A journey...

Cappuccino's ready...
to help give me motivation to pack, sort and get everything ready - my secret to a good road trip, be organised else the car turns into chaos! Not great for a long road trip:)

Comfy travelling outfit is sorted...

(can you see my first attempt at a fabric neck-lace - I think I am hooked!)

Luggage is packed...

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! 
See you when we return.  Happiness to you all. 


Yes, the sewing machine is coming!

My Creative Space Today, a new season

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...
Just love the 'warmth' of this little dress...What do you think?  In store soon...

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...


What is in your creative space today?
Would love to see!

Lovely scarves

I have had the joy of making up these lovely new scarves...Playing with stretch knit techniques....

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 :)

What have you been  creating in this last month of summer (southern hemisphere!)

These pretties are available through Lillipilli Lane handmade clothing store.

So here we are, with a bang in 2011.

Gee what a start to the year!  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.

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...

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...

Wishing you a great year,  lots of success and creativity to do what your heart pleases : )

My Creative Space Today, pink!

My creative space recently has seen me produce some fun little girl's clothes!  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.

The full circle skirt is made from a fun pink broderie anglaise, 100% cotton.  Twirl!

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.

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).

Junk Love Wednesday, vintage aprons

Hello everyone,

missed last week's junk love post, a few family details to deal with!

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!
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!

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.

If you like re-using, upcycling, recycling, 2nd hand 'junk' ...Pop over to Emmaroseart to join the 'Junk List' and share your 'Junk' story, every Wednesday
