Busterandcoco

I hope everyone has had a happy Easter with rest and relaxation. It’s been a quiet one in the Buster and Coco house.

We stayed close to home, a visit from my brother, a meal out at the local, I made rocky road (yum), Mr G spent some time in the studio painting and I crocheted and scrapbooked. Very quiet for us.

Tomorrow however a sewing day is planned after a morning walk. I have a special gift to sew.

Sold out yet again!! Happy that so many people love this sage green fabric and rope baskets. Looks like I know what I’ll be doing this weekend 😘

What a lovely article by the Courthouse Camperdown, such a special place to find an awesome gift. Including Buster and Coco rope bowls!! 😘

🌟 **Maker Monday | Meet Carol** 🌟

🎨✨ Carol is the creative heart behind **Buster and Coco**, and her journey is stitched together with colour, passion and a whole lot of love.

🧶 **A lifelong maker**
From knitting and crochet to quilting and cross stitch, Carol has always loved craft. Her rope-sewing journey began (quite literally!) after a CWA class making bowls from garden plants 🌿. Loving the process but not the mess, she discovered rope and the sewing machine, and in 2017, **Buster and Coco** was born 💛.

❤️ **Made with heart**
Carol loves creating pieces for loved ones, believing every handmade gift carries a piece of her heart. Seeing her rope goodies now finding homes all around Australia leaves her feeling truly humbled 🏡✨.

🌈 **Inspired by colour**
Colour is Carol’s muse! Fabric, yarn, thread or dye, if it feels right, she runs with it. Watching colours come to life in her creations is what sparks her joy 😊.

🏛️ **Why the Courthouse?**
Carol loves that the Courthouse champions local talent and provides such a special space for makers to share their work. A big shout-out to the amazing volunteers who make it all happen 🙌.

🌾 **Community love**
Now based in Mortlake, Carol moved from Geelong 21 years ago. While the transition to small-town life was challenging at first, she now wouldn’t change it for the world, proof she was always a country girl at heart 💚.

✨ Pop in and discover Carol’s beautiful rope creations at the Courthouse!

Some weekend sewing which came to a halt this arvo when I spent a lovely afternoon tea celebrating a friend’s 60th birthday. So good filling my cup with good company and chat with some terrific women.

Sewing to resume tomorrow. 😘

Here we go. New year, turn the calendar, new thoughts. Where will the year take us? Who knows. But hope you’re along for the ride with me.
