How was your weekend? I've had a busy but fun weekend. Mexican food and telly with a mate on friday night during which I dozed off! Saturday was spent at a workshop on balcony gardening followed by a
Transition Towns event in Montmorency where we screened No Impact Man on behalf of
Green Renters. A great event where we met loads of inspiring people all intent on making a difference in their local community. Great stuff.
This morning we were kindly fed an amazing breakfast of toasted turkish bread and seasoned fried mushrooms and lots of tea, just lovely!
On the way home I popped in Savers for some goodies:
Old vintage hankies out of their individual boxes. I'm a keen user of handkerchiefs and I plan on decorating these with my gocco machine.
Amazing hand embroidered tablecloth. May make this into a quilt cover.
Adorable teapot! I love yellow things.
Cute paisley skirt!
I also embroidered this cute owl gloves! I've also made squirrel embroidered ones, I'll post a picture tomorrow. What do you think? If they take your fancy, you can buy a pair at my
shop.
PS-Have you entered to win a copy of the Big Book of Recycled Crafts? If not, pop on over

I'm not entirely sure what the purpose of this is, but it could make a great cat bed DIY style
Just told Chris we're getting some more bunnies!
Loving these glasses. I'm always breaking our glasses!
Button bobby pins are cute and easy to make. They make great gifts
Cute idea to add cosiness to open plan living
Love the wall hanging and the hankies!
This is another room from their house that I love
How good does this recipe of Mushrooms Bourguinon look? Yummy! If you're in a cooking mood, I recently also made pear crumble and bean loaf!

So many gorgeous teapots!
My thoughts are with all the people affected by the Queensland/NSW floods. I will be doing a fundraiser at Polka Dot Rabbit shop next week with all proceeds going to victim relief, just need some time to make up some new stock. My th0ughts are with all those affected.
I know it's nearly summer when I see watermelon at the markets...
This brooch has the most amazing embroidery detail. Just stunning.
I really like these teapots. Imagine a Vegemite one!
I like political posters and this is a great environmental message. It's part of the collection of posters in the book Green Patriot Posters
Loving these tights and of course the teapot!
Quite liking this DIY tutorial to pretty up a canvas bag...
Loving this poster exhibition by EveryGuyed Framework, a series of posters highlighting the most iconic men’s eyewear of the last 100 years.
I really like this artwork by Andrew Archer and the use of black as a canvas rather than the typical white...
Stunning hand drawn teapot!
Cute little handbag...
With Frida Kahlo lining!
People often lament the lack of crafty things for men. I think this Boo Davis quilt bucks the trend nicely.
Skinny La Minx can do no wrong! I think I'd frame this tea towel, it would look wonderful hung in a kitchen.
How cute! Of course, my love of bunnies is well known :)
I'm actually allergic to beer so I can't drink it at all, but I'd love to get a poster like this for my home brewing husband!
Cutest embroidery ever!
