HELLO APRIL!!

I may be entering the year a little later than planned, but I am doing it with purpose.

I needed a workspace that could give me the room to take Carol Makes in Melbourne handmade lines to a bigger and better place… cue handy husband entering the chat.

Brad built this beauty using two IKEA Kallax units, a solid wood base, castors for easy moving, and finished it with the most stunning acacia timber top.

What started as flat packs is now a custom, moveable cutting and creating station and I am completely obsessed.

If you could design your dream creative space, or have already what is one thing you would have to include?

🤍 Meet the 2026 Colour of the Year from : Cloud Dancer Pantone 11 4201

A soft and balanced white that brings calm clarity and a sense of gentle quiet to everything it touches. At Carol Makes in Melbourne we will be releasing a select number of handmade products that feature Cloud Dancer and celebrate its simple natural beauty.

Pantone has always spoken to me. Colour organisation has been part of my personality for as long as I can remember. I used to line up my Derwents in perfect colour order sort my beads into colour families and even arrange my wardrobe by colour. It is not only aesthetically pleasing but also feels grounding.

If you could make something in Cloud Dancer what would it be?

I keep picking up this festive robin cushion kit and thinking… maybe it is time I try appliqué.

This lovely kit is designed by Alice Caroline and comes with everything you need to make the cushion cover in the first picture (byo cushion!).

The Liberty Tana Lawn makes it feel really special.

🪡 If you have any applique tips, please send them my way.

And if you want a fun Christmas project for yourself, this one is too pretty to miss.
