At Happy as Larry we’re dream weavers, child delighters and imagination merchants. Our goal is simple - to make products that are beautiful, magical and made to last.
Sew Unexpected
I just love these felt creations by artist Blythe Church. So creative it inspires me to go and make something unexpected.
Felt Ball Mats back in stock
I love it when a truck pulls up in my driveway. I am always greeted with such yummy suprises. Yesterday was no different with special delivery of my Blueberry Cool Felt Ball Mats. They look so beautiful I am keeping one for my sons new room. How many mats in one house is too many? Never can have enough colour I say!
Happy as Larry in the Media
I was so pleased by this article in The West Australian on Happy as Larry. Free Publicity never goes astray.
Take me to The West........
Christmas Feast
Dress up your table with one or two of these felt ball mats. Use as a placemat, trivet or hot pot mat. Made from 100% wool they measure 20 x 20cm.
These are my favourite item of my store, Happy as Larry Designs.
Perfect for the person who has everything.
Perth Upmarket
Off to Market again this Sunday the 28th Nov. Happy as Larry will be in the Hacket Hall and I have been so busy getting ready for the biggest market of the year. I have a quite a few items that people have pre -ordered and picking up so looking forward to meeting my buyers face to face. I love this about markets, seeing peoples reactions to your wares. When you're locked away in your studio creating there is no one to bounce off , you could be creating the most wonderful piece of art in your own eyes but no one else agrees with you.
Perth Upmarket this Sunday 28th Nov , UWA Hackett Hall and Winthrop Halls, Western Australia. Plenty to see and do.
Buy handmade this Christmas.
See you there!

Friday Felt Finds
Every Friday I will search the world to find you some delicious felty finds. My first Friday Felt Find is by Italian Designer Paolo Lenti. Away from my usual abundance of colours the subtle grays can be a welcome relief. I am building a new house at the moment and these would be prefect with my grey colour palette.
Felt Ball Garland Secrets Out
Want to make your own Felt Ball Garlands? Larry will show you how.
Try using Red and Green for a Christmas garland. How gorgeous would it look draped across a mantelpiece or around your tree. Make garland now.
Sewing my little heart out.
Hope that doesnt hurt !
DIY is a quiet meditation. The mundane – stringing, threading, stitching, looping, pulling – is given divine reverence. It’s an offering from your infinite spirit to the finite world.(Soutie Girl)
New nursery mobiles created now in store.
New Market

Mathilda Market
We’re so excited! THIS Sunday 22nd August, we will be showcasing our wares at Mathilda's Market. This is a fabulous niche market that offers unique, stylish and affordable baby & kids goods that are lovingly handmade or manufactured. The retailers are handpicked to ensure an exciting product range. It's a kid's shopping heaven. Better yet, most of the retailers do not have a shop front, so you know you'll find something special, not available anywhere else. Please come and see our stand at Mathilda’s Market from 9am to 1pm at the Hawthorn Town Hall, 360 Burwood Rd, Hawthorn. Entry and parking is free
I have packed two suitcases full! Hopefully I dont have to take it home with me again as I hope to do a little Melbourne shopping!

Mathilda Markets in Cottesloe
Thanks to everyone that supported handmade at the Mathildas Markets last Sunday. It was the official launch of Happy as Larry Designs.We were cramped for space and I was run off my feet all day selling out of so many products. My highchair covers and baby mobiles were a hit! Should have made more.
Hopefully next market will be at a different venue. ....so many unhappy mums with prams couldnt even get a look in!
