Inspired by the sentiment of 'mend or make do' I wanted to draw a girl using her embroidery and sewing skills to adorn her skin.
Here she is...prints will be in the shop soon and also at the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market.

Rainy days and monsters..
It's raining, it's pouring.
Monsters aren't boring!
P.S. I've got a nasy case of Earworm involving a little 'Afternoon Delight'. Please feel free to make it your own, I'm getting a little sick of 'sky-rockets in flight' being on high rotation in my brain!!!

Celebrate the Boy - February 2010
For all those mama's of boys, you'll know how hard it can be to find cute, fun stuff for the little dudes in your life. I know I don't even bother looking at boys clothes in shops anymore because the choices are generally so.......neutral, or navy or just plain gross! Thankfully I have some favourite places that I shop for my boys online and they also get all my test runs!!
You can imagine my excitement when I stumbled upon 'Celebrate the Boy' in February 2010 over at Made by Rae. She's hosting this month of noisy, jumping around uncontrollably fun along with Dana at Made.
There's tutes and giveaways and lots of other fun stuff all month just for boys!
Big thanks from me to Rae for adding my Green Happy Horned monster to her 'Strut your Stuff' boys stuff mosaic too. That's my beautiful biggest boy working it in the tee up top!!!

Kwila Monster Brooch....

Salvaged Silky and a monster production line!
These are a few of my new 'Wearable Art' brooches. They're made using this amazing salvaged silky oak that's really old and really hard. I love the grain of silky and it's really quite nice to work with.....it just cuts, you know. These 'Wearable Art' brooches are hand coloured by me and then sealed to create a durable finish.
I made this one using some really, really old salvaged red cedar. It's so incredibly rich and dark which suited my little afro chick sketch perfectly.
And this is just a little peak at the PJ the Jammie Eater production line that's going on at the moment for the BiM (BrisStyle Indie Market) on March 6. These dudes have eyes now and are just waiting for me to get off my butt and sew their horns and heads together!

5
My biggest boy turned 5 yesterday. Wow! I still can't quite believe how quickly this last 5 years has gone. It's certainly been a whirlwind for me and Mr Jetta's Nest. We celebrated with some good friends and a special little girly friend who turns 5 on the same day.
Biggest boy also started Prep last week and he's really enjoying it which I'm so relieved about. I know it's early days but I was kinda worried he'd hate it so I'm really stoked when he is excited about going.
Now that everythings settled down I'll be gearing up for the start of what's looking to be a very busy year kicking off with the first BIM (BrisStyle Indie Market) on March 6!!
