Jacaranda Handmade

Jacaranda Handmade This business was born in 2010 from a passion for making handmade things for my two young daughters. Everything in this shop is handmade by me.

Visit my online shop: http://www.madeit.com.au/jacaranda_handmade I make clothing, toys and accessories for kids and ladies. I have a love of sewing, and love collecting fabrics, ribbons & buttons and sharing my creations with you.

As we come up to the first anniversary of my mother’s death, I am moved to do something to raise awareness. Something productive to do with the love I still have for her. Please don’t be afraid to talk to your doctor if something isn’t right 💖
September is Visit foundationforwomenscancer.org for information specific to gynecologic cancer symptoms and treatment, risk and prevention, clinical trials and survivor stories.

QLD school holidays well spent - healthy dose of Vitamin Sea, skating, and time spent with friends and family 💖

The only sewing I have done for ages... it’s been a long time since I had to sew ribbons and elastics on pointe shoes - the last time I did was for myself! But Miss Almost 13 has started pointe so I had to learn how all over again!

Another look at the T-shirt j made for the littlest JH girl’s pug party 🥳 🎉 not sure where her pug obsession came from, but I was happy to comply 🙊

The littlest JH girl is 10! We celebrated with a pug themed ice skating party. We love a party theme! I made her T-shirt and the big JH girl and I made her cake. Now we have 2 tweens in the house... send help 🤣

After New Years we spent 2 weeks in Northern NSW - Lennox Head, Yamba, and Byron Bay (Tallow Beach). What a stunning part of the world - a good dose of vitamin sea was good for us all

Where to start? We had a lovely Christmas. It seems like absolutely ages ago now. I was dreading my first Christmas without mum but I made a decision to focus on what I had and making the best memories with the girls.

2019 has been quite the year for me. So much love but also so much pain and loss. I’m looking forward to a fresh start in 2020. Still moving forward and a lot stronger after that all 2019 brought and took from me. Happy New Year to you all.

43. As my dad said, the birthday is inevitable, but it’s your choice whether to make it happy or not. So I got dolled up in my new frock (a surprise gift from ) and put on the stunning earrings that he made me for our wedding earlier this year. And we went out for a beautiful birthday dinner at our favourite . I have lost a lot this year, but my heart is still full ❤️

~life update~ I don’t quite know where to start. This year has brought some amazing moments, but has also brought some devastating lows. The worst of which is that I lost my mum last month to cancer. I am navigating my way through the grief. I am not sewing or creating at all at the moment. But I will again. Anyway I will share bits and pieces of life as they happen, and I hope you will stick around as this page changes and evolves. Jacarandas are still my very favourite trees, and they are spectacular in Brisbane at the moment 💜

You may not know this about me, but I am originally from Boston 🇺🇸 but have lived in Australia for over 20 years 🇦🇺. We are currently soaking up the sun and fun of the 4th of July with my family. The JH girls look like they could pass for American in this photo 😉

I’m about 2 weeks late, but this gorgeous creature turned 12 this month, and is an incredible 164cm tall. I sure do grow them tall!

Things have been a bit quiet over here on the creative front, but I enjoyed making these niffler T-shirt’s for the littlest JH girl’s 9th birthday party

07/01/2019

We did it! David Lenneberg Design Jeweller And I tied the knot last weekend. Just a quick shout out to the people who helped make our day so special. Stunning flowers by borrowed, gorgeous cake by Cakes by Simone, and our beautiful celebrant . Our venue E'cco Bistro was just divine. Hair by Kate White and makeup by Blissful Beauty Co. Cannot recommend them all highly enough! @ E'cco Bistro

Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas. Hope you were surrounded by love and joy ❤

Well this is the only Christmas sewing that I managed this year. I moved house 3 weeks ago, and am getting married in 2 weeks. Plus we had all of the end-of-year craziness with the JH girls. Anyway, it's a Santa sack for a dear friend who just welcomed a new baby. Hope all of your Christmas prep is going well 🎄

How is this year almost over? It is flying by. I never shared this video with you, but this is Miss Almost 8 doing a pretty great job sewing a handbag over the last school holidays. She has gained so much confidence this year in so many areas of life. It's wonderful to see 💗 #handmade #handbag #schoolholidays #teachingkidstosew

Happy 4th 🎆 we are currently enjoying time with friends and family in the US.

Loving my Christmas tree! Handmade ornaments from my Grandma, nutcrackers and a little retro surprise! #christmasiscoming #christmas2016 #christmastree #80schild #nutcracker #felt #rainbowbrite

Breathe. And trust. And ignore my perfectionist tendencies. She is learning. And loving it 💜 #handmade #handbag #JHgirls #jhgirlslearntosew #teachingkidstosew
