I’ve had a bit of girl/creative crush on Tamara Maynes for a couple of years now, my sister Georgie use to work for her in Bowral one day a week. I have always loved Tamara’s ethos on handmade and using ‘old-world’ skills – which we also shared with our business, Littlelki Boutique. It seems the past few years, the trend for ‘handmade’ and ‘bespoke’ crafts are growing and growing – so modern craft lovers rejoice!
Anyway, my heart melted this morning when I (quickly) opened up my daily news for The Design Files and saw this DIY project and interview – combining two of my crushes – neon and kraft. As soon as I saw it I thought – a) I must make this, and b) had to stop work and post this straight away. Full credit to Lucy – please pop over and read her full interview here.
Tamara’s projects are featured over on her Blog, her store Six Week Boutique, Pinterest Tumblr and Facebook and Megan Morton’s The School (which I’my dying to go to!)
One of my favourite TM DIY projects, from her store, which I pinned
Don’t you think that adding something handmade or unique to your interiors, is the best way to personlise the space? I think it really adds warmth and charm and cannot wait to try out the ‘quilt lights’ this weekend.

Couldn’t agree more about the inclusion of handmade in our personal space! And I just came across this blog from Megan Aumann (from Crafting an MBA) on the value of special thngs in our lives ~ http://stuffdoesmatter.com/blog/
