It's been a while.

You thought we'd forgotten you! well it's been a while but Charlie and I are still here. Hopefully we'll be around a little more often from now on. Charlie and her best mate Jack wanted to say Hello

Handmade Christmas

As I mentioned in my last post, this Christmas just gone my sister and I decided that we had to make each others presents and here's the results. 



I made my sister a Vertical Garden, this is the how it looks after she planted it with lots of yummy herbs.

And here’s what she made me…..

 These cushions are fabulous, they are the comfiest cushions ever! I’m leaning against them now as I type.

Hopefully this is the start of a new tradition between us ….. but we’ll have to put our thinking caps on to out do ourselves next Christmas.

I'm Back

Well it's been a while between posts.... It's been a very challenging year and that's all I'm saying on that one. But I've got my crafty mojo back! And hopefully it's here to stay. 

Here's my Christmas crafting 

This year my sister and I are having a handmade Christmas and making each other's prezzies. I'll share what I'm making when it's done and received :)

Leap Of Faith

This year I've taken a leap of faith and ventured in to the world of print advertising for my iheartcharlie Etsy store. As part of my involvement with the Western Australian Etsy Street Team I've shared in a full page advertisement in Peppermint Magazine with some of my fellow teamies. 

 

That's my journal on the right hand side of the page. 

We've included a coupon code for Peppermint readers (it's under the pink rectangle at the top of the page, but you'll have to buy the magazine to see what it says!). For those of you who can't purchase the issue at a news agency Peppermint Magazine is also available on Digital download. If you've never read this magazine before it's definitely worth a read. 

It was so exciting to buy my copy yesterday and see my shop in there. Now I'll just have to sit back and see what comes of it. 

A very BIG THANK YOU to a fellow team mate Nicole from Tall Rabbit for her expert design skill in creating the ad for us.

Goosey

Yep it's a goose

This is Goosey, she's the latest addition to our household. 

She arrived for an extended visit yesterday and if she fits in she'll stay 

and perhaps we'll give her a slightly more original name !

But in the mean time she's gradually getting used to us and 

her new surrounds. Our doggies are still trying to work out who 

she is, but I'm sure in time they'll all be good friends.

I heart Panda's

today I've been watching Panda Cam

It's totally addictive, they're such happy creatures. These pictures are from Panda Cam 1 and feature toddlers Yaoman and Shenbing at the Bifengxia Panda Reserve in Ya'an China.

 

it would have to be one of the cutest things I've seen in a long time. You have to check it out for yourself. 

I heart Panda's and Panda Cam xxx

 

A Little Excited

I have to say, today I am a little excited. I've spent most of the day photographing and listing items in my very own web shop hosted on Big Cartel. And.... I now have my own domain name www.iheartcharlie.com.au

I've only listed a few items but I'm so excited that I have to share it with you

yet another step towards the iheartcharlie empire.
and now I'm off to list some more items :0)
