I had an awesome weekend! Why? Because it was my birthday!

It all started from Friday night when my dear in-laws arrived with a gorgeous bouquet of Australian native plants. I love these flowers, all uniqueness in one bunch.

Saturday was full of surprises. From the best present ever, to absolutely delicious Fish & Chips for lunch in The Boat House. All was perfect.

BTW if you have never been at The Boat House in Palm Beach, then add this place to your visit list, it’s awesome. Check these plants at the entrance!

Next day was quieter, touched by sweet little treasures. Like these fresh lemons and gorgeous camellias from the in-laws garden, they were so kind to share them with me. Their garden is just bursting with winter harvest at the moment.

Thank you my lovely family for creating such a wonderful birthday for me. I am still in my weekend mood, but reality is calling me back.

New fabric is in store! Finally, after a slight daley, SKAZKA and TROPINKA fabrics can be purchased in BlueBerry Ash stores. Etsy and Craftumi. For the first run I printed these just in three colours, but there are more to come.

Many things happened last week. But the biggest thing was… me being featured on Etsy, in Featured Designer article. It’s still kind of dreamy to me.

How many Etsy articles I have read? Many. And always wanted to be featured there too, even long before I started BlueBerry Ash. And here I am, on Etsy’s front page. I am so thrilled! It’s my first big online media coverage!

And look what I have spotted the night before in the latest issue of Real Living, Australian home decor magazine. My Knock Knock cushion cover! First magazine! Yay!

All of this requires a little dance in celebration.

you can buy these in my Madeit store

Heavy rain woke me up this morning. I think it was trying to spoil my day 😉 But it’s not that easy when I have new fabrics to work with that just arrived.

On the weekend I have been making market bags, using some fabric leftovers that may not have printed well. I managed to turn scraps into two perfectly scruffy bags, hand printed, handmade and a bit of hand stitched. I don’t know why, but I got attached to them quite a bit, it’s kind of silly, but I hope they will be found by someone special who will love them to bits 🙂 Meanwhile they will be in my shops here and here waiting for that special to come along…

My Creative Space

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Maria

This morning I decided to participate in Our Creative Spaces. It’s an open to anyone who creates a weekly blogging theme that I found through Plushka Craft blog of a very talented crafty girl. The idea is to post a photo from your creative space every Thursday to share what you’re working on that day! It’s not the only reason I decided to commit to this theme, but to add a discipline to my blogging routine. So from now on every Thursday I will blog about my creative space and what I am up to.
