Never Say Never

I've finally found the perfect combination of ingredients for a shop update - new tins, sunlight for photography and a little bit of time and energy.


So, if you pop over to the shop, you'll find a stack of new Tinnies ready for your viewing pleasure.


I'm definitely a never say never kind of girl BUT I'm pretty sure that these will be the last Tinnies you'll see for a while, if not forever. I certainly won't be doing them as a regular thing, despite kinds words of protest from lots of lovely crafty gals.


If you've ever thought you might like to enjoy the Tinnie experience, now's the time to do it. It may very well be your last chance.


I've also marked down the last of the Luckies. They're a bargain at $10US or Aussie folk can purchase directly from me for $20AUD including postage.

Time to get on with my collages, and a couple of other new ideas that I'm brewing. Perhaps a little sleep first....

Happy weekend everyone. Big thanks to Nikki for hosting a superb morning tea today.

Oooh, Luckie

I've just put the last of the Luckies in the shop. There's only 15 left so if you want to get your hands on one pop on over to the shop and get Luckie.

My Luck is Your Luck

I've been feeling pretty lucky lately. Lots of good things have been happening and even things that haven't seemed so good at the time have ended up being fortuitous. There's been plenty of learning, lots of growth and perhaps most importantly a good deal of happiness.

I've really noticed lately how my journey is very much two steps forward, one step back. In fact I seem to take great strides forward and then come to a place of questioning and self doubt. More and more I'm realising though that if I sit with the uncertainty and questioning and let it run its course, the answers always come in their own time. I am really coming to understand myself a lot better and learning how to let go. I'm learning how to take better care of myself and how to stop overthinking and trying to find answers all the time. I'm starting to see that sometimes the only thing to do is to put everything on hold and do things to feed my soul like crafting, hanging out with friends and taking long baths.

So that brings me to the title of this post - my luck is your luck. It's time for a giveaway.

I have 2 Luckies to give away. Anyone for Barry Crocker or Bing Crosby?

Leave a comment in this post, sign it Barry or Bing so I know who your heart most desires and I'll draw a winner this Sunday night.

I have about 25 Luckies left. I'm taking them to the market tomorrow and you can pick one up for $20. I wasn't happy with the original price so I've dropped it right down. I definitely won't be making anymore either so if you want one you'll have to come to the market, check the shop next week or email me.

Ask Yourself, Do You Feel LUCKIE?

I am so excited to share my newest creation with you.

Meet The Luckie!

Luckies are the brothers of Tinnies. Recycled album covers made into boxes and filled with vintage paper goodness.

What's in a Luckie?

You'll find wallpaper, board game pieces and illustrated pages from children's books. Dictionary and atlas pages, sheet music and sewing paper. Add a good dose of Reader's Digest pages and some old encyclopedias, a paint card, a doiley and a few other treasures, and you've got yourself a Luckie.

You know what makes them just that little bit more special?
They're limited edition.
I've only made 50 of these creative treats.
I'm launching them at the Stitches and Craft Show next week.
They retail for $40.

If there are any left after the show I'll be taking them to the
Made n' Thornbury Market on March 28th.

If you can't make the show or the market and you really want to get Luckie email me at tinniegirl(at)optusnet(dot)com(dot)au. You'll be first in line for any Luckies left.

It's Lucky to Love Craft. Don't you agree?
