Exciting news friends! I have a new stockist! Yay!!!
You can now find House of Nicnax owls and woodland friends as part of the Co-Op Designs shop (located within MANY6160 Fremantle)
This is their opening weekend so to celebrate they are having a 10-40% off everything sale!
I was in first thing this morning to set up – and I must say – I LOVE the look they have gone with! I love all the wood displays (all handmade by one of the girls dads) and there was already some really quirky and unique handmade items just waiting to find their new homes!
So if your heading to Freo anytime soon – pop in and see the girls and check out all the amazing handmade goodies that Co-op Designs has to offer!

So things have been a little crazy around here recently, especially seeing as Mothers Day creeping up on us rather quickly!
And what do I do when things get crazy?? Well the answer is simple – I add to the crazi-ness by joining in my first Facebook Showcase!
So I joined a lovely group of ladies from the Collective Artisans. And I made a beautiful pink owl for the Sugar And Spice Showcase.
The showcase opened this morning – and it has sold already! I’m so excited!
I definitely recommend you pop over and have a little look at what else is on offer – as there is some amazing handmade items there. And tomorrow morning their second showcase will open. That one is themed – Frogs and Snails and Puppy Dog Tails!
I didn’t enter into the second one as I wasn’t sure how I’d go. Now I wish I did!
Thanks for stopping by!

Here’s where you will find me this Sunday! At the Perth Makers Market in Applecross! This is a new market that only just launched back in February.
This month I will be joined by over 90 other amazing handmade stalls.
It will also be the final day for the City of Melville Sculpture Walk. I’m looking forward to taking 5 minutes out to have a wander! Hope to see you there!

.Hi lovelies!
I hope you are all having a wonderful Easter break, however you may celebrate!
You may remember me talking previously in other posts about having an Easter tree. This year – it turned out a little different as Miss 4 took over the decorating. She wanted to have a little Easter corner on the TV Cabinet, so this is her creation. She painted the little ceramic bunny, and used some of our mini Christmas trees to hang the eggs on.
Good Friday was our annual family trip to the zoo. The year was extra special as the zoo had Dinosaurs!
Yesterday (Easter Saturday) we did the family thing – visiting my parents house, having BBQ lunch and eating wayyyy to much!
As it was my nieces first Easter – I made her a little bunny!
Easter Sunday started at 6.45am. Not too bad really – compared to previous years! The Easter bunny had to hide the eggs inside this time – as it was a little wet out!
We then spent the rest of the day relaxing!
Tomorrows plan is movies in the morning with the kids, visiting a few friends, and then back home to chill!
How’s your Easter been? Hope your having a good one!
Happy Easter!

Calling all people of Perth (Australia)!!!
You may or may not have read recently that I am going to be attending a new market that is starting up in Perth on February 7th. It’s called the Perth Makers Market and features over 70 local handmade crafters.
As the launch of a new market is always special, Erin, the co-ordinator, has put together an a-maz-ing competition! The prize is valued at over $450!! (and includes one of my owls!!)
The prizes!
So if your in Perth (you must be able to collect your prize on the day) head over to the Perth Makers Market Facebook page and enter the comp! AND if your on Instagram, head over to their Insta page, as there is another comp running through that too!
And even if you don’t win, (which I have my fingers crossed that you do win) come visit me and the other awesome stall holders on the day. It’ll be a great day, and you can get your hands on some really unique pieces!
Thanks for stopping by…and good luck!

With less than a month to go until Valentines Day, I been busy making some ‘Love” themed owls!
These three are available to purchase at the E-Shed Market in Fremantle (at Glow Wiks Candle Store) and I also have some available in my Etsy Shop.
And if your thinking about getting stuck into some Valentines Crafts, be sure to pop back over the next few weeks, as I’m planning to share some lovely love crafts!
Thanks for stopping by!

Aussie, Aussie, Aussie! Oi, Oi, Oi!!!!!
Australia Day is a day we should be proud of our wonderful country, and all the amazing things that this country is made of.
Now this may sound terrible – but you know what I hate? I hate all the cheapy-made-overseas-tacky-Aussie-stuff.
Sure it’s fun (and cheap) but I’ve just had a quick look on Etsy, and found some handmade Australian Aussie Day awesomeness (and it’s still fun!) And, the best bit about supporting handmade – is that you won’t be wearing / decorating / eating the same as everyone else!
So if your heading out to celebrate our awesome country – please consider buying from Aussie makers!
Here’s my picks to share with you for this Australia Day’s edition of Handmade Love!
Owl doorstop – by House of Nicnax (that’s me!)
Edible cake toppers – by Zahari by Dina
Party Invites – by Sassaby Parties
Kids Button-Up Shirt – by Miss Hanna Designs
Bandana Bib – by Sleepy Hedgehog 4 Baby
Hair Bow – By Pixie Bluebell Designs
Bunting – by The Bunting Shoppe
Shoe Bows – by Bouquet By Rosa Loren
I hope these great products have inspired you to support our great makers!
If you have been busy making Australia Day items – please leave me a link in the comments!

Hi! How’s your weekend going? Mine has been busy, busy as today was my last market for the year….
All week I have been sewing like a crazy lady in preparation – and it paid off as I sold out!! Yay!!! (Big thanks to all of you who came by and saw me!)
I was at UWA (University of WA) for the Perth Upmarket today.
This is honestly one of my most favourite markets! It is full of so many amazing handmade goodies. I’m a little glad I was so busy – as I may have spent wayyyyy to much if I had an opportunity to shop! I did, however enjoy some delicious salted caramel fudge from Golden Whisk!
So what am I going to do for the rest of the year now – I hear you ask? Well this week I will be adding some more doorstops to my Etsy Store as well as starting work on a whole heap of handmade Chrissy gifts!
So stay tuned to see my creations!
Thanks for stopping by!
And Happy Crafting!
