Just listed some new pieces in my etsy store & I'm happy with the pics, despite being my own model hehe =) Although I have what you might call 'signature' techniques in my flowers I always try to research different ways to improve my craft. It's such a thrill to discover a new way of doing something and it motivates me to be innovative in my work. Things are just getting bigger and better here at Olive Farm. Very exciting times!

Amore No.18 - Lou and Lee
One of the great things about being a designer is knowing that given enough time i pretty much can create my own hair accessories and rarely need to shop for any, unless it's absolutely gobsmacking fantastic that i simply can't resist! Lou and Lee is such a brand.
Their oh-so-darling baby headbands are too cute for words and i know if i ever have a daughter or a little niece i will be buying up a storm of these gorgeous designs. Have you ever seen anything so lovely? I also recommend you jump on their blog, it's a great read with a lot of wonderful stories of her lil mister =)

Food, flowers & love
I just loaded up these pics and thought i would share them with you =) Just a little tid bit into my life and my 3 favourite things - food, flowers & love!
The scrumptious breakie hubby cooked for me over the weekend.
No boring meals at our house!
Yummy carrot cake at C15 Espresso in Applecross.
Awesome coffee and deserts!
Reminiscing my own Yr 12 Ball, this gorgeous boutonniere was a delight to create! It was custom made with checkers being a requirement. When i get time i'll finally sit down and create some for my store.
This morning my bestie, Laura, moved to Newcastle to be with her boyfriend. As happy as i am for her and the adventure she's about to embark it didn't stop us from crying like two little school girls when it was time to say goodbye. I'm already making plans to visit her and i know we'll speak on the phone all the time however it won't be the same not seeing her almost every week for the last millions of years.
You're such a blessing to have in my life babes and I'll miss you greatly! I have every faith that you will do great things over east and just remember us little people when you're rich & famous =) Love ya!

Overtaken by blooms
I finally found my camera charger and was able to take some pics of the many handmade flowers taking over my studio at the moment. I'm creating as many as i can before i lose momentum which is always bound to happen. I've also made this gorgeous turquoise felt rose which will be a new addition to Olive Farm. I'm so excited.... times a ticking.

For you
It's 2.30am and i should be sleeping but instead i'm writing this post. I figured because i'm awake there must be some people out there who is also fighting insomnia. Since starting Olive Farm i have discovered that creativity mostly hits me at night when the world is quiet, tho i usually play music while i work, and because of that my sleeping habits are weird. I can't remember the last time i slept before 11pm.
So for all those burning the midnight oil i thought this might put a smile on your face.
I mean who doesn't like receiving flowers? even at 2.30am!

On your marks! Get Set! Gooooooo!
Tomorrow night my sis and I are attending a special formal dinner to celebrate the end of Ramadan. There will be over 100 people coming along making it a WONDERFUL opportunity to show off some of the Olive Farm collection. I already made a special piece for myself and considered making one for my sis if time permitted, well it didn't and when i went to tell her how busy my schedule has been of late she "convinced" me i was making a major mistake not putting something on her since she's been asked to be the official photographer for the night. Yiiiiikkkkeeesss! So with adrenalin pumping and mind eager to be creative i pushed out this peacock number which matches her outfit and now i'm kinda jealous & wanna have it for myself! hahaha
I'm actually really pleased with this piece and I'm considering making a similar one for the wedding range, except i'll make the bloom BIGGER =)
