bye bye floating...

With ink & spindle on it's way, I decided to do one last run of floating...yes...the last run ever! Once we start printing at ink & spindle I want to start with a clean slate...it's time for something new :)

I got a small quantity printed in three beautiful colours. The first is a deep red on cream, the second a sand on cream and the third a black on cream. I'm planning to use this creamy base cloth more in the future, it's a light weight cotton/linen and it's just beautiful to sew with.

The shop has been stocked with a small quantity of each colour for the time being...if you'd like a different quantity, please contact me at info@hollabee.com

therapeutic sewing...

I've been absent from blogland for a while now and of course it's all to do with ink & spindle...which is coming along great :)
It's a lot of hard work, but it's oh so worth it. Our floor looks just stunning and with that done, we're onto the horrid blue window sills and doors. We'll be painting them a beautiful green (we've already done one door).

Coming home after many exhausting days and nights of DIY has left me with little energy to do anything else, so it has been very quiet on the design side of things. I've managed to do some sewing...therapeutic sewing so to speak. I just love sitting in front of the tv making things...at my pace that is.



I made some fabric baskets of the new fabric that arrived last week...my last ever run of floating :( The colours I've printed are a beautiful warm red, a sand and a black on creamy linen. I haven't had the time to take any photos of it yet as it's always dark when I get home from work and DIY but I'm planning to take some pictures this weekend.



Till then...take care and keep an eye on the ink & spindle blog...that's where I seem to be spending lots of time now ;)

visual diary...

today this blog is a bit of a visual blog...as I don't have much to say.

Here are some pot holders I made yesterday, they're up in the shop now.



and some mail that I received



A japanese magazine and some goodies from Leslie's shop, a cameo pin from the black apple, a card from Phaedra, Jess, Tanny, Alison and Leslie. Thanks everyone for their lovely Christmas cards from the postcard swap.

Don't forget to post a comment on my previous post...that's...if you'd like your name to go in the hat for some goodies.
