A long week...

Yeah it's Friday! I never really wish the days away but this week I am glad to see the end of. It's been so busy that I have been exhausted from start to finish. The start of the madness began with a 5am start on Monday trying to get a mountain of paperwork completed. I tried to squeeze in a grocery shop only to come home & discover that my dress was inside out due to a hastily had shower prior to running out the door in order to fit the outing in to my hectic schedule! It has ended with the school run this morning (usually taken by car) being taken on foot due to a flat battery on my car...thank you child #3 for leaving the interior light on! So to the end of this week I say thankyou & to the 6 little girls who are running around, playing & giggling at my house I say thankyou for the lightness, to my dear friends with whom I will meet with this evening I say thankyou but most of all to my darling husband for putting up with my ranting this morning & coming to rescue & calm me I say the biggest THANK YOU.

Tooth Extraction

There is nothing more annoying than a loose tooth...this one took 5 months from first wobble to simply falling out when Big Girl was brushing this morning!




Now she looks the part... a school kid!

Fankie Magazine - spaces

For those of you who haven't familiarised yourself with Frankie magazine & who like a bit of eclectic craftiness & stories, then you must! Showcasing some beautiful & sometimes quite unusual things.
Can't wait to get my hands on their new mooks (mag/book) called Spaces...

1985 Sunwagon Pop Up Van

I am sooooooo excited! This is what we have just purchased & hopefully get to pick up on the weekend.

We're hoping this year to get away more than once like last years effort at 'family time' so hopefully we'll be playing cards in the annex in a couple of weeks somewhere not too far travelled but still experiencing that 'get away' feeling & having some quality family fun together. Do you have any suggestions as to where we could go...

Book Launch

I had the amazing oportunity to be a part of handmade living. A beautiful publication that features all things handmade. So, as I could not attend the market held by handmade canberra I decided to have my own little book launch at home.


Loads of wonderful customers & also some of my very dearest friends came along. I feel so fortunate to have these wonderful women in my life & thank every day the times & experiences we share together. They have not only supported me but also advised me on the path that I have taken with Three Potato Four & all my handmade goods. Thank you!

A beautiful Festive Season & hello to all for 2011

It still seems quite strange to write 2011 as the date, I always think of the program that was on the 80's (I think) called "Beyond 2000" & how they looked at the future. We still are not driving around in flying cars yet!


We have had the most delightful Christmas & New Year. Many friends to share it with & also some special time spent with our wonderful family. We had a week on the Farm at Poppy & Nanna Kerryns which was super relaxing even though we always try to fit too much into such a short time, the things we did manage to fit in were worth it.



I'm looking forward to a creative 2011 & hope that you'll enjoy the journey with me.

French Market Baskets

My very good friend is a Phoenix Card Consultant & as Part of the Butterfly Tea Party Fundraiser for the McGrath Foundation she asked me to donate a prize for the event. As my sewing machine has been getting fixed I had to think outside the square & decided to create a lining for my French Market Baskets which I have been wanting to do for sometime....here's the gorgeous (I think) result!
