Today has got off to a fantastic start! Firstly Sarah and I treated ourselves to our very first professional manicares thanks to a gift voucher I was given through a loyalty program. We felt very pampered and we then arrived home to find two packages at the front door.
First up, an advance copy of Pretty Little Presents had arrived from Lark Books. I submitted my projects back in June last year so it was exciting to finally see them in print. They have been beautifully styled. The book has some lovely projects – including some by other talented Aussie ladies – Belinda from Tuttifruiti and Marina from Wink Designs.
Not sure if I am supposed to be showing you what is inside but I am sure a quick peak won’t hurt! I have four projects featured included:
Notebook Cover
Travel Wallet
Lingerie Portfolio
and Jewellery Roll
I made up lots of these Jewellery Roll’s last year for gifts. I prefer to fold rather than roll them though:)
The other exciting package waiting for me was a Slow Cooker (that I got through FlyBuys- it only took me 4 years of shopping at Coles to qualify)! I can’t wait to cook some slow roasted lamb shanks with creamy mash – perfect for our wintery weather.

Congrat on your wonderful craft features in that book! To be in print like that…so amazing… So happy for you, Lisa! I love all your projects. And funnily enough I’m working on a design for a travel wallet–tee-hee…I love that roll-up case of jewerly/travel, it’s so pretty. You are so clever! And a slow cooker too…You are lucky. We can’t get them here in Norway. I used tO have one when I was in the States. I miss having one in the winter months especially. Enjoy your cooker. Can’t wait to see what recipes you’ll be dreaming up for that! Happy weekend, my friend :o) ((HUGS))

Congratulations, Lisa! How wonderful that you have FOUR projects in this new book. I love all of them, and especially that jewelry roll, which I do need. You must be so proud!

Congratulations on your beautiful projects…I especially love the jewelry roll. Oh how I love my slow cooker.
I love my slow cooker too! We could start a club! What a lovely book. Must be great to be “in print”!

Sounds like a fabulous day. The book looks great! I’m so happy for you.
I have the book Pretty Little Purses and Pouches and really like it. Now, after seeing your wonderful projects in Pretty Little Presents, I want that book too.
Congratulations on Your Projects in Print…They All look Fab.!
We’ve had a Slow Cooker for years and now have given the Kiddies one…I’d be Lost without it.Great for Silverside…
Enjoy!

Quick! Get those lamb shanks on so they are dripping off the bone before summer starts! Yummmm.
(and your work, as always, looks gorgeous).
congratulations Lisa what a stunning book it looks to be
I still have a silk Jim Thompson (Thailand) jewllery roll a friend gave me back in the eighties, when I lived in Asia. They are very practical and I am sure those who recevied your gift found it beautiful and useful.
Congrats Lisa – I have already ordered copies for the store – this series has been really popular – I told my rep that I knew one of the designers in the books so it was a must have for our store! – well know you in a bloggy way!
The jewellry roll is my favorite, and the fabric is just beautiful!
Ahh Lisa something else i will have to buy. I wish all you clever ladies would stop creating things and let me catch up! (or my purse).
You gotta love flybuys i am waiting for them to put a cappacino machine back on the list i have been saving my points.
McCormicks (i think) make great packets for the slow cooker really yum. The lamb shank one is delish.

beautiful Lisa
