Busy, Busy, Busy

It is a crazy time of year for me.  I have a trade table at numerous quilt exhibitions this month.  This Sunday I will be at the Mary Gilmore Cultural Festival, Ariah Park NSW in the Main Hall.  I will be taking buttons, patterns and sewing notions for sale, so if you are in the area, please drop in and say hi.

Lots of new products are arriving for the online store, as well as restocking Christmas supplies. 
I have added Plaid Mod Podge to my range of products, and you should check out this site (Mod Podge Rocks) to see the amazing things you can achieve with Mod Podge.

Also arriving this week, is a special buy of wooden birdhouses, these will be limited stock and once they are sold, there will be no more. 

New Theodora Cleave buttons are also in transit, so keep an eye out for them in store as well as old favourites being restocked.  Barb Smith is amazing with her hand painted wooden buttons, and I am having a hard time trying to keep up with the orders.  If your favourite button is "out of stock"  check the shipping time information to see if it has been ordered.

As you can imagine, due to these commitments I have not been spending much time in the craft studio, but I hope to get something made to show you soon

Hope you are making better progress on your Christmas sewing than I am?

Coasters Make Over

These coasters were dull and boring, so while I had the ModPodge out, they had a makeover.

I purchased the coaster graphics from Sunflower Friends - Sondra has the most amazing printables, and I purchase a lot of graphics from her.

A new look for my coasters... printed graphics on cardboard, cut out and ModPodge to the coasters.  I put three coats of ModPodge on top, so that they would take the wear.

A quick look at another couple of recycled business card tags - these were quick and easy using Theodora Cleave hand painted wooden buttons

I need to purchase more Christmas Stamps, as I think they need just a little extra on the tag. Maybe a background? I think I need to play with them a little more as I am not quite happy with the final result.

Till next time
