Yep. It’s getting a lot of press and rightly so. It’s so gorgeous, such a lovely space filled to the brim with great things. Including Lucy’s sweet and smiling staff all polkadot-ty and cute.
Having work included in the Open House has been cool. Although entering the kids space was a little nerve wracking as I didn’t quite know what to expect. Thankfully I saw a whole bunch of pretty hanging from the ceiling. Phew.
Sometimes I see the things I make and all I can think is ‘work’. This time was different though. I felt happy and relieved that it all seemed to be working well and people seemed to like it. Although being in a room that included Penelope Durston’s vintage blanket quilts and Castle’s fluro spot bedding could only mean good things.
Well worth a visit….

Finally a look at the hot balloons I’ve been working on. I am very proud to be debuting them at the Craft Hatch market this Saturday. I’m taking quite a few with me in different colors, fabrics and sizes. They sure have come a long way from these ones. Dodgy football squishy oval things that they were.
As always I am equal parts excited and nervous about putting my self and my work out there. Fortunately for me, being dark skinned conceals the beetroot red of embarrassment I always feel when I have new things to show. I can blush profusely and no-one will ever know! Ha!
In other news, the seriously lovely Kim from the Craft Victoria blog interviewed me last week and the whole thing plus pics of how/where I work is on the blog here. I am also stocked at Counter now too. I feel very honored to be associated with this supportive and esteemed establishment. They do so much good for contemporary craft and Victorian artists.
And in other other news, Andy is in South Africa for work (bet you didn’t see that one coming eh?!) and with the market, orders, work at the shop and the demands of single parent-ness kicking in (he left last Saturday and won’t be home for 10 days) I’m feeling the pressure of life so it’s head down, bottom up, sink or swim etc etc…hopefully see you next week x

I’m baaaaa-accck!

February 16, 2011

in Events, Family, Mates, News

If you’re a regular reader (and really, why wouldn’t you be) you might have noticed that the blog has been all crazy-town up in your face. Fingers crossed it is now fixed and a big thank you for being so patient with all the drama. Honestly it has been a technological nightmare. Posts appearing, disappearing then appearing. Not to mention behind the scenes, emails have been arriving in my inbox sporadically, or the same ones are downloaded twenty times whilst important ones have gone missing.

in Events

Thank you all SO very much for your lovely comments, beautiful and kind comments, comments that made me feel like you were all my mates and that you should all come round and have a glass of wine and a chat and….well, you get the picture. It was so hard only being able to draw out one winner as I really want to give you all a little something. Sigh…I’ll just have to have more giveaways next year.  In the meantime Kristi, luck was on your side this time! Hooray for you!

Counting my blessings and a thankyou GIVEAWAY!!

December 14, 2010

One minute you’re sailing along, laughing at your basket wearing daughter and the next thing you know something terrible happens and you’re wanting to curl up in said basket. Andy was sick a couple of weeks ago. Like really sick. Like emergency hospital, tears and bedside vigils. The scary part is over and full diagnosis [...]

In the afternoon we headed into the city for the last day of Bike Fest. So cool. Lots of bike related goodness, Craft Hatch had a market on, a bar, music [...]

Yeehaw!

Last Friday evening was Otto’s school fete. It was country themed and so much fun. Scarecrows and pony rides, toffee apples and preserves, second hand books, sausages in bread, cowboy costume competitions and of course a craft stall that I was happy to help with for the second year in a row, because obviously I [...]

Craft Hatch

November 4, 2010

Craft Hatch was a couple of Saturdays ago now (I know, I know bad blogger, bad) and it was ace. Such a contrast from the last market I participated in! Not that I didn’t enjoy the Finders Keepers, I really did. They were just totally different experiences. Craft Hatch was organised by the very extremely [...]
