Moonmum

Robot colouring posters are here!

Have been so looking forward to sharing this project with you... 

I've taken my robot fellow and dressed him up 50 different ways in three different posters. Plus there's an extra poster of plain robots for the kid's to use their imagination and dress up however they like!

There are four posters altogether, printed on a nice heavy paper. Each one is A3 size, which is perfect poster size but not so big to lose their attention. We have 'product tested' them here in the Moon house already and the kids loved looking at all the charaters and thinking of new ones to do on their own robot page. Apparently it's a bit outrageous that i didn't include a zombie robot however...

Available in the shop and here too.

Making...

Some owl wall art in progress... this little batch will be in the shop next week. 

Happy Friday! Have a wonderful weekend.

New! Personalised wall art

Something new over in the shop... i'm now making my 'Heart of Leaves' wall art to order! 

There are three colours to choose from which can be personalised with a child's initials in the centre. I hand embroider the letters in a simple running stich in co-ordinating thread. Perfect for a new baby gift or just something simple and beautiful to brighten up the room. 

Heart of leaves

Sewn yesterday: one of the many ideas scrawled in one of many notebooks. 

I like the pink and orange combo going on. So many tiny leaves made it intricate to sew but i'm really loving the effect.

Fashionably retro pattern or bad kitchen lino?

New roll of wallpaper from eBay has hit my desk and i'm loving it, but it kinda reminds me of a kitchen lino pattern.  What do you think? 

Brown, grey and orange... one of the reasons i love old wallpaper is the colour combinations it uses that i probably wouldn't have put together myself. Have started cutting it up already. First project is a little adventure wall art set.

 

The return of the Russian dolls

Yes, i've posted about these dolls before because i made them months and months ago (dare i say it may have even been this time last year?!?) but i think i'm finally ready to part with them. I've listed them in the shop before and then taken them out again. I've taken a few to market and had trouble parting with them. They were made and loved, but they are now back in the shop ready for new homes...

Why am i so attached to these? I'm not really sure, but i think its the colours and the extra detailing. They all have little bits of thrifted lace, hand embroidery and buttons, which just make them so tactile and lovely. 

This is just a few, they'll all be over in the shop in the next couple of days. 

 

The Square market preparations

Well, my little blog space has been very quiet hasn't it? The market is taking up much of my head-space and internet time, in addition to the usual craziness that accompanies this time of year. Plus one sick child.

But this afternoon i am happily getting through the last preparations for tomorrow's stall at The Square here in Bendigo, prettying up some notebooks, putting together the last christmas cards of the season and also frantically cleaning the house for the imminent arrival of some family visitors. Yes, the only time this house is ever respectable is when we're expecting guests! 

 

And because the year is finishing up, i'm having a little clear out of my wall art pictures at my stall... there are few pieces that were special orders never paid for, designs/colours that i'll no longer be doing and a couple of seconds too. They will be just $10 tomorrow, half price for you lovely locals. 

We're so very happy that our new market is finally here! Do come along for some handmade goodness. You can see a full list of stallholders and a few sneak peeks on The Square blog.

 

Geeking it up

Thought i'd put a few robot gift sets together...

Each set comprises a bad tie bot and a specially made wall art piece in a matching piece of the vintage tie. I think these would make a perfect little present for a robot lovin' boy for chrissy! (Be them young or old) Together they'll put a bit of quirkiness into any corner of the room.

Available here and here and here :)

The rainbow rabbits

I couldn't help myself... inspired by my son's colouring in pages a few days ago i whipped up some rainbow rabbits of my own! 

Available to buy here.

Spring birds giveaway!

Following my spring has sprung kinda post on Friday i've decided to do a wee giveaway... Up for grabs are two sets of my sweet little spring bird cards. Each set is made of five cards + five envelopes with my bird design in nice bright colours. Absolutely spring-ish! You could even pop them in some frames and make a sweet cluster on the wall.

Do note that these are the last two sets of the spring bird cards that i have left and they won't be made again. I have been holding on to them but no more! They're yours :)

 
I am going to make you work for them just a little though... please leave me a comment with your thoughts on what my next new design should be for my sewn paper cards or wall art pieces. Bear in mind that i use only simple shapes and i like to use buttons too. You can see what i'm currently doing by clicking on 'cards' and 'wall art' over on the right column ----> What else do you think would suit my collection? What's missing? What would you like to see added?

I'll be picking the two most lovely and perfectly suitable suggestions to send off a set of spring tweeters. We'll wrap it up on Wednesday evening ok? Go.
