in the media & other interviews

Greetings all,
That cool thing which happened to me at work on Monday . . . an interview for the Canberra Times!!  Lovely Andrea met with me to discuss my world of handmade homewares & spin on design, key products, inspiration & tips on improving life.  Totally cool!!  Clever Rowan took some shots, eekk, i dressed up just in case of profile shots (yes) but i directed him towards my products in Shop Handmade as a much better photo opportunity!!
 Picked up a copy of Shop 4 Kids magazine, which featured some products of mine.
 Very cool feature on Shop Handmade, very proud of the beautiful place i get to play shops in.  The leather key ring is from a new designer Pookie from OhmMade, it hangs on my daughter's school computer bag.  They also featuerd Maiike - she's got a cool blog too.
 Handmade prettiest for girls, my birdie bunting bottom left.
 Shop 4 Kids asked if i could whip up a patchwork boy's vintage style pram blanket, so i put together my favourite blues & greens lined with pale blue jersey, hand stitched the edges, da dah bottom right!!  Also on this page, Allana C Giraffe (go Jodie), Oopah Monster (yay Abby) & cute buttons by Lou Lou who has since closed down her sweet button business.  Tonnes of these designers are at Shop Handmade so i get to play with their handmade goodness for real!!
 I spy on this page a bracelet by Flibbertigibbit (hi Anne) & Mondo Cherry art (another really nice mummy/ crafty blogger).
 The Red Thread Ooshka boy (sweet Lisa) & Ivy Designs DIY bead necklace kit (farewell Wynona, she's moved overseas), both at Shop Handmade. 
 More Shop Handmade designers - Plushka Penguin (hi Katia) & Melanie Swan Wall Bird (hey Mel).
 My parents have just touched down from overseas & apparently they've bought the latest & greatest from Guess for my 4 children.  Can't wait to see what they (read: their personal shopper) chose.  Yippee!!
 Finally, more donations for Qld flood relief - i put together this $150 hamper for high school. 
Yep, busy week & getting crazier!!  How much fun can one girl have??  A lot more than my poor darling husband!!  He's training & has slept at work on the floor in a swag for days - i said "when you are going home", he said "maybe Monday" & i laughed saying "most people say 6p.m."  See, imagine if we were living in Brisbane with him, we'd never see him anyway!!  Love Posie

Oh i should mention, Rowan was very obliging when i asked if i could take a photo of him taking a photo - i have no shame!! I felt about 5 years old when i said "it's for my blog"!! He was so nice - looks like a total gamer but such a great guy!! Love Posie

Yay for you. Congratulations my dear. Sleeping on the floor poor dear, but then they are trained for such things. I am about to hut the single mother scene. Tim is away from beginning of may through to the end if October. Not quite sure how the little man is going to be during that time as he has always had his dad around:( might be on the phone to get some tips. Might have to grab a copy of shop for kids
