A love letter to Mac Pelican (but mostly Amber)

April 14, 2011

For the last year and a half I have had the pleasure of working at Mac Pelican, a beautiful little shop in Hawthorn that supported local and interstate makers and was positively brimming with goodness. It was a delightful place to work, being surrounded by the work of clever people and lovely loyal customers but [...]

Yes. Sure. Ok.

April 11, 2011

I have a lot of trouble putting myself first. And I don’t mean to say I’m a martyr, far from in fact. I just like to say yes! No problem! Sure, that’s fine! Yep, I’ll do it, I’m your man! When actually I’m thinking, I’m not sure if I can fit it in. AT. ALL.

A good day

February 2, 2011

I had a good day today, a great day in fact. It’s funny how getting it all out helps. Thanks for listening! And more often than not, you realise that things aren’t nearly half as bad as they seem. In fact not really that bad at all.

Christmas at Mac Pelican

November 17, 2010

Just finished the Christmas window for Mac Pelican. It’s all loose and free flowing, with strewn wrapping and tangled string and half wrapped presents. In actual fact I pretty much based it on what my house looks like leading up to Christmas. Easiest window yet!

November 4, 2010

Finally an update to my etsy shop!
There are 5 new blankeys in there right now!
There are a few leftover from the markets and 2 that I finished just last week. I’ve said before and I’ll say it again, they’re my very favorite thing to make. Hope that it shows.

It’s a wrap!

October 13, 2010

What a crazy-town weekend I’ve had! It’s taken me 3 full days and nights to recover. I also had some serious book reading, lego playing, guitar listening, dancing and scooting to catch up on with the kids. Otto has told me to NEVER do another Finders Keepers again! Advice that I will keep in mind [...]

September 30, 2010

I’m not going to lie. Things are full on around here at the moment. I am waking up most mornings looking alot like Beetlejuice up there. And you don’t even have to say my name three times either. I have totally bitten off more than I can chew and last night…well…let’s just say I tantrummed. I [...]

Stamps and stickers and swing tags…oh my!

August 29, 2010

Yes that’s right folks. I have a NEW stamp to go on my NEW box that has a NEW sticky label on the side. Organised or what? I feel incredibly professional and grown up, like I have a proper (ish) business and don’t sew in my pj’s at midnight in my workspace slash broom closet [...]
