Well no, can't say that it is!<br />
<br />
But I do *love* having my little, furry friend, obvioulsy so happy in his basket, keep me company whilst I create a little 'sewn-up' piece of self-expression, a little outfit for a client or create something with special meaning for someone.<br />
<br />
<br />
I appreciate the love and joy this little 'person' brings to the home...(I know some of you just aren't cat people ;/)<br />
<br />
Do you have a little mascot that joins you?<br />
<br />
Hope you are having a good day<br />

Bellies and Stripes has a really lovely and funky range of mamma's and childrens wares. If you tire of the 'frumpy' maternity wear thats around, and would like some gorgeous wares that really show of the female figure through all it stages, then you will probably *love* Rosie's exclusive collection. Rosie is committed to supporting sustainable fashion and buys from local designers. </div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />

His talent as a photographer speaks for itself and Lillipilli Lane has been the happy recipient of some of Luke's fashion work already, with more planned. <br />

</div>I have had a lot of fun just recently being selected with several other online handmade boutique owners, to bring this weeks "Seller's Picks" to the Madeit site . These are seller's current favourite items found on the Australian online handmade market open 24/7, <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/">http://www.madeit.com.au/</a> <br />
<br />
You can view them here <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/picks.asp">http://www.madeit.com.au/picks.asp</a><br />

<br />
There are so many great items on Madeit, and whilst we have 'picked' our current fave's we have by no means discovered all the wonderful items hiding on Madeit...pop by and see what fave's you can find!<br />

</div>This is a one of our certified organic fabric girl's dresses, in our Eco Organic range, don't you just *love* the fabric! No chemicals have been used in the production or manufacture of the fabric, so a good choice for your health and the environment!<br />
<br />
We have adjusted this stock dress for one of our valued clients, for a child that is taller then 'average' height.<br />
<br />
The picture shows us adding a red complimentary border to increase the length of the dress! <br />
<br />
Do you find it hard to get clothes to 'fit' your little ones, who may be smaller, taller etc than the 'average'. Email us to chat about what we can do to help get the right fit for your needs : )<br />

Do you ever get an overwhelming desire to create...something you just need to express...welling up from within?<br />
<br />
The trigger can come from the most unexpected places, like the beautiful dancer above....<br />
<br />
I was so moved by the image I just had to create and express my own interpretation, through clothing of course!<br />

<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bk2OSkL5W28/TbUteO92D7I/AAAAAAAAAtc/RCzmSODs-V8/s1600/ken+done+fabric.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" i8="true" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-bk2OSkL5W28/TbUteO92D7I/AAAAAAAAAtc/RCzmSODs-V8/s400/ken+done+fabric.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Do you remember <a href="http://www.blogger.com/www.kendone.com" target="_blank">Ken Done</a>, the Aussie art icon? Well, I have had this wonderful piece of upcycled Ken Done fabric for some time, and I have recently finished piecing together this fabulous, fun, skirt.<br />
<br />
Overlock the waistband on, switch to3 threads, 1 needle and make a creative hem...<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO_VGhM0nzA/TbUtWQKbyuI/AAAAAAAAAtY/lNX43g7pue4/s1600/overlocking+ken+done+skirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yO_VGhM0nzA/TbUtWQKbyuI/AAAAAAAAAtY/lNX43g7pue4/s320/overlocking+ken+done+skirt.jpg" width="240" /></a></div></a></div><br />
<div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;">Voila one cute skirt! Doesn't this Ken Done fabric come up a treat.</div><div class="separator" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jUy9CiHsbzQ/TbUtjz5ptbI/AAAAAAAAAtg/-QHYhaI5daI/s1600/ken+done+skirt.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" i8="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-jUy9CiHsbzQ/TbUtjz5ptbI/AAAAAAAAAtg/-QHYhaI5daI/s320/ken+done+skirt.jpg" width="240" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">What a unique collector's item and an interesting way to collect art. I would think it rare to come across a piece of this fabric again. It, to me, seems to have stood the test of time (my guess is 80's vintage - which just happens to be back in vogue) and has a fun quirky-ily groovy style. Isn' that part of the fun of upcycling!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Oooh, do I sell it or keep it? <br />
It is said "if you were around to wear the fashion the first time, you probably shouldn't wear it the second time"...however I think there may be an exception, if it has been re-fashioned to a suitable style, one may be able to get away with it. What do you think?<br />

I really enjoyed making this little beauty. I was itching to try my hand at making one of these and don't you just love the net (ok its a kinda love hate thing really) after searching I found a great little tute over at <a href="http://froogal.blogspot.com/2008/01/louis-vuitton-knock-off-fabric-bead.html" target="_blank">Froo*Gal</a> and <a href="http://twirlingbetty.wordpress.com/2010/02/03/fabric-covered-beads-a-tutorial/" target="_blank">Twirling Betty</a>. Both just great.<br />
<br />
I made a few adjustments that I will share, and put in my own tute sometime soon(ish)<br />
<br />
I can feel more are on the way!<br />

