<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Screen Printing Workshops are currently all booked up, but I'm planning 2 or 3 more before the end of the year. Perfect for doing Christmas making. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Learn the basics of screen printing onto fabric in this fun class. You'll hand cut your own stencils, using your original designs (I'll be there to help with design inspiration!), and then print using a blank screen and toxic-free printing ink. <br />
<br />
All materials will be provided as well as ongoing help, and access to extra materials at wholesale prices. We'll be printing onto sustainable and organic fabrics (class will include 2 x 100% linen tea towels and 1/2m of organic cotton / hemp fabric). You're welcome to bring along your own materials for printing onto (t-shirts, pillow cases, baby onesies, etc). We'll talk about designs suitable for stencil cut printing, as well as exposed screens. <br />
<br />
I'm opening bookings up for the following dates:</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Saturday 27th Nov, Saturday 4th Dec & Sunday 5th Dec. If anyone is interested in any other dates or times, let me know so we can consult diaries. I can do classes mid-week, if you'd like to have a fun get together with your friends (while the kids are at school!). Perfect way to have your crafty gatherings.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Bookings <a href="http://redseedstudio.bigcartel.com/product/beginners-screen-printing-class">here</a>. Or email me {redseedstudio@gmail.com} for further info.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">In other news, we'll be at the upcoming <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/brisbane_markets.php">Brisbane Finders Keepers </a>market. Saturday 6th & Sunday 7th Nov 10am - 5pm. At the beautiful Old Museum, Herston. Come along and visit us, to see our new collection. (Just a reminder that we'll have no eftpos or card facilities there).</div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div>elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434178703352054527.post-80277425280627570952010-09-22T08:57:00.000+10:002010-09-22T08:57:27.906+10:00Screen Printing Workshops<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZeI1QPFgd4SNzBMGN1e4uCbmJfCHdPfG6qq_5e3yg9AjIhI2NYCM_bVDTgZN3ZcMTxf6Y0W96P-msDJV3EM9IEynkT8WayUMOXm6LlVj11xxXAma0EoFqAhAmdRBhyKGhaEwkJVSdHjC/s1600/IMG_9972.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEibZeI1QPFgd4SNzBMGN1e4uCbmJfCHdPfG6qq_5e3yg9AjIhI2NYCM_bVDTgZN3ZcMTxf6Y0W96P-msDJV3EM9IEynkT8WayUMOXm6LlVj11xxXAma0EoFqAhAmdRBhyKGhaEwkJVSdHjC/s640/IMG_9972.JPG" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Are you interested in learning how to screen print? If so, I'd love to invite you along to our new studio space for a fun little day of designing and printing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We'll spend some time working on a design, then hand cutting the stencil to turn into your screen printing image. We'll be printing onto 100% linen tea towels, fabric pieces or any other medium you'd like to bring along (pillow cases, t-shirts, etc etc). Our new table is very lovely to print on - come and add your mark! </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Our studio is located in inner-city Brisbane, and close to good transport as well as ample parking. It's a lovely location, with a good backyard for morning / afternoon tea and chatting. </div><br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/petalplum/4396150103/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFbmaBDB0iEIwb2nADJQFU5d2DBKmd4HyqYpO8V2nfpEZtQ0aHYyhkYmXlqx27HHiO9LCg8epO0FZUcGZpVlP1OtFARh9rqdQRJ9TthQSdhgrKQ7ZdtbC2Nne35wQrP5pcArxjFQoVhnf5/s400/IMG_7528.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you all so much for hanging in here, while we've been basically absent from this little blog of ours. We've both been posting over at our individual blogs, if you'd like to visit there to see what's been happening of late. <a href="http://craftlaboratory.blogspot.com/">Craft Laboratory</a>. <a href="http://petalplum.blogspot.com/">Petalplum</a>. You may notice, from reading our blogs, that there is a similar theme running through them. The theme of us both feeling a little lost, and unsure of where we're up to, where life is taking us.....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The reason for this is that late last year we both had quite exciting and pretty real plans for where we would be right now. If all had gone to plan we would currently be in our new shop, sewing or printing or fondling lovely lovely fabric, and talking with sweet crafting friends.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Things don't always go to plan, though, do they. Life in general rarely goes to plan. It doesn't matter how many hours, weeks, months you've planned and dreamed and set your heart on something. Things slip and change and we have to move with that, rather than the looking back and longing and wishing. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What I'm getting to, in a very long winded manner!, is that our lovely little modern crafting shop will not be going ahead as planned (at this time..... a girl can dream, can't she). Our lives have lead us to realise that we weren't both in the same place of readiness to sign on the dotted line together. Committing to a $50,000+ a year (for 3years) lease is a big thing to step into.