Keep it clean

Here are some photos of my accidental (yes I'm sure it's accidental) collection of white & blue china. Which is really just an excuse for me to say "Look at that clean benchtop underneath them!" That benchtop, my friends, was cleaned with my homemade spray & wipe that I made last night. Would you like the recipe?

You will need:
Water
Sunlight diswashing liquid
Tea tree oil
Baking soda

Fill a litre bottle nearly to the top with water. Add a teaspoon of baking soda, a few squirts of the Sunlight diswashing liquid and 10 drops of tea tree oil. Give it a shake.

It smells so nice that I have done extra cleaning. And that never happens.
Ok, enough blogging about cleaning products; I'm going to do some painting on my newly clean art table!

New Felt shop listings

Just a little note to say I've added some new prints to my Felt shop this morning. They're my 'Sampler' prints in red and silver.

Close to home

Thanks for all your comments on my giveaway, your quirks have made interesting reading, keep 'em coming. I'll draw a name this Friday so you've got until then to enter if you haven't already. And Mr Millicent Crow, that last picture's for you!

A Friday giveaway

Seeing as it's Friday I thought I'd have a little giveaway. I've got a Millicent Crow prize pack up for grabs, with one of my red "Sampler" gocco prints, a kowhai seed patch and a feather patch. Here are some closeups:


I'll post them anywhere in the world. If you'd like to enter, just leave me a comment below telling me one of the little quirks that you have. I'll get the ball rolling. One of my little quirks is that I ascribe colours to numbers, letters and days of the week. So Monday is blueish, Tuesday is light green, Wednesday is dark green, Thursday is a funny shade of orange...
They call it synesthesia. My sister has it too; some of her colours are the same as mine and some of them are different.

How about you?

I'll draw a name out of a hat next Friday to find the winner.

Good luck, happy weekend to you!
