Banksia Earrings. Native Australian Flora Collection.


Gidday!
The first of my Native Australian Flora Collection. It is the Banksia, a beautiful tree native to Australia. It has a unique flower and also comes in red. This pair features a golden colour with lovely shades of green for the leaves which branch out at the base of the flower. These trees are found here in my suburb of Thornlie and grow magnificently. The pods that release the seeds are also fascinating, like little faces peeping out at you :)
The finding is a gold plated hook. These earrings are for sale for $15 and for International buyers there is postage of $8. A total of $23 AU. If you are in Australia the postage is $5, making a total of $20 AU. Please do not hesitate to post here if you have any questions.

Dalmatian Sweater



Here is a quick and easy embroidery project I did last week for my daughter who is turning 4 very soon. She loves puppies and dogs, especially dalmatians :) This pattern featured in an Inspirations magazine and is originally done for a winter dress and there are two more little dog designs that go on the yoke, this one i have done is featured on the back of the dress. Lilly really took a shine to these dogs in particular and i did them on a scivvy as we call it here in Australia, a good friend in the US informs me you call them Turtle neck sweaters :)
Because there is much more "give"in the fabric of the sweater it was very hard to transfer the design, so i ended up doing it mostly in freehand.
