Snuggle up!
If you’ve had your fill of hot cross buns, how about a hot snuggly bunny instead?

Still catching the rays
It may be Autumn but, by golly, I’m still in need of my sunhat.
Looking forward to the long weekend
With Easter on our minds, all sorts of things around here have been reminding us of the delights of the weekend to come…
Easter unwrapped
Beautiful, original, handmade and local. If, like me, you’re starting to think you’d like an Easter that’s more about celebration than scoffing (not that I’m saying a bit of chocolate doesn’t have its place, mind you) and more about handmade beauty than mass-produced glitz, you might want to take a look at what we’ve found in the Felt Easter egg hunt…
Extra Curricular issue 11 – Starting over…
Heads-up creative folk, because Extra Curricular issue eleven is on the horizon!
A partygoer’s paper paradise
We all know that when it comes to tracking down the right gift, Felt is fabulous. But what about the all-important card and the gorgeous wrapping paper? Well, we’ve got that covered too.
Autumn on my mind
While the hot, dry weather continues for many of us around New Zealand, there’s also been a chill in the air these last few mornings – signaling that Autumn is on its way.

Fit to print
“The act of printing has always seemed to me a miracle, just such a miracle as the growing up of a tiny seed of grain to an ear – an everyday miracle, even the greater because it happens everyday. One drawing is sown on the stone or the etching plate, and a harvest is reaped from it.” – From Van Gogh’s letters.
