I've been giving a lot of thought to what to call my Etsy shop, and a few people have reinforced the notion that it should be Kirin something, to match this blog. Kirinmade? Kirincraft? Kirin Small Goods?
Oh I do have some news - I farewelled my brother and his wife today as they're off to live in the US for the next few years. He landed himself a job at Microsoft, whilst my other brother is already over there working for Google. (So i'm nerdy and cool by association).
Anwyay they got me a webcam and a microphone as an early birthday present so we can Skype together, which is pretty cool :)
Some more patterns:

The trees are very pretty.
Hey BTW. How'd you go with the print comp..?
Hey Tote, thanks for asking :)
I think the competition went pretty well. Some of my total scores are over 300 which I think constitutes a "high score".
This means I'm now eligible to be chosen by the Naked & Angry people to have one of my patterns made into something... if it suits whatever they plan to make next. So, fingers crossed!
Congrats on N & A. That's great!
I love these new patterns...especially that wood grain!
Your patterns have to become fabric. They just have to:)
I really love these pattern designs!
so much loving the woodprint pattern, will be daydreaming about it all day long:)
I concur with those who suggest you keep kirin (and those who love your patterns, too...all lovely). I like Kirin Craft, or Kirin Goods, or Kirin...something. It goes well with kirin notebook, and it keeps people from thinking your name is a strange misspelling of "karen."
kirin gifts? kirin novelties (er, that might be mistaken for some sort of japanese giraffe sex-shop...) Kirin Shop ?
good luck!
Thanks soooooo much for all the positive feedback guys!
Jennifer: thanks for the suggestions and support for the 'Kirin' bit.
I had an idea the other day:
'Kirin & Co.'
Sounds cute yet a bit oldworldy and trustworthy, and allows me to sell my friends' work too :)
hey fantastic. I've just discovered your blog. You're very creative!
And I'm with Kathleen, you must 'create' some fabric out of your work...
I just came across your blog for the first time today and wanted to let you know that I'm really enjoying your desings. I look forward to seeing future posts. Good luck with the etsy shop.
Hi Lara - was pointed to your blog from Creature Comforts. Love your patterns - they'd definitely look great on fabric! Good to find another crafty Melbournian too :-)
These patterns are so wonderful... g
