End of the month already!

Don't know where this month has gone but we do have some progress to show. My studio has gone from

To

Now I just need some electricity, plaster and a bit of paint and we will be up and running. Notice how green the bush is above compared to when we started?  There has been a huge amount of rain which is now holding us up.

As I can't really use my sewing machine I have been doing a stitchery that appealed from a Favourite Crafts Magazine No. 18. 

 

I thought it had a really nice message as you never really know what you are going to get each day! It is good to sit quietly and listen to what is going on around. Don't laugh when you see my version below.

There is a bit of unpicking to do. Stitchery was never my strong point (new glasses have helped) but as it is going to be a cushion cover, my back will be on it most of the time … LOL. Hopefully I will have the finished product to show next month.

Till then stay well

New Year

Hi all,

Well my new years resolution is to update my blog once a month at least …. nearly breaking it already. I know it has been one year and 7 months since my last post, how time flies.

Because I have moved everything has been packed and I have not been doing any printing or sewing over the last year. I now live out in the “sticks” which has been very peaceful and I don't think I will ever be able to live in suburbia again! The good news is the the old Chook Shed is going to be my new sewing/screen printing room. I am so excited!

So looking forwards to unpacking everything and getting back to normal. I do have a long list of things I want to do.

With all the horrible weather we have had over the last few days the year can only get better! Till the next update, stay safe and I look forwards to showing you my latest projects.

Giveaway Day

Hello from Jump Creations,

Samelia's Mum posted the Giveaway Day on her blog.  Along with letting us know about the Giveaway Day, Samelia's Mum is also giving away some wonderful fabric and a quilt pattern that I must have.  So go and check it out because you have to be in it to win it!

Butterflies, Apples, Pears and Planets!

Hope you have all enjoyed the long weekend and have been creative.  The break over Easter was a great time for me to do some things I have been trying to do for a while.  A case of so much to do so little time.  So here is what I have been up to.

My first planet block. So now I need to get that sketch book out again to work on the rest of the space range.

 Because I have been doing a stall on Sundays at the North Lakes Market (the weather was fantastic Sunday) I wanted to have something for mums & girls as I could not take the disappointment on their faces when they realised it was all boys previously.  So a sketch I had of apples & pears became my new Tea Towels which I am very pleased with.  I can see some place mats being made out of this too.  Because it is not gender specific I am sure that the males out there will like it too. What do you think?

 

I was not sure if my new butterfly blocks would please the girls but the response yesterday proved that I have it right. As they said, how cute.  I can see some T Shirts with this on it too.

I will be at the North Lakes Markets next Sunday then every 2^nd Sunday after that.  I will list the dates on my Blog and would love you to come and say hello.  It is such a nice spot by the lake and so family orientated including the four legged family members.

Hope you have all enjoyed the long weekend and have a good week.

Till the next post stay well.

Regards,
Debbie.

Soothe Your Soul

Hi everyone,

This is more for Karen from Soothe Your Soul.  Karen has net curtains in her massage/reflexology room and we decided that her logo printed on some white material would be the perfect way to hem them.  I have tested my new red on this as it is the perfect color to match.  So one lot down and another to go.  Then will come the  hemming!  Karen has given me a wonderful massage followed by reflexology on my feet today so I am feeling very relaxed and that is what I am going to do for the rest of the day.  Catch you all later.
Debbie.

New Winner!

Hi all,

Remember this give away?  Well I have had to re-draw it as MooMummy has not contacted me.

So the new winner is ......

Quiltjane!

Congratulations Quiltjane. If you can email me your postal address I will happily send you your goodies next week.  MooMummy if you have been sick or away I will send you the same if you contact me.

Because we have 5 days holiday over Easter I am in a frenzy of printing so will have some new things to share. I have some new colored inks, a very bright red and purple which I can't wait to use.

So back into it and will have another post soon. 

Enjoy the holiday everyone.

Debbie.

Market Day

Hello everyone,

I finally had my first market day, how exciting!  Jessica from Scrappy n Happy was kind enough to come and look after the stall for me as I was next door doing my ENJO stall.   The North Lakes Market had a big launch day yesterday.  While it was very windy (as per normal) it was a lot of fun for everyone including the stall holders as the entertainment and children getting their faces painted was quite amusing.

The bright colors attracted a lot of kids.  Do you see my new T Towel on the right?  I am really pleased with this and will put a better picture up when I get some decent light.

MooMummy who won the give away has not contacted me with her details so if I don't hear from MooMummy by the 20th of April EST I will redraw the give away on the Thursday 21st April.

I will have more exciting news to share later in the week. So until then have a good week.

Regards,
Debbie
