Experimenting with stop animation

This was our first foray in to stop animation. I keep thinking it would be great to play with a Fat Mumma's version... this is the begining!

This also shows that having children does have it's fun days!!! :)

When you just do what you feel like...

With juggling house, kids, husband, freelance web work, gym and Fat Mumma's I don't often find time to sit and doodle. Yesterday I gave myself permission to just do what I felt like doing instead and sticking to the routine that drags me down! This is what I came up with, and even though it wasn't productive for the other parts of my life, it made me feel good!!! :)

Babies with attitude

After being rejected by another Malvern market today, I was feeling low about our direction. Are we just too god damn funky???? Then I received this beautiful photo from one of our customers and thought... 'Whoa there with your negative thought processes... this little girls looks so good, how can we not feel happy to be dressing some funky young things!!!!'.

Comments welcome, just to lift me from my malaise!

Bird Screen

Have finally moved away from using stencils and am embracing the screen! Not that I haven't always loved it, but it's hard to do with the kids around. As soon as I get the paint out they want to be involved. Sound idyllic I know, but in reality, it's just messy!!!

Australian Baby Guide

The Australian Baby Guide is out and we are again listed in it! It's used to be called the 'Nappy Bag Book'. I think it's a good idea to rename it!

Inspired by Georgia Chapman

I had a moment of inspiration yesterday after reading an article in the age about textile designer and VIXEN proprietor Georgia Chapman. I had been thinking about artwork to put above the piano in the dining room, and suddenly it came to me! So, I got out a pencil, sketched out this beautiful flower in my sketch book and then redrew it on the wall. Add some black acrylic paint and a very steady hand (amazingly) and I ended up with this:

I'm enjoying looking at it and am now thinking about what other things I can transpose it on to!

Love and Peace

Metallic Blue Cat print on pants.

Have finally managed to finish these pants that have been sitting around waiting for me to change my overlocker thread to black. Sometimes, you just keep telling yourself, I'll just finish this white thread job, before I change over... and then it finally happens! They look pretty cute and I think I might try making some to sell at the market - especially now I've changed the overlocker thread. May as well make the most of it! If anyone is interested in some, let me know.

I have also made bibs and cut-out more blackbird dresses today, so I'm feeling productive. However, I am also feeling sick from all the chocolate I've eaten. I think I'm going to fall in to a depressed heap any second. The gym was loving me last week... but this week I just want to become a couch potato, and Lindt chocolate rabbits aren't helping!

Happy Easter everyone, whether you be a believer or not. As one of my atheist friends stated yesterday, 'How can you fail to follow anything that involves a giant invisible bunny delivery chocolate eggs!'. Profound! Thanks for that one Rob, it did make me laugh!
