We have some new and exciting colours in the shop...

Shop in Brisbane or online...

We've been busy cutting, folding, packing all weekend and we're almost ready to hop on the plane. Before we go we're doing a class in lace making, the old school type... tea lady style :) how cool!

Lara & Teegs will fly out on Tuesday to setup and man the stall on Wednesday and I will fly out on Wednesday evening to be there from Thursday til Sunday. How exciting... I hope we have enough stock...

Please come and visit us at the Brisbane Stitches and Craft show... and for those who are left behind, I just updated the shop with a whole lot of mixpacks. All orders will be sent out when we get back, which is after the 5th of May.



See you in Brisbane! or when we get back :)

New colour...

Fresh in the shop... a new colourway that we printed for the Stitches & Craft show.


Bloem in Dusty Pink

Show & tell...

Today we're having a day off. A day just for us. To 'recover' from the big show(s).

Yesterday's show was fun. It took some time and coordination to get all the models dressed and lined up (gosh the place was a mad house for a while) but once that was all sorted it went pretty smooth. Ink & Spindle made 9 skirts for the show and we'll get them back so we can wear them :)

We also made some canvasses and other cool things for the exhibition, which will be on at NMBQ, 57 Smith street, Fitzroy until the 22nd of March 2009. Go and have a look, there's great work on show and all made ethically and locally.

... and here's what I came home with from the Stitches & Craft show


Henry le oobee (ooh la la, he's French) and a zipper mouth monster (it says 'Bite me')

We all did swaps, how nice is that. Thanks Leslie. Thanks Jodie. You both rock! These softies totally make my day, every day. Henry is very charming and zipper mouth monster is hilarious, I'm in lurve :)

Check Soozs' blog to see all the photo's of the show and the great blogger dinner she organised. Thanks Sooz, it was fun and yummie too! We all brought something for a swap too, what else could I bring but fabric ;) and in return I received a free tap dancing lession from Miss Caroline Tap Dance. That's going to be so much fun, and Teegs is coming with me.

... and to top it off. I updated the shop with some leftover stock. Bloem in Charcoal and Deep Red are back, as well as some new mixpacks. I have a new colourway to add too, but I haven't had time to photograph it yet.

Small shop update...

I've put the nightmares aside and updated the shop with small quantities of the new sumor colours. The rest of the fabric will come with me to the Stitches & Craft show.
We hope to see you at the show... unless you have a really good excuse (like living on the other side of the world).

Colour...

Feel like adding some colour to your home... or wardrobe?

I decided to print the reverse of the bright colours I already had in the shop, to make them matching. So both Bloem and Seeds have now been printed in Teal, Olive, Orange Gold and Plum. They're available in the shop now!

(Seeds in Plum will follow soon... I haven't had the chance to photograph it yet)







Some more good news... a new hollabee pattern will be coming out of our studio in the next week or so... I'll keep you posted!

Just a quick post... to let you know that I've updated the shop with some more mixpacks.

I'll do another shop update next week, when I pick up my four 'dusty' colours.
I was thinking of selling some of this in full width (137cm) so people can use them as parts of kids bed linen...any feedback on this?

Back to business... sewing, quilting, decorating, designing, testing my new gadget, reading...and some other exciting things are about to happen but sadly I can't blog about it until it's finalised...more later ;)

very late...

some very late Christmas card designs...





I might print myself some and send them to friends & family...

The shop has been updated with placemats and notebooks. I will be doing another update after the weekend. I'm also offering free Christmas wrapping until December 9th for International orders and until December 16th for Australian orders. Please leave a comment in the checkout section!
