let there be light..

A new lightshade made from Echino Flap - ready for the Frank Kitts Market tomorrow.

in production mode

I am at the Frank Kitts Market again this Saturday and I sold out of most of the reversible head bands last time, so today I have been in production mode.  These are some of the headbands that have been made.  I don't think any one would employ me to do this - I am too easily bored and too keen to skive off!

I also have some bears to make - I made a green bear a fortnight ago and he only lasted 5 minutes on my stall.  I did not even get a photo of him, he was bought by a young couple whose little boy was in the neonatal unit at Wellington Hosiptal, so I hope he is working some magic there.

I also have to vileisofix some more of these guys.  It is a bit of a trial to see how they go.  These ready to go appliques are $5 for a bag of 5.  I will also pop some into the shop - they aren't there just yet!

Also in production have been some more light shades - this one is on its way to its new home.  I love it, I hope the new owner does as well.  I realised that I seem to have photographed the side where most of the letters are upside down (duh) the print is multi directional and this is not a huge cock up - (although I have been known to do those - cock ups that is - they usually end up in our house, not sold to someone else).

 

this time last year

What a busy week.  There has been no time for blogging, or sewing, I have either been working or spending time with family.  We have had my sister in law, Jenni staying, which is always a special time.   Jenni lives and teaches in Tanzania and this time last year Jack went back to Tanzania with Jenni for 13 weeks and went to the school over there.  As a Mum it was extremely hard to say goodbye and let my 14 year old go for that length of time, but I could not hold him back from an opportunity of a life time. So this time last year I was a blubbering mess.  I think it was the slowest 13 weeks in history.

Thank you Jenni; it is a very special person who can live with a teenager that is not their own!

This week has also seen more lights being made...

a cushy number and a market tomorrow

Cushions, cushions everywhere.  I am just trying to sort out all the details to offer custom made cushions in the shop and these are some of the cushions I have had made to showcase the fabrics.

I am also pleased to say that you can now order custom made lightshades in the shop.  This one is an 18 inch drum in Quiet Ground in Natural.  This fabric has sold out but there is more coming in the shipment in August.

And because there was some left over fabric that I did not want to go to waste I created some instant art for the lounge wall. 

Plus if you need a fabric fix tomorrow I will be at the Frank Kitts Market in Wellington from 10 am to 4 pm.

Have a great weekend and happy stitching.
