Women's Business - Designed By Brooke Sutton
This is my interpretation of “Walumarra”, which means “Women's Business” in the Kalkadoon language. For thousands and 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 gather berries and wood from the conker berry bush, using the berries as food or drying them out to eat at a later time, and they would burn the wood for a mosquito repellent. They would collect wild lemongrass and boil it to make a lemon tea for sore throats and they would ground the pea bush seeds to use as a 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, with their digging sticks on one side of them and their coolamons on the other side. They firstly collect the bush tucker and then prepare the food for medicines and food around the campfires. When the women get up off the ground, the U shape left in the sand is where they were sitting.

With convenience in mind, our weighted blankets are machine washable, allowing for easy maintenance and long-lasting freshness. There's no need to worry about 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 has the most calming effect and is safe for use. If you are between sizes or want to allow 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 for someone under the age of 4 years without supervision.
Please allow approximately 3 - 8 weeks for the Sewing of the Blanket and Delivery.
