Last week of August and it has been quite a busy crafting month for me – my craft room is finished – but photos will have to wait till next week. I have been crafting crazily – and making felt cookies and soft cake plates for an exhibition coming up soon. Photos of that soon too. I was at the Sydney Stitches & Craft fair last weekend with my friend Kate and her baby, and we had a lovely time meeting all the cool chicks on the top floor. We heard Jodie from Ric Rac talking about blogging, and met up with Justine from Mixtape zine, Nichola from Burda style and wardrobe refashion, Nanette from Rummage (who we realised that we know in real life – what a surprise that was), and Dear Fii. I bought some lovely goodies from Ink & Spindle, from pippi joe, from Kristen Doran, cloth (and watched a lovely demo of their design process), prints charming, some lovely goodies from Amitie, I also bought one of Nicole’s delicious Apples and a tutti frutti bunting.
This week on whipup some fabulousness – I love the cowboy boots and these were my fave handmade project for the week – so amazing. Book reviews – for designers – Artistic printing … crochet adorned - best crochet book I have seen in a while … and a spinning dvd review … and my favourite crazy nerdy thing this week in the stitch wars show - with all things star wars.
