Stitch. Read. Covet. Blog.


Stitch: I could certainly be very happy wandering around my wooden floors in a pair of these socks come Winter. Whether or not the pattern would be too much for me is another matter entirely. But I do believe they are beautiful, beautiful socks.


Read: This looks like a fabulous new read. Blogger and baker extraordinaire Lorraine Elliott explores food, blogging and happiness in this new release. What more could a girl ask for? Congratulations to Lorraine!


Covet: I can see this brooch on my new navy velveteen blazer. I really can. I may just have brought it before I publish this post... There are others in Evie's store however, if like me, you see yourself sporting a cheeky hand painted face on your coat this winter. (Check out her super sweet tooth fairy pouches while you are there!)


Blog: Megan is the kind hearted blogger behind 'The Byron Life.' Journalist by day, Mama, crafter and simple living advocate always, Megan's blog is a delight and an inspiration. Her current series about North Coast Bloggers will have you settling in with a cuppa as you are introduced to some truly gifted, creative women.

Stitch. Read. Covet. Blog.


Stitch: Another rainy day and the beginning of Autumn have me thinking about woolens for Winter. I do like this cowl, both pattern and colour. I'm yet to knit a cowl...


 Read: Readers have long made wonderful subject matter for artists. A quick google image search is quite revealing. There is a romance about these images. I can't help but wonder if modern artists will document our current relationship to reading, using technology like laptops and e-readers instead of paper, as artists in the past have? And will they have any of the romance of those beautiful old paintings?
Covet: As a fan of both polaroids and Instagram these yet to be released cameras make me feel a bit wanty.


Blog: I've long been a follower of handmade romance and I love seeing Evie's wonderful and varied creations. From bearded men brooches to kitty cushions, circus dolls and hand drawn porcelain pins, Evie has a wonderful aesthetic all her own and creates items that will be cherished. Her photographs and illustrations are eye candy indeed. She has also recently completed a month of illustrations.
