Tis the season for nose blowing and don't I know it, there's lots of stitching of cuteness going on this week for new tissue cosies in production for tomorrow night's BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market. For those in Brisbane the details are all here or you can head to my lil shop and pick one up before Winter hits!

my creative space

I'm still here and I'm still crafting I swear! Don't believe me? Check out a few new items in the shop as proof. Plus I'm even squeezing in some granny square time on the couch, it's a tough life huh :)  This one's destined to be a cute little blanket for niece number 5 (yes, girls 5, boys nil), her and I are due to meet at the end of the month. Yes, I've only just started this (teehee) and no I probably won't have it ready in time for her arrival but forward-thinking me has a stash of chunky chooky rattles for all the new babies in my life, one of which will keep her occupied in the mean time.

For more spaces or to show off yours head to Kirsty's.

Things are starting to get chilly in my little sanctuary, the slippers are out and jeans are taking over the wardrobe big time. Nothing like a bit of online window shopping to cosy things up :)

I'm not fabulous at blowing trumpets but just thought I'd share some recent media bits. That's me above in The Sunday Mail and my little gramophone embroidery below in The Courier Mail :)

Hope you're all having a fabulous week!

BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market

 

I'm super excited to be kicking off with my first market for 2011 this Friday night at King George Square from 5-9pm. 

100% of the proceeds from edward & lilly sales on the night will be donated to the Queensland Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal so if you're in Brisbane head on into the City to support your fellow crafters and the Appeal.

If you're not in Brisbane you can still show your support for BrisStyle's Handmade Ark Appeal or head to my little shop where proceeds will be donated to the Appeal until the end of February.

See you there!

pantone fall 2011: bamboo

helping north queensland

It's been a tough start to the year for Queenslanders to say the least, with flooding in Brisbane followed quickly by Cyclone Yasi in the North there's a lot of clean up to be done and a lot of money to be raised.

The amazing team at BrisStyle is stitching, cutting, glueing and crocheting into the night to continue the Handmade Ark Appeal which has raised $3646 to date for both flood and cyclone affected people. Check out what's on offer from BrisStylers here.

As part of Handmade Ark during the month of February 100% of sales from my little shop will be donated to the Premier's Disaster Relief Appeal including all takings from the next BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market on 25 February from 5-9pm at King George Square, Brisbane CBD.

So what are you waiting for? Get shopping and head to the Handmade Ark or my little shop.

OR even better give this post a little facebook and tweet with the buttons above to help spread the word :)
