Love you Queensland.

Queensland has been devastated by massive floods this year. Floods we haven't seen since 1974.  Over 200,000 people have been affected.  At least 70 towns were flooded.  Three quarters of the state was declared a disaster zone.

Yet even in these hard times, when all seems lost, there still appears some hope for those affected.  Please help out where you can so we can make this state beautiful again.

George brooches

I've started making some brooches using old children's books and heart shaped pieces of wood. I bought the unwanted books from Vinnies, and gave them a new life in cute little brooches. One of my favourites from childhood was George's Marvellous Medicine by Roald Dahl, which I have used for these. I have listed them on Etsy, and they are all one of a kind. Please let me know what you think. xo Teneale
