Welcome to Runawaywombat

Hi and Welcome. I hope you enjoy my blog and hope we can share my love of cooking and making craft items which I have made for many years. Juggling motherhood and work has been fun and a learning experience. Runawaywombat is an Etsy site where I create classic items which are vibrant, practical and fun. Many items from Aprons, Tea Towels, make up and storage bags. You can see my items by going to www.etsy.com/shop/runawaywombat. On the food front I made Lemon slice and honestly I can't make enough of it as it run off the plate with my family.

NEW vintage apron




Hi everyone,
Just thought I would show you my latest, just finished vintage inspired apron. 50s style. I love bright red lipstick, it reminds me of the color of lipstick my mum used to wear. Here are the pics and background story for you to see and read.

Background Story
The old vintage style of aprons brings back memories of a time before high tech gadgets and where a simple variety show was fun for all the family. A simple life yet with a touch of class and style. This apron in particular reminds me of the type of clothes my mother used to wear, the flowing feel and this feminine fashion gave such a sassy, chic and classic look to the women of that time

Creating brush rolls - Love it.






Hi everyone,
Been busy creating more items and lately I've been making more brush rolls. Love the whole construction of these items. They are all me. Practical, if you are in to makeup at all, they are very useful, fun, because I make many color combinations and some are even more pretty with a bow.

Here are some pics for you to see. Hope you like them.
