  • This

    …is what happens when craft bloggers meet. They buy far too much cake. And then eat it all. (That’s actually a lie, we all had to take some home). Aunty Polly couldn’t believe her eyes at all the cakes to choose from. We had fun! Babychops liked playing with Lieveke’s toys. Now she wants a…

  • These

    …are now in the shop. More pairs coming in a few weeks.

  • Little Orchard prize draw winners

    The prize draw has been drawn and the winners are: The $30 gift voucher goes to Leta. A mixed set of 2007 cards each go to Marlene, Amy and Lianne. There was mention of a special bonus prize – it being the most voted item. The most voted item was the Lavender floral water –…

  • Ruby & Sol

    One of the best shops in Auckland – run by a very old friend – if you’re in Auckland you must must must visit. It’s full of amazing stuff and it’s actually affordable – such a rarity these days in shops of this ilk. Sherry buys her pieces from all over the place – some…

  • I want one!

    And so should you (maybe). www.guardian.co.uk 

  • Baby steps

    I am not sure whether or not I have mentioned here that my burning ambition for many years was (and still is) to be a shoe designer. Just now I want to be lots of other things too. Whenever I bump into someone I’ve not seen for years they first thing they will without fail…

  • Kawaii print fabrics from Sweden

    I’ve been quietly collecting some rather lovely pieces of linen from Sweden over the past few months. So this long weekend I sat down and made a few of them into zip purses of many shapes, sizes and colours. I am so in love with these fabrics – and so when Bernadette blogged about this…

  • Some super deliciousness

    Poor old Lovely NZ seems to have been so neglected of late. Secretly though I have been collecting up stories – all just waiting for me to have a day to update the sites. And build a new central home page – ah ah – hopefully Wednesday will be the day. In the meantime I…

  • Baby clothes dans la Shoppe

    Ach well – it’s the end of another week – and time for some more productivity photos. My Bernette sewing machine is on the blink again – so I am now permanently back to my trusty old 1970s Janome which I do so love (now I know how to use it properly). I have made…

  • Note to self

    Must go here.

  • Small things

    Following my dream the other night about running away to the Amazon to stop illegal logging I happened upon a rather relevant article in the Guardian. For Blog action day I just thought I’d let you know my little piece I do for the environment – and it is small but it does add up…

  • Some clothes for Astrid

    I’ve had a pile of Liberty fabrics slowly building up over the past few months. And because I know I’m going to be designing and building web sites solidly for the next few weeks I thought I’d better squeeze in some fun before work hits. And of course ensure Astrid will have some clothes for…
