Nothing happens unless first we dream!

So i am dreaming about our first home.

I thought we should write down everything we want in a home.

So that's what I did.

Then the very next day........I find it, down to every last detail!!

I absolutely can not get this house out of my head, its perfect.

I'm a firm believer of what will be will be, I truly hope this is meant to be.

It even has the most perfect space for Mylittle Humble, oh its a dream.

Mad March

2010-03-05T14:27:00.000+10:00

Hi everyone, welcome to March.

Wow, March is such a busy month for myself and my family.

Its my Mums birthday on the 7Th ( her 60Th too), my younger brother is on the 9Th, I'm on the 13Th, my older brother is a day after me, the 14Th, and also my niece is on the 14Th too, then we have my poppas which is on the 28Th. I could go on and on..... but I wont.

So I have been working on getting a surprise done for one of those Birthdays, which I wont give away which one, as the person could well be reading this. Anyway, today is my last day and its not looking like I will make the deadline......Oh well, got to let that one go. I do love making surprises for others though.

I have been down to my dear friend Chryslyns lovely new adventure this morning. Wonderful stuff, let me tell you. She is opening up a lovely little space called "Reap N Sew" in Burleigh, and its looking fantastic. I got such a great feel as I walked in. Boxes everywhere, not set up, but, oh its going to be amazing, I could feel it!!
I'm so excited for you Chrys, you will be wonderful.......and of course you can stock up on any of the Mylittle Humble range at a really affordable price.

Opening day is on Monday I do believe.....ill get an address for you and keep you informed.
Its in the little arcade near the tattoo parlor, there used to be an op shop in there down stairs. Well "Reap N Sew" are upstairs, don't miss out.
I realise that is just terrible directions as to where it is, but ill endeavour to find out today and make another post.

Ill leave you with a pic of a bag I made for my friend Sonia. She gave me the handles and I got to play. I would do it slightly different next time I think, but I was pretty happy with it.
Love the fabic!

Lifes too short

2010-02-19T12:00:00.002+10:00

Everyday LIFE brings us a lesson.

Whether that lesson be delivered to you in a kind and gentle way, or in a sudden and tragic one, Its trying to get your attention and tell you something.

This week a very beautiful man was taken so suddenly from so many people who adored him.
His name was BOBBY REES.

His death has awakened my mind in so many ways.

LIVE your BEST life, BOBBY was larger than life and lived his to the fullest.

I know I will.

R.I.P BOBBY.

I just love love this fabric. It was a beautiful Tea towel that I spied whilst visiting my Mum with my girls. She was keen to hold onto it but I begged.....well I said," how could you possibly buy something like that and not give it to me? Its me, its even made in Brasil" hehhe it was very funny. But she believed me, of course she should, so on my happy little way i went home with it! And a few other lovely fabrics ill show you soon. Lucky hey? Thanks mum x

Beautiful Brasil Fabric

2010-02-10T16:12:00.000+10:00

Today was a wonderful day!!

I made this beautiful purse as one of many that will be going into my Etsy shop very very soon. I took lots of photos thinking I could list them today, but quickly realised that wasnt going to happen, as I am sooo not a photographer.

Progress is good!

2010-02-08T11:29:00.000+10:00

Hi all, what lovely rain we have had. My garden is gloriously GREEN. Thanks to my husbands constant attention also! Not so great for some, as parts of the Gold Coast have been flooded.
WHY do people still continue to cross flood waters? It baffles me. I think I have seen too much on floods this weekend. We watched a dvd on floods with our girls, just to show them that it can actually cause lots of devastation. ( This was after they spyied an amazingly huge puddle and wanted to play in it!! )The force of flooding waters are just incredible. It dosnt have to be deep in order to move things, especially little people.

Anyway, lots of cutting was achieved in these rainy days. I made about 25 brooches. and 3 lovely purses. I will load some photos on here tonight when Marconi gets home as im not having much luck with this area on my new toy!!

First entry for the big 2010

2010-01-28T06:32:00.000+10:00

O Im terrible at this blog stuff. My intentions are so so grand, but getting around to it just never comes often enough. I have a new Lap Top and I am still finding my way around it, so bear with me and ill be able to get some more lovely photos on here for you to admire. But for now, all my OS friends, you can have a little look at our Beautifull Koala from Down Under.

Hello all, I have just returned from 5 weeks in Brasil and am feeling wonderfully refreshed and ready to rock your worlds with 'Mlittle humble'.

It was my first trip to meet my husbands family, and it truly was amazing. I have posted a pic of my beautiful husband and I at a gorgeous beach called, 'Prai de Tambaba'. Everything about it was just incredible. I'm sure I was Brasilian in a past life!

Missing in action again!

To share or not to share?

2009-04-12T11:52:00.000+10:00

I have struggled all along with whether or not I put photos of my children on this blog. They are so gorg its hard not too. But I have found that every time I go to post one of them, I get a not so nice feeling deep down in my tummy. So ....I am busting still, but have decided a compromise. I don't really want to Share my kids with the world......but I am willing to give you little snippets of them, whilst still protecting their identities. SO thats what I have done with the last two pics....hope you enjoy them.

2009-04-12T11:46:00.002+10:00

This photo was taken back a few years ago at Sea World. I love it....Camila and Estella, little sisters are fun she used to say. Not anymore!!

