the totes are all ready...

take a look at the finished calico tote bags, they look great! all designs will be available on sunday at perth upmarket. They have a medium sized handle great to throw over your shoulder, and they also feature a gusset at the bottom perfect if you need to carry anything heavy!

upmarket is almost here yay!

bot has made it onto his own range of badges + magnets, take a look in person this sunday at perth upmarket!

champy looks very bored in this pic!





A sea of canvas art ( i think this is the first time i have ever used the pool table!)

the week in review...

what a week its been for myself and champ + rosie. I am only about 6 canvas' away from finishing my perth upmarket haul hooray and just a few button badges and well lots of magnets to go! this year i have decided to reason with myself and say 'now, as much as you want to hand make everything yourself...you just don't have the time...remember that full time job you have...' so this year i have decided to out source a couple of new items including tote bags which were mentioned in my last post along with some very, very cute canvas bookmarks! all of which should be here late next week, so hopefully i can do a mini post when they arrive (after i tag the bags and eyelet + ribbon the bookmarks, I've got to put some hands on effort in).

Also, this year I will be restocking my etsy store the night before upmarket so if you miss out at upmarket you can still purchase online (its a tad more online) i was a little slack in doing this last year, so i if do it the night before its already done and i wont have to feel bad! but i do hope to see all of you at upmarket, it will be a great day :)

and finally here is a pic of my 3 yellow birds - birdcages canvas print, one of my favs for this week...

new totes!

well, it has been a while since my last post but...to make up for the lack of posting here is a sneak peek at a new range of calico tote bags which will be available at the march upmarket



Here is a pic of what they will look like, the totes will feature a series of three designs (as seen on champ + rosie canvas art)
1. elephants + balloon, 2. robot, 3. black owl each tote measures around xxx and the prints will be A4 size, they will also come with a coordinating button badge. Price = TBA

introducing...bot.

well, things have been very busy not a lot of champ + rosie-ing happening at the moment, between work and home life...but it will all be back in full swing very soon! i thought i would start to introduce some my characters from my canvas art starting with bot, the robot! he made his debut at perth upmarket December 08 (like me!) and he was a great success! he will be back again at march upmarket, and maybe growing in size and taking to some other forms of canvas...there were some requests last time for larger canvas art, i am hoping to bring along a few although i do love the teeny and intimateness (is that a word?) of the current size. stay tuned.
**bot is not on etsy yet, but hopefully he will make an appearance soon!!!

New stock for the new year...

well, there has already been some luck for the new year! shortly I will be stocking with Dorothy & Evelyn a gorgeous little boutique in St Kilda who also have an online store (for those not in Melbourne, like me!) they sell some really great vintage fashion and nicnacs along with some beautiful items by Australian designers, check them out! champ + rosie should be available soon...

back into the swing....sort of?

well, the holidays are well and truly over! and its time to return to the real world... i have thought about making a few new items over the break and hopefully in the coming weeks i will get cracking on them. I really need to update my etsy site with the whole range....a little slack on my behalf.
I have already started planning for perth upmarket (8th March don't forget it!) and yes I am already excited! I definitely need to make more bitsnpieces this time, i guess its hard to judge qtys for your first time. Also, i really need to look how better to display my stuff...everyone seemed to have fab looking equipment, i need to find some!
By the way some possibly excited news if you live in St Kilda....stay tuned
