About Me

Welcome to whimsy and wood!

My name is Margaret, I am a wife and mother to two little girls. For the past five years I have taken great delight in creating special spaces and nurturing nooks in our home for our little family, and with whimsy and wood, I want to share with you the cosy comforts I so love to make.

whimsy and wood brings together two of my passions ~ combining the old with the new.... beautiful vintage wooden furniture paired with new, modern yet whimsical coverings, each lovingly created by me;


"Have nothing in your house that you do not know to be useful, or believe to be beautiful." - William Morris


Each item I make is unique and handmade by me in my little home studio in Sydney, Australia.

I am slowly cutting up every single piece of fabric I own, into 3 1/2 inch-squares or smaller. These are to become beautiful new whimsy and wood pieces that can be purchased in my shop.

My shop is currently stocked with Decorative Chair Pads, Patchwork Foam Chair Pads, Patchwork Hoop Art and Sewing-inspired Postcards. Please do stop by, and take a look!
