It is no secret that myself and Caz are crafting challenged, we do harp on about our lack of skills a tiny bit. For the most part I am okay that I am not good at making pretty things, but then every now and then I come across pretty craft books and I wish that some divine intervention would occur and whammo I wake up and I can do beautiful stitches and make gorgeous things.
I have had the delight of having a stroll through the delightful online store Poppy Studio today and it truly has been a delight viewing those gorgeous designs in beautiful soft tones.
We all know that finding wall art for your baby’s nursery or child’s room can be tricky these days with so many different options on offer. If you’re looking for something truly one of a kind that your little one won’t outgrow in a hurry then be sure to check out Poppy Studio’s range of gorgeous hand painted artworks.
All of Poppy Studio’s artworks on canvas are designed and hand painted by Nicole Kerley, from Glenelg, SA. No two artworks are ever the same and are created in very limited numbers.
Poppy Studio creates quality, imaginative pieces that not only little people will adore, but also have an element of design and originality about them.
If you’ve been searching for something special to match your existing decor, have a chat to Poppy Studio about a customised design. Poppy Studio regularly designs artworks for clients to match bed linen or other room accessories.
Poppy Studio’s artworks come in a range of sizes. The 20 x 20cm size make great keep sake gifts, perfect for christenings and special birthdays.
Nicole has also just extended some of her designs to kids’ placemats after struggling to find something stylish for her own little ones that she wouldn’t have to keep hiding away in the drawer all the time.
Be sure to pay a visit Poppy Studio for beautiful, hand painted creations for your special little one’s space.
Crafty Mamas is the creation of, Lisa! A one person operation, born out of love for sewing for four children, and a serious lack of quality, trendy fabrics and patterns here in Australia.
Crafty Mamas is now in it’s 6th year of being having started out as a fabulously friendly crafty forum. Lisa tells us that not long after her much loved Ottobre Design mag was no longer available in Australia so she contacted the mag direct- and the rest is history. Crafty Mamas is the Australian wholesale agent for some amazing European brands like Ottobre Design, Stenzo fabrics, Farbenmix and Studio Tantrum patterns. They also wholesale to WAHMs and also to other retailers.
In the Crafty Mamas Retail shop you can find supplies to make your heart sing. Beautiful fabrics from around the world- with a special eye towards eco friendly items aimed at the littlies.
Knits from Sweden, Norway, Germany, Holland and the Us. Renowned HILCO of Germany and Stenzo of Holland fabrics. Inspiring patterns from local designers and overseas, ribbons and other trims…everything you need to create your own beautiful projects.
Their friendly forum is a wonderful resource for those just starting out, or looking for like minded friends. You never sew alone at Crafty Mamas!
It is certainly hard to pick only a few items to show you, so I think you really need to do yourself a favour and head on over to Crafty Mamas yourself for your own discovery journey. I do however totally love these Cinderella Zwergen Mode Patterns – some really funky designs, just ready for winter. That is one of the joys of Crafty Mamas, they have a unique selection of patterns, products and fabrics that you are unlikely to find elsewhere.
