Shop - Pretty things distract me!
I researched for months before I finally decided to take the plunge and have a go at making some 'hair clips' - within weeks I had orders coming in from friends and family and decided to give it a go - I met a friend who buys from me wholesale and it boosted my confidence levels so I decided to start a website:

Laylaba handmade ~ original ~ unique

A country stay at home mothers love for creation, texture, and colour has resulted in Laylaba. A small business that sells beautiful and affordable CARDS. Cards that are a gift in itself and can make someone smile before they even open the present. Cards handmade using unique fabric, paper, buttons and ribbon all sewn onto blank card and individually wrapped. Wholesale and retail.
For all available card designs email laylaba@live.com.au and a catalouge can be sent.

All of my jewellery pieces are one off designs, although I can create similar pieces by using the same colours. I endeavour to constantly create new and exciting work and seem to be forever buying buttons. I feel that there is something really special about a handmade item, in the world of the consumer a unique and one off piece is treasured and valued, as it is something rare and often hard to come by.

Jetta's Nest

Hello and welcome to Jetta's Nest, where you will find fun, bright clothes and other stuff for boys and girls and sometimes even some stuff for grown-ups too!
My name is Samantha and I live with two little boys and one big man. I need to keep my head and hands busy for my own sanity, and so I sew, knit, crochet, paint, draw and cook.

My inspiration comes from all of the beautiful places I've travelled to, (or dream of travelling!), and the amazing variety of natural wonders I've come across. Every breathtaking sight that nature presents brings new inspiration, and the colours and shapes of the wonders that I see allow new and beautiful pieces to form in my imagination.

Say HELLO to Boombi - the lastest unisex range for the little ones in your life.
A fusion of Graphic Art and Kiddy Pop Culture, Boombi is for contemporary parents who prefer to stay away from baby blue and baby pink.

Boombi has recently opened a long awaited online store at www.boombi.com.au.

I have been making things (I’ve been told) for much longer than I can even remember. Art is my passion and drawing, painting, printing, bookbinding, sculpture and working with textiles are what bring my life meaning. I grew up in a house with strangely bright colors on the walls and mystifying patterns in the Persian rugs on the floors. I have loved color and pattern ever since and they are themes that continue in my art.

Jewellery by Ange

From time to time we would like to share with you some wonderful talent from outside Kookie Kids. These creators are called 'Kookies'. Enjoy our latest Kookie - Jewellery by Ange.

Hi, thanks for visiting. My name is Angelene (Ange for short) and I am a bead and wire jewellery artist living and working in Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. I am absolutely addicted to making jewellery - so much in fact that the only reason I sell my jewellery is to make more jewellery!! Each piece is individually loved, and I hate parting with them, however, the idea that someone else will love my pieces helps me to put them in the shop :-)
