Featured Item ~ Puzzle Piece Pendant

I had a lot of fun trying to make this piece, I think it turned out quite well too! I was inspired to make this piece through a friend of mine as both our children have Autism. The rainbow puzzle piece I created is a mix of the Autism Logo (the puzzle piece) and the awareness ribbon (lots of different coloured puzzle pieces).

I hand drew the puzzle piece and then cut the piece out before sealing it in resin. The finished pendant measures 5.6 x 6cms and is featured on a silver-tone chain measuring 47.5cms.

This stunning pendant can be purchased from our online store; www.hand-made.com.au/NeckArt

Supporting Australian Handmade

I started the Australian Handmade Sharing Facebook Page in December 2012. At the time I was aware of quite a lot of like pages, wahm sharing pages, etc all over facebook. However I was unable to find one that offered completely FREE services for Australian handmade hobbies & businesses.

In addition; myself along with a few volunteer admins may share your products photos and post like ladders, etc. For the best chance of having your page shared I suggest interacting with our page frequently. Those who share our posts with fans/friends (publicly) will get priority when the admins share. As the page grows so will the chances of getting your products seen by potential customers.

The Australian Handmade Sharing blog is set up for any handmade business to run competitions (as there are very tight rules on facebook!), do guest blog posts (telling us more about you, your hobby/business and your products) and to further our fan base.

Advertising spots will be rotated frequently, call outs will go over our facebook page when a position becomes available. To increase your chances of being provided with a FREE advertising space I suggest interacting with our page and sharing where possible :)

World Prematurity Day 2012

This is something very close to my heart; both of my children were born prematurely. My eldest was born at 30 weeks after PPROM (Premature Pre-Labour Rupture of Membranes) at just 28 weeks in to my pregnancy. My second little boy was born at 34 weeks due to Pre-Term Labour (Spontaneous). Both boys have some ongoing issues after their early arrivals, but are relatively healthy considering.

Please do your bit and support the premmies!

Taken from The National Premmie Foundation

Saturday 17^th November 2012 is World Prematurity Day and the National Premmie Foundation is once again participating in the international campaign to raise awareness of preterm birth. Each year Worldwide 13 million babies are born too soon. Approximately 23,000 of these babies are born in Australia.  We want everyone to honour the 15 million babies who struggled to survive this year and over 1 million babies who sadly lost their fight for life.

The rate of preterm birth is increasing and yet the general public knows little about the prevention of preterm birth and the problems and risks involved in the development of a preterm infant.  Preterm or premature birth, birth before 37 weeks gestation is the second leading cause of newborn death globally. Babies who survive an early birth often face the increased risk of health challenges such as breathing problems, cerebral palsy, intellectual disabilities and many other hurdles. For many families, preterm birth brings with it neonatal or infant loss. So we want you to join the campaign to raise awareness of the issues these vulnerable newborns and their families face.

The National Premmie Foundation is a founding member of the World Prematurity Network.  This means we have joined together with March of Dimes (USA), The European Foundation for the Care of Newborn Infants (Europe), LittleBigSoul (Africa), Bliss (UK) and Home for Premature Infants (China) to raise awareness and change the lives of babies born too soon everywhere. 

How you can get involved

We are asking people throughout Australia to get behind World Prematurity Day.

In 2011, the Empire State Building was lit up purple and it will do so again in 2012 with other buildings from around the world.  This year in Australia, the Questacon building in Canberra, is lighting up purple.  You can be a part of our “light it up purple” campaign in Australia by purchasing a National Premmie Foundation candle and lighting it at 7pm in your own home.

 For more information, please visit the National Premmie Foundation
