This week Pete is home on Staycation (a concept that I love, and am starting to see pop up elsewhere on blogland), and I've taken the opportunity to chill out a little myself. I read a book for the first time in ages, and actually did some pattern designing!
I had told myself "no I can't do a wattle design because Tim Growcott has already done one", but it's funny how when you do something in your own style it turns out completely different!

I loooove how this print turned out and I hope you do too. I think it will be the first design I print in the new studio.

I have that Tim Growcott one in the raspberry, on a mattt backpack. It's fab. Yours is completely different! I love it.
I'm getting very excited about Ink and Spindle and what you girls come up with!
Oh it's just beautiful Lara!! I absolutely love it and can't wait to see it all printed up...
I've got two wattle trees in my backyard and have been really inspired by the beautiful shapes too, I just haven't had a chance to turn it into a pattern yet!
And I wanted to let you know when I was shopping in Freo on the weekend I spotted a lady with a bag made from your ginkgo fabric (I think it might have been a mattt bag)... Anyway it looked really awesome!!
Oh my, so beautiful Rara. Good job!
I LOVE LOVE LOOOOOOOVE this! You know what, I'd ADORE this in a wallpaper.
a purple design hehe. I love the blue with the design Lara, suburb! Can't wait to see it printed up.
Your new pattern is absolutely stunning Lara! And you're right...it certainly has your beautiful touch :)
This is a wonderful print Lara, just beautiful.
I have been wishing for the last few years for some Aussie inspired prints that were not kitch - not a kangeroo in site, but very aussie.
I got the current issue of Homespun in the mail today and enjoyed seeing another familiar blogger inside.
fantastic new fabric!! and staycations are my fave type of vacations too.
PS. I hear that you like the show Dexter, check out my blog for something you may like.
PPS. I dig that purple print!!
Wow!!! Great patterns! I love them, and the colours too...
I adore this print. The colours are lovely too.
this is great, Lara. the fine detail is lovely!
Gorgeous design!
And I want to congratulate you on the article in Homespun! I was just in the supermarket looking for a craft magazine and the bird on the front of homespun caught my eye and I recognised the fabric, thinking 'i want to make that' I bought the magazine and have just read the article. Of course now I want to go home from work and make birdies!! (they're cuter than the ones I've been making of late!)
hey lara, your ink and spindle project sounds exciting. what a big undertaking!! please keep me posted, as to when you start printing...
these are lovely, Lara. Well done!
Lara - I love this design! Now you've got me rethinking my choices! Looking forward to your studio opening and doing some fabric coming my way soon!
That is such a beautiful design, I love it both the colours - they're lovely!
Love it, especially the one in purple. Gorgeous!
Thta's a beautiful print. They look like wattle birds (perhaps more placid than the ones in our garden, which like to fly at your head at the moment!)
OMG I love this soooooo much!!! Can't wait till it's available to buy! All I hear at home right now is our resident Wattle Bird squarking as my cat likes to tease it. (There must be a nest.)
