Womens Business - Designed By Brooke Sutton
This is my interpretation of “Walumarra,” which means in the Kalkadoon language “Women's Business.” For thousands of years, while the men were out hunting large game, the women, too, were out hunting and gathering bush foods and medicines. They would use their digging sticks to dig for bush yams, honey ants, and witchetty grubs.
They would collect plums and bark from the wild plum bush, using the plums as food and the bark to treat skin ailments. They would collect berries and wood from the conker berry bush, using the berries as food or drying them out to eat later. They would burn the wood for a mosquito repellent.
They would collect wild lemongrass and boil it to make lemon tea for sore throats, and they would ground the seeds of the pea bush to use as flour. They would collect nuts from the sandalwood tree and roast them slowly to eat like peanuts, and they would collect blossoms from the hakea tree and immerse them in water for a sweet-tasting drink.
In my paintings, the women sit on their bottoms with their feet underneath them, their digging sticks on one side, and their coolamons on the other. They first collect the bush tucker and then prepare the food for medicines and food around the campfires. When the women get up off the ground, they sit in the U shape left in the sand.
Introducing our unique, made-to-order Weighted Blankets, designed to provide you with the utmost comfort and relaxation. Crafted with 100% cotton, these blankets are carefully woven to ensure a luxurious feel against your skin.
With convenience in mind, our weighted blankets are machine washable, allowing for easy maintenance and long-lasting freshness. There is no need to worry about any hassle when cleaning your blanket; toss it in the washing machine and enjoy the convenience of a clean, cozy blanket every time.
Our weighted blankets are made using food-grade poly pellets, a testament to our commitment to safety and comfort. These pellets are carefully and safely incorporated within the blanket to provide even pressure distribution, promoting a calm and soothing sensation. Our blankets' weighted nature helps mimic the feeling of a comforting hug, relieving stress and anxiety and promoting restful sleep.

Occupational Therapists recommend that a weighted blanket be 10% of the user’s body weight. This gives the best calming effect and is safe to use. If you are “in-between” weights or want to give a child room for growth, please choose the next size up.
The more oversized blankets require a heavier weight to give the same calming Deep Pressure Touch effect as the weight is spread over a wider area.
The maximum weight for a blanket is 8 kg. Weighted blankets should NOT be used by someone under the age of 4 without supervision.
Weighted blankets should NOT be used for someone under the age of 4.
