Clothkits Dolls
Does anyone know if there is anywhere in Australia that supplies Clothkits? This is a UK based company that has been around for years selling kits to make all sorts of lovely things. I know that they do post internationally but I just wondered whether there was an Australian supplier. I am desperate to make one of these gorgeous dolls and there are some beautiful clothes as well, for big people and little ones!
While you are here, you might like to leave a comment on this post! You could win my teeny tiny crochet heart bunting being drawn tomorrow night (Wednesday)!

A wee giveaway.... just because.
Are you feeling the love yet? Getting ready for Valentines Day? We tend to not make too much fuss in this house about it. Which really means, I'd like there to be a fuss but the chances are slim and really there is no point getting my knickers in a twist about it year after year cause I knew all about his anti-acknowledgement of various occasions before I got in too deep!
I have been busy faking the love though in this house, getting the smalls to draw lovehearts, colouring them in and cutting them out just to give to people they love - most have been coming my way I'm pleased to report! I'd like to share it around a bit and have decided to give this sweet little crochet heart garland away. I made it from this free tutorial over here if you want to have a go at some yourself. It's not perfect, but seriously, love never is. All you need to do to win is leave me a little comment telling me who/what you love and why. Easy peasy lemon squeezy. The winner will be chosen at random on Wednesday this week to give me a chance to pop it in the post so it gets to you by Valentine's Day on Monday. And I'm sorry to all of my international readers (there aren't any I'm sure since I only have about 3 people who follow me!) but this is only open to Australian residents.
Just to extend the crochet love a little further, I have been obsessed with making these:
Crochet granny triangle bunting! I found this wonderful tutorial over here. I am joining in with Meet Me at Mikes: Make this Monday for this. You should pop on over to Pip's and see all the lovely things that other people are making.
Just for fun I'm also linking in with FatMumSlim's point and shoot because this is all I managed to take photos of this weekend. With my iphone mind you because it appears my actual camera has gone walkabout, so apologies for the very bad photos!

The sweetest night light ever!
Oh my gosh. Isn't she just lovely? I found her in Typo this morning and paid dearly to bring her home with me. I'm fairly certain I will get in trouble. But she was definately worth it.

This week I'm grateful for... back to school photos & new runners!
I've been feeling all warm and aglow this week as a I stroll through people's blogs, admiring their little people and their big people all freshly decked out in school uniforms. There is something so sweet about that first day back at school with new uniforms, new shoes, a huge bag that they can barely carry. It makes me think of my own first days at school where my mum would have us all lined up on the front porch for our yearly shot.
I have my big person in Grade 1 this year, loving it already after his first day back today. A lovely new teacher, new classroom and already making new friends. My middle one is in 4 year old kinder this year and has been counting down the seconds this week till he got to go. He was soooo dissappointed when he realised it was only orientation which went for an hour. And my baby girl is hanging out on her own at occasional care this year which is only 3 hours one morning a week.
So our first day of the school year photo...
Oh, and I really am grateful for new runners this week too! Even though I paid a ridiculous amount for them, a very spunky young man fondled my feet to ensure the correct fitting and size. He even put my socks on for me (do you know how difficult it actually is to put socks on another adult??!!).

My creative space...
This is the first time I have joined in 'my creative space...' over at Kootoyoo! Yay. Hope I'm playing properly.
As a newbie to crochet, I have been trying out lots of new little things that I have found on the internet and with Valentines Day approaching, I couldn't resist trying this sweet teeny tiny heart bunting! I only made a couple to join together just to see what they'd look like but I think a big long strand of them would look so lovely.
I've got them hanging just above where my laptop sits so every time I look up I'm feeling a little love fest!
Want to make some of your own? I found the free tutorial over here.
