We have a shop!
We are thrilled beyond belief to announce we have been accepted as part of the renew Port Adelaide project and we have one (well 2 actually) of the shops! Here is an image of the beautifully restored building we will be moving into.
We've had a chance to chat with a few of the local galleries and businesses and have received very positive feedback. There seems to be a lovely community spirit at The Port and everyone has been very welcoming and supportive. Now to get cracking getting ready for our opening of My modern nest.
The building also houses a fantastic community project called Ladder, which provides independent living accommodation for kids at risk of homelessness. There are some amazing images of the finished building on the architects website here.
We have a busy and exciting few weeks ahead. Hooray!

Babies and sewing
My go to gift in the last year has been a hand made baby blanket. They are super easy to make, but I still feel some self satisfaction that I have made some effort to give a handmade personal gift. They are basically two pieces sandwiched together and bagged out with a border stitched around the edge.
Here are a few recent ones:
Cute Forrest friends fabric from Spotlight
Another cute Spotlight patchwork fabric. I'm not normally into pink but I love this patchwork print. I have made one for baby Hannah and one for Violet, and I also have enough to make a single bed quilt cover for when she is bigger.
Another great find from Yuzawaya This one is for Violet, bit I made one in Pink for baby Caitlin and in Navy for baby Archie.
Kokka elephant print. I used the reverse colourway on the Toy box cushion.
And here are the very proud Grand Ma's and Pa's with their respective new Grand kiddies
Pops and Violet are on the far right. So nice to be able to see all these gorgeous little ones grow up together.

Clever Husband
My clever Husband Ben worked on this project "Fractured Soul" last year, and the game has finally been released. Take a look at the youtube trailer below.
If you are into games check it out. It's getting some very positive reviews so hopefully it does really well.
The Australian games industry, and most industries in general have been suffering these last few years with the high Australian dollar and shite economic conditions worldwide, so get out there, buy it and support Australian locally made talent.