2009-04-12T11:33:00.001+10:00

I couldnt go past this one of Camila's Fairy outfit she got last year for her 5 years on earth.....Heavenly

Bad Blogger!

2009-04-03T12:37:00.000+10:00

Well I'm officially the worst blogger. I actually forget about it, until my friend Sarah says, "Moni, update your blog, Ive been dropping into check it, and there is nothing new"....oops sorry Sarah. This one is for you, ill go and find something exciting to put up(found my charger) and ill be back.

2009-03-07T11:10:00.000+10:00

Another one of my favourites. This piece was an Old place mat. Its Paint on linen. Beautiful. Finished off with an Antique brass coloured frame.

Purses to go to 'I dream a highway!!'

2009-03-06T20:28:00.000+10:00

OK, so where does all the time go? My last entry was on Feb 15Th, and it only feels like yesterday.

I have recently been lucky to get a store in Melbourne that would love to stock my purses. Its called I DREAM A HIGHWAY, 259 High st Northcote. Go check out their web page http://www.idreamahighway.com.au/ Its a very very funky space with all sorts of different designers. I'm so excited. Being a Victorian Country girl myself it feels really right to be sending down a big order to them. Its the most purses I have had to make at one time.......This is the first time I have thought, OK maybe I do need someone to help me sew??

There are cut outs of purses in every corner of our home. I think they call it organised Kayos? I am doing 10 of each size, which would make it 40!! Do you know for that amount of purses, there is 320 pieces to be cut out, before any sewing is even thought about. Then there is the ironing of 160 pieces, then there is the assembly of each purses, then the labels (2 on each) the pinning and THEN, I can think about sewing!! Its SUCH a process. I think that's why I am so happy when I finally do get one done that is fantastic, different to all that you see in stores and has everyone oohing and ahhing over it!!

So, now ill let you in on where I'm at at this stage.....I have 300 pieces cut, labels on, ironing done of 100 pieces and am thinking about sewing. OH, I nearly forgot, I picked up my new machine today..........I'm nervous to sew with it its so beautiful. Not the top of the line, well I wouldn't know actually, but anyway, its going to be fantastic for what I do.

ill keep you posted in my progress.

I have committed to all 40 purses in the mail by next Thursday, so ill let you know how I go. I WILL do it, you just wait to hear about the fun that's about to be had this week! see you then x

A gift for a friend

2009-02-16T15:55:00.000+10:00

I made this Large purse last week for a very dear friend Carley.My sewing machine decided to end its time on earth a while ago, so ive been using her machine until mine is off layby. It so nice to be able to make things for people and get such an intense reaction when they recieve it. Carley was sooo so happy with this little number it made my day!!

First day of school!!!

2009-01-28T15:13:00.000+10:00

Do you remember your first day of school?

My eldest daughter started school yesterday and I was SO so proud of her. It was a real feat from both of us actually, as we are both quite emotional beings. There were no tears! OK, so I had a couple when I was having my shower but I kept it all to myself. Got to school and off she went with a skip in her step. It was really exciting. Marconi had the day off which was nice, that little bit of moral support helps.

So then came the second day off school....dropped the younger one ( Estella) to Pre school and then Camila to school, well it was a whole different feeling doing it by myself....i looked back at her sitting all alone on the mat, then to see a lovely little NEW friend come and sit with her and start chatting, brought tears to my eyes. You will be ok at school my little darling.

Off I went home, proud and emotional.

2009-01-22T08:27:00.000+10:00

This Fabric is a screen printed piece of Linen from the 60s. Just beautiful.

Just fold it over , or not, and pop it under your arm and off you go.

2009-01-21T21:22:00.000+10:00

Great things come from Humble begginings!

I have always been a BAG LADY and could never have enough purses on the go at once. SO, I thought Id start a business doing what I love most. Ive been making purses now for about 2-3 years, from recycled fabrics. I don't have a big studio where I work, just my dinning room table.....very HUMBLE!!
I have added a link to my Etsy store that I opened ...ummm, OK, well nearly 2 years ago, and have yet to list anything (time is precious) or should I say fears stood in the way? Go and take a look. You can also find my things in INVERSE gallery, in James st, Burleigh Heads on the Gold Coast in Queensland AUSTRALIA. Ill have to find out if they have a link to a web site.
So whatever it is you LOVE in life. Do it and do it well, you cant ask for much more....you'll feel good for it. Dont worry how long it takes, everyting happens when It is meant to, its the Universes timing that makes it. Perfect!

This is the year of Mylittle Humble!!

2009-01-14T21:55:00.000+10:00

HAPPY NEW YEAR everyone.....Peace, Love and Happiness all around you!!

OK, so that took a while to get back. I got sooo lost. After a wonderfully full Christmas and New year with Family and Friends, a Camping trip I think my girls will never forget, and 2 computer crashes later.....I am HERE!! Found and almost ok with how it all works.

Im saying all this with my fingers crossed that this computer stays virus free for atleast a week so i can post some fun things.

I Thought I might start off with some corners of my home, inspiring things I like to look at and anything beautiful.....remembering Beauty is in the eye of the beholder too.

First Post!!

2008-11-24T21:35:00.000+10:00
