Our home in The (Sydney) Magazine
Our kitchen, and the cover of The Crafty Minx
A few months ago the lovely Andrea Millar, homes writer for The (Sydney) Magazine visited, along with inspiring lifestyle photographer Prue Ruscoe. I’ve often admired Prue’s pictures in Inside Out and various other magazines and books, so was thrilled to have her in our home to take these shots, which appeared in the magazine last Thursday. If you follow the blog you will have seen all this before, but Prue has done a far better job than me at capturing our home in its best light.

Heart, bow and speckled hen egg cosies
This is the latest craft feature I worked on with Australian Women’s Weekly, out now in the March 2010 issue. Grab a copy for the instructions on some fun Easter craft, and a little taste of what’s to come in The Crafty Kid: projects for and with children (out this June).
The gorgeous snaps are by my friend and ACP photographer, Dean Wilmot. Love your work, Dean.

Bowled over by ceramics
Mud Australia
I’ve become quite obsessed with handcrafted ceramics of late, acquiring a small collection to dot about the house with feathers, bits of driftwood, sea glass, pebbles, shells and other found objects. These are fine art objects anyone can collect.
I’ve also started using ceramics every day in the kitchen, purchased from Mud Australia at one of their legendary sales in the Marrickville studio. You can be assured of its pedigree – Mud’s stocked at MoMA, as well as Pentimento in Sydney’s Newtown.

And here’s another beautiful bowl by Brisbane’s Kylie Johnson – aka Paper Boat Press. Well worth a look also.
