.: show time for the home-ies :.

The lovely Elissa from Kelani Fabric Obsession is taking our home-ies panels, as well as our Step Aside Coffee panel, to the Craft and Quilt Fair in Sydney and Melbourne. 

Vee and I have been busy printing, packaging and sewing up sample cushions - and we are headed to the post office tomorrow to send it all to Sydney for the show (it's on 12 - 16 June). 

I wanted to take some pics of the cushions all together before they fly south - so I drove to Pillow Talk this morning - waited 20 minutes for it to open (I did have a takeaway coffee and instagram to distract me) - to buy a few size 18 cushion inserts.

Shame that Pillow Talk didn't have any size 18 cushion inserts.  Lucky that I had one at home.  So instead of a couple of pics showing you all the cushions ... start scrolling for 11 pics ... yes, 11 ...

And here they are - dodgy night time lighting and a little blurry - all packed and ready to post.  Vee has all the panels at her house - she has been on a packaging frenzy.

Very happy to be sending a rather hefty package off tomorrow - and hope that Elissa and all the stall holders (and shoppers!) have an awesome few days at the Fair.     xoxo cat

:: Hello November - Helloooo Kelani ::

Far out October was busy, and November is gearing up to be cra-zay too.

Vee and I have a market on Friday the 16th, and then another on December the 8th.  We are sewing and screen printing like mad women.

Meanwhile 'normal' life rolls on - family stuff, Vee's been studying, heaps of stuff happening at the kids' school, all the usual pre-Christmas happenings, and we're thankfully almost at the end of piano and violin exam season.  

No sign of Christmas shopping starting yet. 

In other news, we had an awesome afternoon yesterday - a little anti-Halloween gathering at Vee's house after school.  While we were there, Elissa from Kelani Fabric Obsession rang to let us know our panels are now for sale in her shop!!  Gahhhhh!! 

{{ooooh hello}}

And oh, what section of Elissa's amazing shop are we in, we hear you ask ...

{{that would be Australian Designers}}

Excuse the iphone shots, they're all we've managed so far.

We both love Kelani, and Elissa is so lovely.  Please click across and take a look at Elissa's gorgeous fabrics.  And pay particular attention to the Australian Designers' page ;-)

Vee and I are screen printing again tomorrow.  We're not stocking new stuff in our Etsy shop until after the two markets are over - just so you know.  There are a few panels and teatowels still, but everything we are printing and sewing we are keeping aside for the markets, so our table will look oh-so-awesome-and-inviting. 

Hope your week has been a good one - we're nearly to the weekend!    xoxo cat