<br />
Those familiar with the Lillipilli Lane handmade women's skirts will know I recommend they may also be teamed with leggings and boots in winter, as do others.<br />
<br />
After doing some research for this article, I came across a great article of a lady who has done just that, but with a summer dress. Called "My Paper Doll: Winterizing The Summer Dress" the article by <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/m/693458/189272286/a/0/aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5teXN0eWxlcGlsbC5jb20lMkYyMDExJTJGMDMlMkZwYWlzbGV5LWxhY2UlMkY" target="_blank">'My Style Pill'</a> (a NY stylist) explains so well how to 'winter-ise' a summer dress. (If this link doesn't take you to that article do a search in her blog for paper doll - it's an enjoyable read and her look is so much more chic !)</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">So here's my tips on how to adapt that summer <strong>skirt for winter-</strong><br />
<br />
<strong>1. Start with a Summer Skirt</strong> <br />
Use any summer skirt already in your wardrobe. <br />
I have used this fave of mine just for example ( its a <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/detail.asp?id=222227" target="_blank">handmade clothing at Lillipilli Lane</a> skirt) Got to love your own creations : )<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GIuS2MW2dGo/TX1vpmH0DjI/AAAAAAAAAsk/cDjC94V8yU0/s1600/Cho+Cho+San+skirt+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="272" q6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-GIuS2MW2dGo/TX1vpmH0DjI/AAAAAAAAAsk/cDjC94V8yU0/s320/Cho+Cho+San+skirt+2.jpg" width="320" /></a></div></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><strong>2. Add a long-sleeved T or skivvy</strong><br />
Choose black for winter. I love this tight fitting, flattering <a href="http://www.myshopping.com.au/PT--310_Clothing_Tops_T_Shirts_Long_Sleeve__fs_16098_16105_e" target="_blank">skivvy</a> OR choose a long sleeve T if your climate doesn't get too cold. You may also coordinate with same colours in your skirt, such as the green or red.<br />
. </div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n54lRAbPb3M/TXwbfFu8IYI/AAAAAAAAAsI/iPGBmcDsRHY/s1600/emerge+long+sleeve+skivvy.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-n54lRAbPb3M/TXwbfFu8IYI/AAAAAAAAAsI/iPGBmcDsRHY/s320/emerge+long+sleeve+skivvy.jpg" width="257" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><strong>3. Now Accessorise!</strong> <br />
Add one of this season's beautiful scarves and there are sooo many gorgeous ones to choose from. Doesn't everyone need at least dozen! I have chosen a bright red to coordinate with the red pattern in the skirt. <br />
This is one of my favourites, yes it's a <a href="http://www.madeit.com.au/detail.asp?id=223486" target="_blank">handmade clothing at Lillipilli Lane</a> scarf.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bcAMWI0WtDE/TXwdHWEuuWI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/80RbPb5zglw/s1600/red+scarf+entire.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" q6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-bcAMWI0WtDE/TXwdHWEuuWI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/80RbPb5zglw/s320/red+scarf+entire.jpg" width="216" /></a></div><div dir="ltr" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;" trbidi="on">You could also choose a green.</div><div class="separator" dir="ltr" style="clear: both; text-align: center;" trbidi="on"><a href="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jx3nnJmD1qw/TXwcaWvyeKI/AAAAAAAAAsM/xSqggzxr97o/s1600/green+women%2527s+scarf.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" q6="true" src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-jx3nnJmD1qw/TXwcaWvyeKI/AAAAAAAAAsM/xSqggzxr97o/s320/green+women%2527s+scarf.jpg" width="320" /></a></div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
<strong>4. Add a jacket</strong><br />
I have used an old fave, a well-worn navy cord jacket. <br />
<br />
<strong>5. Add long black boots</strong></div><div dir="ltr" style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none; text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Personally I love these <a href="http://www.drmartens.com/ProductDetail.asp?PID=10492002" target="_blank">Dr Martens mid length boots.</a> For a more feminine, chic look pop over to <a href="http://www.bloglovin.com/m/693458/189272286/a/0/aHR0cCUzQSUyRiUyRnd3dy5teXN0eWxlcGlsbC5jb20lMkYyMDExJTJGMDMlMkZwYWlzbGV5LWxhY2UlMkY" target="_blank">My Style Pill</a> .<br />

<div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />
<br />
<strong>5. Now to finish </strong><br />
To give your look that something special and add your own individual style add a pair of <a href="http://www.shopstyle.com/page/BrowseStylebooks?cat=11&fts=black+oversized+sunglasses" target="_blank">over-sized black sunnies</a>. For tips on how to choose the right pair of sunnies pop over <a href="http://www.blacksunglasses.org/women%E2%80%99s-designer-black-sunglasses" target="_blank">here</a>.<br />

