Birdsong & a Cup of Tea!

My daughter loves this fabric and I have been meaning to cover this very sweet, little old chair that was her Great Gran's for some time now. Now finally complete in the lovely Alexander Henry 'Birdsong' it is a beautiful heirloom for her bedroom and maybe a tea party or two outside in lovely weather!

There are also some lovely co-ordinates here and here that are perfect to accompany the birdsong design for many a decor or craft project.

I may even bring it along to the Stitches and Craft Show at Caulfield Racecourse, Melbourne next week. Visit us on Stand 142, between May 5-9 at Caulfield Racecourse in Melbourne for some amazing off the bolt fabrics as well as patterns, panels and our ever popular over-flowing basket of remnants. Shannon aka Aunty Cookie will also be selling her ACE fabrics and wares from our stand and I hear she has some lovely wintery colourways to tempt us all! Should be a very busy but FUN week ahead...

Gallery Note: Apologies again to our customers for the delay with announcing our handmade gallery competition winner. Winners will be announced after the show and we hope to bring an updated and easier to view gallery format soon.

SHOW PICS

Well it has been a week today since the Stitches & Craft Show finished and it has taken me this long to catch my breath! I was very pleased at how our stand came together and here are the pics and some thank yous of course.

Firstly thanks to all our online customers who dropped by and said hello. It was so good to put faces to the names. It was also great to chat to the extremely talented crafting community and designers in the Incubator who are a lovely bunch of really down to earth people.



A HUGE thanks to Tara the extremely talented designer who designed those beautiful banners you can see. Tara, you did an amazing job which far exceeded what I had imagined! Anyone requiring graphic design should definately take a look over here.



Shannon, what can I say you have been an awesome friend to me, always make me smile and your textiles are ACE! Thanks for all your help leading up to and during the show and particularly for putting up with me in my deliriously tired state. Love, Love, Love the new design!



Customers could not get enough of Shannon's fabulous hand screen printed textiles and she even received a couple of requests for her autograph on her fab drawings!



A big thanks to both Amy (above) and Sarah (no pic I am afraid) who did a fantastic job over the 5 days. You guys have kind of saved my life of late and I much appreciate your efforts.



Shannon's badges ran out the door and Kate from 'Please Eloise' made some fantastic hair accessories and buttons which were also very popular.




Thanks to Beth & Jeff for doing a GRAND job minding the girls and to Dave you are amazing and my rock.

Well done to Living Creatively for pulling off a very cool 'new look' show and we look forward to next year!

Stay tuned over the coming weeks as we do our best to upload many new fabrics and patterns into the store.

Kelani is off to the Show!

We were very excited several months ago to be invited to participate by Living Creatively the fabulous hosts of this hip and happening show and can't wait to meet in person many of our customers and the fabulous craft blogging community. This year the show is part of the L'Oreal Melbourne Fashion Festival so their will be loads of stylish fashion going on as well as many craft market stalls on the outside to visit.
