When a girl has too much fabric...

Who ever knew that could happen??
I have a fair stash, but currently my craft tables are hidden under a mountain of little bits of fabric! Still too big/useful to discard, I use them to make one of my favourite things. Mini bunting. Currently we have no mini bunting up. It is a self imposed ban. I may have previously "over bunted" at my last home... we are taking a bunting break, which means more bunting for you!

Here are two sets I prepared earlier...



The first one is a cute cotton set which literally made me smile while I was ironing it, the second is a longer vintage kimono fabric bunting (it's actually from the obi...). it is all metallic and silvery good:) Both available in my etsy store... if I don't get confused are try to keep them... and  over bunt another house....

And they are my new laundry shelves... love a good floating shelf also:)  I got a bit excited and put my Able and Game post card and Pocket Carnival gift card framed in my laundry... everyone has framed images in their laundry right? right?

Winner of the Vintage Kimono Clutch!


YAY! The day has finally come!! The winner was Angelene! YAY! hehe:) The vintage kimono clutch will go in the post for you tomorrow lovely Angelene!

Unfortunately Miss Suki-La was not happy to do the draw. She was napping and then someon rudely thrust a smelly old hat full of paper bit and expected her to nibble! "This is not delicious banana!" She exclaimed and ran off to investigate the felt fortune cookie that had fallen on the floor behind the couch... May be it was a reaction to the crazy orange towel replacing her normal rug that is getting a wash?
Therefore I had to do the draw... which isn't nearly as excting I must admit.


YAY for Ange:)

Vintage Kimono Clutch Giveaway:)


So this week I have a vintage kimono clutch sample to giveaway!

Breakfast friends Clutch is made of gorgeous metallic vintage obi fabric. The obi is the part that goes around the middle of the kimono.
The clutch has two pockets and a magnetic clasp. It is perfect of a night out or if you can travel light, everyday use!
The clutch can easily fit a phone, lip gloss, cards, cash and more! It measures 18cm(approx 7.5in) by 10cm(4in). It is made of vintage repurposed fabric and so may have small areas of age or wear. This clutch was one of the samples I made while perfecting the final product, this one is not padded.

Super cute and super limited quanitities are made in each fabric:)

I use my clutch everyday! Super useful:)

So if you would like to enter leave a post for each of these!

- Go to my etsy store, bobishi, and tell me what your most favourite item is!
- Spread the word about the giveaway, twitter, blog, facebook.... whatever!
- Follow my blog! Or if you already follow it you count it too!:)

Then leave me a comment, a separate one for each entry and Suki will draw the winner out of a hat on the 11th of February! Make sure there is a way for me to contact you so I can tell you that you have won!

Goodluck!

Last week of the holidays...


Oh what a lovely week. Starting off with seeing a brand new foal, only 4 days old! And then the giant horse Justice who was quite stampy... but also quite the licker. Can you see his tongue?? Trying to lick Al.. hehe
Then I made clutches out of vintage Japanese Obi material. Obis are the thing that goes around the middle of the kimono. They are stronger fabric:) I got lots of metallic obis to make clutches out of:)
Of course we went to Barleycorn Brewery again to bottle Al's birthday beer. Which has been deemed a success! And they will do it again! What fun hehe:)
I spent today eating delicious blueberries and replanting my succulent babies into bigger pots and growing new roots on little baby succulents!
I also found a flower on my strawberry plants! My friend Lenny showed us how to pollenate the flower and now we are super excited for a strawberry to grow! I also repotted my tomatoes, so hopefully they will be way happier in their new home!

And of course I hung out with my bunny:) Suki-la! Chillaxing on the couch. What a dag. She thinks she is human.
