Once again this year I am participating in the Lort Smith Animal Hospital fundraising campaign "Party for Strays."
Lort Smith Animal Hospital helps over 100,000 animals every year.
Their campaign 'Party for Strays' helps to create awareness in the community and raises significant funds to save the lives of animals in dire need of medical treatment and loving homes.
The lovely Leigh and Laura over at That's Noice blog wrote a post about my little party cupcake charms I am selling to raise money for Lort Smith.
They describe their blog as an Aussie-centric blog full of things considered awesome,
and I agree. They show and discuss lots of great items from toe socks to cupcakes and I am so honoured to be mentioned on their wonderful blog. Thanks ladies.
My cupcake charms can be purchased here.
They are only $20 each. 100% of sales goes to Lort Smith and postage is FREE!
It's for such a great cause so head on over, purchase a cupcake charm and Party for their lives!

In August, 19th to 23rd Madeit attended the Sydney Stitches & Craft Show.
Bec organised a booth & displayed a range of beautiful handmade products picked from crafters that have stores on the Madeit website.
I was lucky enough to have my daisy studs chosen to be displayed alongside all of the other talented people that were accepted.
The Stitches & Craft show is Australia's longest-running craft show, it had:
- Craft Bars: where you could learn a new project in under 30 minutes
- Reconstruction Zones: Where you could take a garment and re-fashion it on the spot
- Handmade Nation: watch a film about the DIY craft and design movement in the US
- Studios: presented by craft retailers
- Fashion Parades: Wardrobe Refashion & Burdastyle
- Inspiration: Lots of pop up displays around the show for you to be inspired by.
Phew, I would have had a ball!
Some of the fab things on the Madeit stall were:
In the yellow box the Little Babushka Doll - Little Wise Owl
In the pink box the Little Blue Shoes - LoveBird
In the red box the Daisy Studs - Narelle
In the blue box the Madeit Recipe-zine edition 1 - Madeit
So click on the links & get shopping.
A big 'Thank you' to Bec for doing such a wonderful job on getting Madeit out there & for the amazing opportunity it gives all the talented crafters/artists around Australia.

This week I have been busy in the studio getting some pieces made for a market on Sunday.
As scary as it sounds, I did actually want to have a few of my Christmas lines ready to go as well, but they will have to wait for the one next month.
The pieces on my bench at the moment (seen in the photo) are small bezels that I will be using to make resin & paper dangly earrings.
I have some smaller ones made too for studs, but they were a little shy and hid in the pickle when the camera came out!

I have a store on Etsy!
Okay, well I opened a store on Etsy back in August 2007 but I have only just got around to listing a few items.
I guess I just felt that I'd get lost amongst all the other beautiful items for sale, especially in the jewellery section.
Then I thought 'what the hey' may as well give it a go and already I've been quite surprised.
I've had a few looks & someone has even hearted an item.
I have so many photographs to take of new items I need to get listed in all three of my stores but there is never enough time left in the day.
Fingers crossed tonight I'll get a couple of hours to take some pics before I have to go off to work.
Which is something I really need to think about. Night shift just doesn't seen to be working for me anymore, it's making me so tired I have no energy left for the day to be creative.
Okay, away goes the violin, enough of the sob stories. I'm off to finish a couple of orders.
