Tunes whilst I tinker...

There is nothing better than having some music playing so that you can tap your feet and sing along whilst creating!

And so I wanted to share with you a beautiful voice that I have come across... her name is Rachael Brady and she is currently based in the gorgeous blue mountains, which must be part of her inspiration!

I have included links to her myspace page and also to where you can listen to some of her tracks on Triple J's unearthed page (where the best new aussie music comes from :)!)

My favourite songs are 'Gratitude', '26' and 'Heaven Under Y'Feet'...

Check her out if you get a chance... good to support our aussie artists!

Cheers

The VCFS Foundation

I had the opportunity back in 2008 to donate a handbag to the VCFS foundation. VCFS is the second most common genetic syndrome affecting 1 in 2000 people.

The foundation holds a biannual ball to raise not only much needed funds but to also raise awareness. It's a pleasure on my part to provide another tote bag to auction on the night.

The ball is on the 22nd May 2010 in Sydney, head to http://www.vcfsfa.org.au/ for more information...

Thanks Maria, hope the night is truly a huge success.

Making Happy Birthday gifts...

There is no better time to drift off from current projects than to stop and create something lovely for a birthday present... My daughter 4 had a little party for a friend of hers from school and this is what I came up with...
The picture may not be as clear as hoped (due to the fact that it was a quick snap before it was whipped away to be wrapped!) but it was adorned with sequins, seed beads and glitter glue. A beautiful purple print, but also made with a purple leather base...
Such fun to create!
Cheers
Sandy
