Helping wildlife injured in the bushfires

Just in case you don't read my other blog, My husband and I have just decided that we will match all the money that is raised from my etsy sales (which was already 50%) so this effectively means that 100% of the listed cost will be donated on your behalf to Wildlife Victoria to help out the injured and displaced animals from the bush fires.

Here a few new items I have uploaded today:


Big chunky resin Bangles

Lovebird wallet

Resin bead bracelet

Necklaces by Michelle Jank

I'm also quite fond of this little guy:His name is Mr Neckless and has three different noses, hairdo's, beards/moustaches and glasses in seven different colours, making every Mr Neckless unique!

colour combos

I am currently working on some new jewellery pieces using two colours. I love the colour combinations used in these two prints by Jan Kruse and Stewart Kolakovic from early griffin.

What's your favourite colour combination?

I need one of these...


This great new rear bike light, called the LightLane, projects the shape of a bike lane onto the road behind you as you ride at night. My husband always rides behind me when we are together, so I think he would find it handy too!

Bike heaven



How pretty is this? It's an Electra Amsterdam with tulips all over it! There is one for sale at my local bike shop - Love!!

I have spent the afternoon playing around with my flickr account. I now have a folder full of band and concert photos that I have taken over the past year or so - If you would like to take a look.

I spy... What I want for christmas


The Dressform, originally uploaded by b r o o k l y n t w e e d.

I'm playing along with Cindy's new Sunday meme!

I really can't think of anything I want for Christmas this year, I am already so blessed with everything I could possibly want or need. The only thing I can think of is a dress form. As an aspiring dress maker, one of these (maybe a newer model then the one pictured above, maybe even an adjustable one?!) would be extremely handy!

If anyone has one that they are looking to sell, I would definitely be interested, you all know how much I love second hand!

Busy weekend... and I'm a bit scared!

This weekend, team hokey will be at the Rose street Markets on Saturday, followed by the Spiegeltent Bizarre Bazaar on Saturday, Followed by the Brown Owl's picnic on Sunday afternoon!
Looks like it will be another one of those late crafty nights for me again!

As my new camera has stopped working, I am struggling to get decent images of new items for the shop, This is the best I have been able to do!

I think it may have been Ms Curlypops who first gave me the idea to try the resin roses as drop earrings, thanks Cam!!

Hope everyone has a lovely weekend, and has a chance enjoy the sunshine!

Afternoon sun

During our lovely shopping day on Friday, I spied Handmade Nation and a 2009 Diary full of Charley Harper's birdy illustrations, but in attempt to save money, I left them both on the shelf. After thinking about both all weekend, Today I threw on a vintage dress, jumped on my bike and peddled as fast as my little legs would go to the bookshop to get my copies.

Now, I'm planning to kick off my shoes, make a cool drink and find a nice spot in the backyard to read and write for the rest of the afternoon. Life is lovely.

I'm still here...


Hello my loves!

Since returning from Tasmania it has taken me a little while to get back to my regular blogging routine. I have been madly catching up with making bits and pieces for shops/markets and have had to significantly reduce my computer time, So if I owe you an email or haven't commented on your blog for a while, I hope you understand, it doesn't mean I haven't been reading though!

I have started to wonder why I really need two blogs, but I am very attached to both and I think they both serve a purpose (how could I ever choose one over the other??!), so they will stay for now. Remember if you don't see me here for a few days, go look for me over here!

There are a few new wallets in my etsy shop too, and more to come soon, they make great xmas gifts! Also, If you don't want to pay by paypal (yucky exchange rate) I am more then happy to accept a direct deposit or money order, just let me know!

Hope you are having a nice sunny Monday!

Hollie xx
