Perth Upmarket Time!

Can you believe that there is just over a week to go until Perth Upmarket? I cant!!! I am pretty excited as this is the first champ + rosie outing of the year, to celebrate all our A4 giclee prints at Perth Upmarket will be on sale for $10, a total steal! I cant wait to see you all next weekend.

Look at me...

Finally I can walk into Spotlight and not feel like a sewing impostor! Here are some of my efforts for the the past few weeks (dont look too closely!) Sewing is great, I'm not really sure why I didnt learn earlier? It doesnt seem like a lot but my fold over pouch, drawstring bag and retro cup pincushion seem like gold to me! If you want to learn definitely check out miss mary sewing classes, kelly is a fab teacher and soooo patient with the unskilled like me!! Next projects... peasant top, pinafore & softies ohh and possibly some Christmas stuff... excited.

Slight obsession with Instagram...how about you?

Sew!

Seems (*sewing reference haha) like I have been blabbering on about learning to sew for years now! well finally I am learning, I have signed up with Miss Mary Sewing Classes, soooo exciting I will be sure to take pics of my progress for this week... I think it took me about 50 hours to select fabric for my first project, I am pretty sure the ladies at spotlight had a good laugh, oh well! here are some pics of the sewing machine I have on loan, not sure how old it is but I suspect minimum 40yrs? its fantastic, I love the fact that it has an 'expand-a-matic' however it is a workout carrying it anywhere!

Tote crazy!

it is no secret that I love a good tote bag! my love of the tote was what pushed me to start creating my own, something lovely to carry all of my junk around in and a pretty alternative for grocery shopping, instead of those green bags... and now my totes are in this great book, hooray super exciting! there are soooo many great makers, illustrators and designers featured in this book and it feels very weird to be including along side them! also I cant wait to use the Gemma Correll tote that comes with it yay!! It was put together by Jitesh Patel (a very talented UK designer) and published by Laurence King check it out!

Tea weather?

I thought I had forgotten what it was like to see, hear and smell the rain...but I was reminded yesterday by the brief downpour we had (finally!!) weather like this is perfect for cups of tea and badge making! if only I had one of these (or both?) cute Shinzi Katoh teapots life would be perfect!
