Lovely mail and scraps galore!

This is how every Monday should be, a sleep in and a yummy breakfast, reading lovely blogs and some sewing and designing, I just love a public holiday.

One thing that has made me frown a little is the strange behaviour of blogger this afternoon. I was very worried for a moment to see a random message pop up instead of my blog so I'm whipping up a quick post to make sure everything is working properly.

I was so excited to receive a lovely package in the mail on Friday, I just had to share my latest purchase from the fabulous RE-Read Design. Hayley makes the most gorgeous resin brooches created from old children's books and I couldn't resist this adorable little brooch that was just so me.

Sweet little package wrapped in lovely recycled book pages and string

My beautiful 'Follow Me' rabbit brooch... I hope he will lead me to wonderland

Make sure you pop over to the RE-Read design Etsy shop and blog and check out the beautiful brooches and softies on offer. I'm eye off the very cute matching owls next. There are just so many to choose from.

I've been having a fabulous time this afternoon sorting through all my lovely scraps to create a collection of new collage brooches.

'The Collector' Collage Brooch

The Collector is now in my Etsy shop and there will be more to come over the next few days. There are just so many lovely occupations and hobbies in the world, now that I've begun I want to make them all. Some of my favourites, the Oceanographer, the Librarian and the Explorer. What occupations fascinate you?

We had an amazing night under the stars last night at the Paul Kelly concert and I've got some photos to share with you as soon as I finish sewing on some buttons and brooch backs.

PS. Watch out for crazy blogger messages.

Wishing you a productive Monday, full of creative moments
