<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Where do I begin.... it has been a very long time since we have posted on our blog. Time seems to be very precious at the moment and squeezing in that half hour to blog has been difficult. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I promise that we will be posting much more this year. </span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">This is "Hoppla" our latest pattern from Eileen Seifert. Josey has made her in the most gorgeous pink viscose and vintaged her with parisian essence and our wonderful new Faber-Castell pastel pencils. We are having a lot of fun playing with these new pencils. We started a class this week and will put photos up here once it is finished....just in time for easter!</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Josey has designed a gorgeous new project called "Waffles & Chirp". This project came about after a visit from a rep selling the most gorgeous little tins. Josey was so inspired by these little tins that we ordered plenty and she designed her latest pattern. A sweet little bunny with the cutest little chick. The kit comes packaged in it's tin with all of the bit and pieces needed. (I have even made the little beaks for the chick!)</span><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Anyway, I best get back to the girls who are happily working on their dolls with Susie McMahon. I will definitely get some photos of them finished and post them here.</span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">Expecting to walk into a dark shop with lots of dishes and cleaning to do.... I walked into a sparkling clean one! At first I was concerned that I had forgotten to turn everything off before closing up last night... but it slowly dawned on me that I wasn't losing my mind, I had had an early morning visit.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSL6hy1c2bE/UMfB_o9wkpI/AAAAAAAABCI/7cCpdJyNE84/s1600/shop+and+pincushion+008.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MSL6hy1c2bE/UMfB_o9wkpI/AAAAAAAABCI/7cCpdJyNE84/s320/shop+and+pincushion+008.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">The lights were on, the radio on, urn turned on ready for a cup of tea, dishes washed, dried and put away, both class room tables cleaned and tidied, counter tidied and cleaned and the good old "Dyson" had been given a work out too! The air conditioner was on and the shop was lovely and cool.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">I wonder who it could have been....? Of course it was the very special Josey.... I cannot believe that with all of the things happening in her very busy life that she thought of me and came into work very early on her day off to do something so sweet and caring for me.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Verdana, sans-serif;">What a special lady....thank you Josey, you are a treasured friend and I love you dearly. xxx</span>Kimhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10691462131990852682noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8609305753357873722.post-15359009042331874322012-12-03T23:44:00.000+11:002012-12-03T23:44:35.521+11:00<span class="Apple-style-span" style="color: #990000; font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">jiNGle aLL tHe wAy...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As today was Monday and the shop was closed -- Kim and I decided to meet up and sneak in a little Christmas shopping -- where did we go???? Well we headed straight down to Santa's Place to pick up some new Christmas decorations for our trees...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Kim went for the Reds and Lime Greens, whilst I went for the Mochas, Plums and Old Golds... </span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">We had a wonderful day -- Santa's Place is just awesome. I had been before but this was Kim's first time. I watched her face as we walked in the door, I didn't want to miss her reaction -- I just knew she was gonna LOVE it!!!</span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">It was well worth a visit -- Santa's Place is a treasure trove of all things Christmas, in every colour imaginable!!! They also have a cafeteria, a children's playground and a Christmas tree farm!!!</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">As soon as the trees are decorated, we will post the pictures -- so keep your eyes on this blog...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Hugs</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Josey xo</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If you walked into our shop today, you would have seen our gigantic classroom table FULL of trims, laces, flowers, charms and bling blings... as we spent most of the day preparing for the upcoming teacup pincushion workshops.</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">At one stage we even spread into the garden so that all the freshly dyed flowers, laces and trims could dry in the sun -- what fun we had creating these perfect little packs for you. </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Each one, though slightly different, includes all the bits'n'pieces to make your own pincushion -- all you need to supply is a handful of stuffing!!! </span><br />
<br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Look how pretty they are...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">From as far back as I can remember, and for a reason which I can't really explain, tea cups have held a very dear place in my heart. Whenever we go away I always seem to come back with more teacups to add to my collection...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">And as hard as I try, I just can't resist them. My husband can even tell you the story of a time when we were in Venice and on our last hours there, he left me at the hotel to quickly go back to buy me a Murano glass teacup which we had seen in one of the shops earlier. I hadn't bought it at the time because he said it was too fragile to bring back home to Australia :(</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Try as I might, I couldn't get that teacup out of my head -- so for some peace hubby decided he would go back to the shop on his own as it would be faster. Well he did buy me that teacup but he also got lost on his way back and we both nearly missed the start of our cruise -- all because of a teacup!!! He still has heart palpitations just thinking about it -- the teacup incident in Venice left him scarred for life!!! Now whenever I see one that I fancy he simply says "just get it if you like it"...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Now I'm getting sidetracked -- so let's go back to the reason behind this blog post...</span><br />
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Last Thursday Kim and I received a parcel and upon opening it I discovered the most exquisite... you guessed it -- teacups!!! Each one had been crocheted and heavily starched, complete with its own little saucer. Such delightful little creations -- we put a little bear in one, and some tulle flowers in another -- oh how sweet they all looked!!! Then it hit me -- they would make great little pincushions. I walked around the shop and grabbed some supplies from our extensive range of pretty ribbons and trims. I was itching to get home and start creating this new project...</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">Starting with a circle of "ever-so-soft" cream cashmere I embellished the centre with the bits of laces, trims, beads and sequins I had collected. To this I added charms, buttons and a tulle trim -- I fiddled and faddled until I was completely happy with the result... What do you think???</span><br />

<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">If anyone is interested in making one of these, (they are quick to make and quite inexpensive) we have set aside two of our social stitching nights to help you. (Tuesday 4 & 11th December 7.00pm - 9.30pm) We are also desperately </span><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-family: 'Trebuchet MS', sans-serif;">trying to squeeze in a one day workshop before Christmas -- probably on a Tuesday.
