice and polite and kind. I explain to Elsie and Maeve why something they said was nice, and why something they did wasn’t. As we walk out of the supermarket, I tell Elsie that she was really nice to answer the questions that our friend asked … Continue reading Be nice
Happy birthday, Elsie
Another thing I like about sheep is how a ewe protects her lamb from a potential threat (like a sheepdog or approaching two-year-old); she stares at it and stamps one of her front legs. This weekend Elsie climbed into bed and lay quietly between us while we dozed. Then she whispered, ‘Do you think anyone … Continue reading Happy birthday, Elsie
