Thank you so much to everyone who entered the giveaway, we both had a lot of fun reading all the plans, schemes, hopes and dreams (and it gave me plenty of inspiration for new ones of my own too!).
The winner is the lovely Olivia !
For those of us who aren’t quite winners (but absolutely not losers) Emma’s shop is still open for Christmas Stocking filling – yay!
Emma Makes is a clever maker of witty stationery and beautiful things based in Featherston, right here in NZ.
Her super, statement, pencils are the perfect stocking filler this Christmas, and make a great gift paired with a handmade Emma Makes notebook (though, I confess only half of the pencils I bought last Christmas made it to other people, I had a ‘one for you, one for me’ policy’).
Emma has been kind enough to offer a prize pack consisting of 1 x Hopes & Dreams notebook, 1 x Plans & Schemes and 6 x pencils (winners choice!). There are 19 different pencil designs to take your pick from with a full list here (all standard size, HB pencils but far more fun). My personal favourites have to be ‘Stop collaborate and listen’, ‘Make it Work’ and ‘Pencil me in’.
Each notebook is slightly smaller than A5 size, which folds out to A4. 60 plain white pages bound in a manila card cover.
I don’t think this giveaway could come at a better time, as Christmas is the perfect time to sit and scheme for the year ahead.
Entries are open until the 13th December 2011, 8pm NZ time and this giveaway is open to anyone (even if you reside in the North Pole).
I can’t wait to hear all your hopes, dreams, plans or schemes.
There is something about a good hat that instantly lends finish and personality to an outfit, no matter what it might be. I have a gorgeous friend who often wears hats, looks amazing and every time I leave her and her hat-wearing presence I’m left thinking about taking the plunge and becoming a hatter myself. And so, this summer, I will.
The classic straw Panama is almost fool-proof and so I’m declaring it my gateway hat. Panama-na!

I rarely dwell on work I’ve done, I prefer to look forward and come up with new ideas. It’s interesting to look back once in a while and remember drawings I’ve done. I never really show any original rough sketches because adding colour is really my thing. Anyway, here’s some sketches from the archives.
