i love nicoletta ceccoli's illustrations!

back in the early days of google, i googled my name in what must have been a wasting time exercise! it was meant to happen though because the search results brought up pages of nicoletta ceccoli's illustrations, an amazing italian artist - my love for her work begun!

how could i resist - this is one of my favourite pieces:


very special friends of mine recently bought me a gift - a nicoletta ceccoli notebook. i was stoked. thanks wesson-demarco's. you know me too well :)

love nicoletta (unfortunately not with the talents of ceccoli)

memories of the swap card

anna and i spent the night reminising about our child hood swap cards. we loved to collect them, put them into our precious handmade swap card boxes and share them with each other (we didn't often swap them though!!!). wish we knew where they were now.

hmmm ... inspiration for the next round! stay tuned

... and the blogging begins

i have become a blog addict. i spend hours reading crafters and artists blogs. i go to bed with my iphone and instead of reading the novel that has been sitting on my bedside table for months, i read blogs. i find it so inspirational and i'm in love with people choosing handmade.

my mum and grandma taught, encouraged and nurtured my sister and i to be happy creative crafters from a really young age. i can remember knitting scarves and doing cross stitches well before we even started primary school! we used to love the cold winter melbourne days because it meant we could sit on the ducted heater, watch girls just want to have fun and craft! hmmm - yep nothing has changed - well maybe the choice of movie!

my sister anna and i have been dreaming of running a company together for so long. we launched 'write to me' earlier this year and we're having stacks of fun watching it grow.

we know how convenient today's means of communication is - emails, text messages, facebook, twitter, blogs - however the original concept of our creation is to get people to write to each other the old fashioned way.

write to your lover, best friend, long lost friend, grandma, grandpa, mum, dad, brother, sister, teacher, neighbour, cousin, aunty, uncle - really anyone you can think of - to say i love you, hello, tell your news, to wish congratulations, happy birthday, thinking of you, get well soon, i miss you, happy engagement, happy hens, happy kitchen tea, happy wedding day, welcome baby, bon voyage or just plain thanks! send it in the mail if you can as there is not enough nice mail in the post these days - or even better hand deliver. oh and hand write to people - it means so much more.

we look forward to sharing our journey, ideas and inspiration with you.
