a Giveaway and a Trade

Miss Kim and I did another trade, yay! I've added a beautiful Puffin to my
collection and Miss Kim commissioned a squirrel brooch as a gift for a friend.



Also want to tell you about another great giveaway...Miss Kim and IKHAYA are
giving away a Baby Deidei Clonette doll. So pretty! The winner will be drawn
at 2pm today, so HURRY!

Mr Puggles and The Swan

Tamarin commissioned a pug brooch for her friend Adrie and a
origami style swan for herself. Look at the sweet pics of them
wearing their brooches. Thanks ladies, I totally love the pics!

Nordic Giveaway

It's no secret that I'm a huge fan of Miss Kim's work, so I'm already
kicking myself for telling you about her cool giveaway. See, I have my
heart set on this gorgeous albino reindeer. But everybody should have
a Longhurst beauty in their home, so you better get a move on and enter.

Anna's Fox

A very special gift

Received a lovely surprise from Miss Kim in the mail...
a puzzle brooch from iKhaya. Isn't he just too cute!

For Anelle

Dirk commissioned these two pals above as gifts for his wife, Anelle,
the creative mind behind Seven Swans Wedding Stationary. Go have
a look at her beautiful designs...

The Clothes Maiden

Stephanie Anderson writes and edits her own bimonthly independent
magazine, The Clothes Maiden. It's a mag filled with fashion, arts,
culture and all things quirky. And look who sailed into the Dec/Jan issue...

Miss Kim and I

Kim Longhurst, illustrator and maker extraordinaire, and I did some trading.
I'm crazy about Kim's work and am now the proud owner of 3 of her amazing
prints. Seeing them in my home every day really makes me smile!
Kim, you totally rock! Thanks for making me soooo happy :)



'Let's dream of fishing' was a Christmas gift for my sister
and Matt in memory of their beautiful 'Swartkat' aka 'Shongi'.

Here are some pics of the brooches I made for Kim.


Kim is a magpie lover, so I made this one especially for her.

Pongo the kitty was commissioned for Kjersti as part of the Package Project.

One of my 'birds in flight' was part of the awesome 12 Days of Giveaways.

Nunu the black labby is now at home with Kim's friend, Rhenda from iKhaya.

The Package Project

Thank you Dura for all my lovely gifts!
