Just noticed that Melissa's shorts made it onto a KidstyleFile Blog for Handmade Heaven for Boys.

Sure it's 2 days old but none the less someone thought our stuff was groovy enough to blog about.

Yeah!

The iGranny and Coffee.....

Of late I been experimenting with and old knitted rug I got which I have pulled apart and now reworking into other things. The colours are sometime garish and sometimes mismatched but I am loving it and finding it hard to use up in case I waste any of. In conjunction with my growing obsession with the good old Granny Square I have come up with the "iGranny".

It a comfy case for your iphone or ipod touch. The phone fits snuggly in and keeps it safe. I've also found after using mine the bright colours make it easy to find in the depths of my handbag.

At our last market someone I had made some tea cosies and someone asked about coffee cosies and how hard they are to find. Not being a coffee drinker myself I thought that it sounded like a great idea I would look at in the New Year. A couple of weeks ago I got a craft book catalogue and what do you know, there was a great looking book about Coffee Cozies. Yipee!! and ordered one post haste.

So today I have finished my first Coffee Cosy and well it's a first. Will hope to get better with practise. It wasn't too hard and already have ideas with some granny squares (yes I am obsessed) I made some time ago but never did anything with.

So here is the flower cosy:

Made it to Madeit!

Well we've started a little shop on Madeit as we realise we need to start getting ourselves out there a little bit more and 2010 is the year to do it.

Currently the items are similar to our Etsy store but in simple Australian dollars.

Please check it out.

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year!

2010 started with a wimper as I didn't quite make it to midnight but we've reopened our Etsy Store with some new products and some old faves.

I've been working on some new ideas and here's a preview of my prototype that will eventually become the "iGranny". (thanks to my hubby for the name)


Melissa and Marie are both about to kickstart with some new ideas as we gear up for the next BrisStyle Indie Designers Market in March.

We are planning on getting the blog up and running and more regular this year so stay tuned for more regular news from us.
