Stationery Love for The Finders Keepers

So I think I have been pretty open about my love for paper and stationery in general. I mean, I still have my special Derwent pencils from when I was 8. Plus, it is part of the reason I decided to design my own after all. 

Luckily for you, the lovely people from The Finders Keepers recently asked me to name 6 of my favourite stationery prodz for their July Gift Guide. So here they are for you: 

1. Best Ever card by truth.be.told
2. Handmade letterpress tags (5 pack) by The Collectors Room
3. Pencil Hardback Book by Ask Alice
4. I like to draw pencil pack by The Small Object
5. How wonderful life is tray by Hanna Melin from Hello Polly
6. Award Ribbon Stickers by BLANK

Their are a bunch of other gorgeous products picked out by 5 other designers for you as a part of the July Gift Guide - check it out over here : http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/blog/2012/07/july-2012-gift-guide-stationry-lov/

pretty shiny things

i am well known in my world for being attracted to shiny objects. anything colourful, pretty or a little special and i am like a moth to a flame. i used to think this was a bad thing but now i have just decided to own it, i mean there are worse things to be right?

so here is something pretty from my little studio available now on madeit.com

truth.be.told exclusive to leeloo.com.au!

hello lovelies! i love mondays and today is especially awesome i can tell everyone finally my stationery is available on leeloo.com.au to buy! so go shout it from the mountain tops that people should go look (and buy!) not only because its my stuff + i am beyond excited but because leeloo has amazing stuff from gorgeous designers such as art4friends, my charlie girl & tabitha emma among many many others who are doing what they love and it makes the product a little more special i think. i'm going to have a celebratory drink:) fiona sewn gift card

a peck of hens...

well here is a little glimpse of the hens book i am working on at the moment. its been alot of fun and helen liked it so thats what is really important. just printing it all and then i have to tie up the gift tags i made for each of the hens thank you presents. they look better than i hoped!

so back to the printing and a little bit of sewing new cards. (actually its 35 degrees and a sunday - i'm getting some sun!)

its production time!

i have been working busily trying to get some items together to sell on madeit. so far so good but its hard to stay inside working when it is so lovely and sunny outside.

in any case here are a few of the cards and stationery pieces in process

hope they bring a little sunshone to your saturday xxx

something old, something new

sometimes i have an idea in my head that i can see and it looks great but when i try to actually create the real thing it looks nothing like it and i get disappointed. then there are days like yesterday.

as the parentals are renovating we have been spring cleaning, which is how i found my new precious box of old stamps. as soon as i saw them i thought hmm maybe they can be a pattern for the laidies to wear. so i spent a long time ilast night burning the midnight oil n a frenzy drawing and collaging and these are the results. i haven't sewn them yet i am actually happy that for once something turned out better than imagined

hope you have a creative day too xxx ava and the birds

sketching sketching sketching....

well it's been a few busy days for little me - baking a pavolva (thank fully it turned out!), getting a new 'do and sketching like a mad woman to come up with some new cards for a little project i will let you in on soon. thankfully the tea supply has kept me going but i think i will need a little rest - my arm hurts! anyway here are a few of the lovely drawings. hope you like them xx
