my creative space today

cutting cutting cutting...
today i've started making a bunch more little bird cards, 18 to be exact - which means that i cut out exactly 468 little leaves!! ...i'm surprised my hand didn't drop off! ...cutting card is very draining, & painful after a while :( ...but the end result is worth it!
...now to make the pretty little birds & flowers to go on them!

meanwhile...
'kitty' flirtatious octopus is off to the sydney 'stitches & craft show' to appear on the 'madeit' stand...lucky bitch!bye for now!

"marelle" now in store!

the gorgeous girls at Lila Boheme salon have kindly stocked a selection of "marelle" gift cards & magnets! ...this is a first for me, and i have to say a BIG THANK YOU to the lovely Lisa & Monique at Lila Boheme!!

...so if you're in Brissie & you need a professional cut & colour, i definately recommend Lila Boheme, 89 Heal street, New Farm.

'marelle shop' open for business!

yep, i'm on etsy now...finally! ...and i have to say, it's really great - etsy that is! i've only just finished listing items for today & there's TWO people who "♥" my shop already! ...and i've had way more people view my items than i thought would in such a short time frame! ...i'm so impressed...i love it!

go have a look for yourself!
i'm keeping my "made it" store as well, and there will be different items listed in each shop!

congratulations...

thank you to everyone who participated in my little giveaway! there were so many great answers - funny, sad & interesting, i really enjoyed reading them all... and i even learnt some new bird facts!

unfortunately however, there can only be one winner & that is...

"Big bird is my favourite. No other bird gives me half an hour of peace and quiet to go clean up the house and put it back in order like he does ;-)"