<br />
<strong>6. Voila...</strong> What I like about this is you are adpating pieces you already have in your wardrobe.<br />
You may need to buy an accessory or two but you are building on some main pieces you likely already have.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ucRyXEWi_tI/TX1Yh0bi9HI/AAAAAAAAAsg/BcD3rGUA7dI/s1600/summer+skirts+in+winter.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="400" q6="true" src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-ucRyXEWi_tI/TX1Yh0bi9HI/AAAAAAAAAsg/BcD3rGUA7dI/s400/summer+skirts+in+winter.jpg" width="242" /></a></div><br />
</div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">Lets see how you have adapted your summer skirt! Give it a go and pop back and leave a post, would love to see. Have fun and let your creativity fly.<br />
<br />
<em>The only problem you may occassioanlly have, depending on the fabric, is the skirt may be a bit clingy over tights, stockings. Has anyone overcome this?</em></div><div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on"> <br />

I just *love* a road trip...An early am start and off we go, on a 2200km round trip across two states. Seeing some wonderful sights, travelling through our magnificant country, chatting with folks we meet along the way and finally reaching our destination, our loved ones to visit. From our little country abode to thebig smoke! <br />
See you when we return. Happiness to you all. <br />

Yes, the sewing machine is coming!<br />

My creative space has seen me playing with some gorgeous neutrals and lovely textures to create some new autumn girl's dresses. I have been playing with lots of different 'sleeves'- puffed sleeves, Juliette sleeves, sleeves with cuffs and without, to come up with some complementary sleeves for my winter dresses... <br />
Just love the 'warmth' of this little dress...What do you think? In store soon...<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VDKafy_cXT4/TVxeziJbCpI/AAAAAAAAArs/bnIJzG43aPw/s1600/turquoise+triangle+breathe+2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" j6="true" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-VDKafy_cXT4/TVxeziJbCpI/AAAAAAAAArs/bnIJzG43aPw/s320/turquoise+triangle+breathe+2.jpg" width="261" /></a></div><br />
I have also been happy to be following through on my desire to paint - colours shapes and words I just have to get them down on paper or canvas! A kind of colour / art therapy, self directed :) Just loving turquoise and pink at present...<br />

I have had the joy of making up these lovely new scarves...Playing with stretch knit techniques....<br />
<br />
I wore one of my favourites out yesterday evening, weather was cool but not cool enough for a cardigan, so draped the scarf around my neck and 'voila', just enough to take the chill off :)<br />

Being a Qld'er it has been full of some pretty scarey weather activity. Sooo glad all that water has moved of this island continent of ours...The sun is shining and the days are glorious once again. My heart goes out to all those affected and indirectly afftected by the flood events. Wishing you all the best.<br />
<br />
After a couple of months holidays from Lillipilli Lane it nice to revisit and touch base with you once again. Where will this year take LL...More womens clothes, more painting and creativity...<br />
<br />
My darling girl now at school! Gee I do miss her and yet also sooo proud of her. What does a mum/mom do with all this 'time/space' on her hands....any one else sending your littlies to school for the first time and now finding yourself at home with all this 'quietness'... So the world turns and things continue to grow.. to move... and to change...No doubt a year of many changes...<br />
<br />
Wishing you a great year, lots of success and creativity to do what your heart pleases : )<br />

I love the very funky, mod retro organic cotton, fabric in the top two. Such a fun and beautiful fabric to work with! It is made to international standards without the use of chemicals. These little dresses are great for Christmas as well as regular summer wear. <br />
<br />
The full circle skirt is made from a fun pink broderie anglaise, 100% cotton. Twirl!<br />
<br />
The bottom little shoestring dresses are fun and modern fabrics in 100% cotton, giving a nice crisp feel and good to wear in summer in warmer climates.<br />
<br />
That's my little show and tell for this week, hope you enjoyed viewing! They have provided me with joy to make and the recipients to wear! (These little goodies were custom made).<br />

</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Today my show and tell for Junk Love continues in the theme of vintage aprons and today's is a super-cute red and white cotton gingham, don't you just *love* that ric rac!<br />
I just love these aprons and they hold fond memeories from my childhood. My mum wearing them as she baked home-cooked country style meals in a wood fired stove, with us kids warming our little hands by the warmth of the open door. When I got to an age when I was allowed to 'help' in the kitchen, I also popped one of these big grown up aprons on - albeit it was quite long!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />
</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">Today I still enjoy wearing my own little collection of aprons, and so does my littly, its part of 'dressing up' for kicthen play:) What's your story to share today? Love to read about it.</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"></div><br />

I have been working on some very funky retro pieces of late! Just loving the fabric selection available at the moment, its such quality and such diversity:)<br />