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We are both devastatingly sad about this decision. Having got to the planning stage of choosing wall colours, and couches for our entrance way, and drawing up how our sewing room and fabric shop would look, and then to have to stop. But sometimes you have to stop in life. And, things move forward, or sideways, and things change and you start doing something else....</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So - please do stay tuned for more details on what Danielle and I are up to. While the bricks & mortar shop isn't happening (at this stage.... I'll keep telling myself that), we both have things simmering away, slowly progressing onto the next point in our creative lives. We'll also be spending a bit of time updating our online shop, as we have some lovely fabrics, patterns and other little pieces that we want to share with you.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Danielle has so many things, she simply has to just decide which direction to turn to. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">For myself, after I get home from my New Zealand workshop, I'll be jumping into my new collection. This will be a change from our previous <a href="http://www.redseedstudio.com.au/">Red Seed Studio</a> range, and I'll be announcing it here. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We both thank you from the bottom of our hearts for all the support and friendship and excitement we have received about our Selvedge House shop. We look forward to seeing you all around blogland, somewhere or other!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.flickr.com/photos/petalplum/4396150805/"><img border="0" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiue7j4D9r5S4OkqzU-6HooWJtW1kIVhcXbjudf9oCo6KODHsLCpGyKI0zXtWnqz6oZ0kX98sg_-H49x2qRJO1OW-VeWaBMh-y6w1YjjwHjvVDO-zszEWhjJ1UnVZ8ZT3YXjl4NRStJvl3Y/s400/IMG_7531.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;">xxxx E + D</div>elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434178703352054527.post-45852829938819472922010-02-22T16:31:00.001+10:002010-02-22T16:32:07.254+10:00something witty and hilarious<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOHIqnTAMJIwsQCCBAq9j5BpjFcRFiZmuHBEPhrAlY1ay6kt6Qq8-pMk6AkBf3Ab_piAsE9oDbxFd-4blshX_qh92zGqSrB2nBR4-5K7uSak1p5ybn2u_FGCi0CwBMe5heUTJakodkaAWV/s1600-h/20100222_2120.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhOHIqnTAMJIwsQCCBAq9j5BpjFcRFiZmuHBEPhrAlY1ay6kt6Qq8-pMk6AkBf3Ab_piAsE9oDbxFd-4blshX_qh92zGqSrB2nBR4-5K7uSak1p5ybn2u_FGCi0CwBMe5heUTJakodkaAWV/s400/20100222_2120.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><br />

She's also a blog follower of Selvedge House, <a href="http://craftlaboratory.blogspot.com/">Craft Laboratory</a> and <a href="http://petalplum.blogspot.com/">Petalplum</a>. The prize we sent out was some of our pear fabric printed onto the berry hemp. Delicious. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Combined with some natural unprinted fabric, Caroline has made a beautiful little <a href="http://maikacreations.blogspot.com/2010/02/judge-book-and-cover.html">notebook cover</a>. This looks, to me, to be a unique design - I love that little flap on, and the strip to hold pages in place. If hemp fabric lasts as long as my customers have told me (you know those lovely older ladies you meet at markets, who say they've had beautiful soft hemp sheets for 30+ years), then I can foresee lots and lots of important and witty notes being jotted down in this booklet. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I totally agree, Caroline, about how the hemp feels soft and buttery like your favourite pair of jeans. It's such a delicious fabric to sew with. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Dg5FOCwWSA9ZIX1LtZaR_GmDy4hcPTWCPQln6X4NDGgYRDNlq3yjbjFwxIx50cvvl-Cy3qXqETZsBUvUVRAuUc_0ZCTwMGfNfu8sDhRNqks6bWpibMfXB1WU-rtXVR7CnAmPE_KJ8Xj2/s1600-h/20100222_2119.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="267" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj6Dg5FOCwWSA9ZIX1LtZaR_GmDy4hcPTWCPQln6X4NDGgYRDNlq3yjbjFwxIx50cvvl-Cy3qXqETZsBUvUVRAuUc_0ZCTwMGfNfu8sDhRNqks6bWpibMfXB1WU-rtXVR7CnAmPE_KJ8Xj2/s400/20100222_2119.JPG" width="400" /></a> </div><div style="text-align: center;"> <a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2uPhMga_BenRt5Lzn4d-S9_YOQ6x6pHhEUxg2JfRPswT7kI997gXIM6And789cIJy3dgPEsyJaVundzv0x9A0raLSfh7zXUQHUc30naESX5ZA2x7WHqdjbfUAGehqCnk-7uVLTNPf3L6Q/s1600-h/20100222_2121.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="363" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj2uPhMga_BenRt5Lzn4d-S9_YOQ6x6pHhEUxg2JfRPswT7kI997gXIM6And789cIJy3dgPEsyJaVundzv0x9A0raLSfh7zXUQHUc30naESX5ZA2x7WHqdjbfUAGehqCnk-7uVLTNPf3L6Q/s400/20100222_2121.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;"></div><div style="text-align: justify;">Thank you for sending these photos through, <a href="http://maikacreations.blogspot.com/">Caroline</a>.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Just popping in quickly to let you all know that <a href="http://www.heatherrossdesigns.com/">Heather Ross</a> has had some of her sweet old season fabrics reprinted.</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Some of you may know that what generally happens with larger fabric printers is that once a fabric is sold out it isn't normally reprinted. Meaning that if you really love it when you first see it, buy up big. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm sure that many (all) of you have heard of the quirky, fun, sweet fabrics by Heather Ross. If you haven't yet heard about her, do pop over and have a look at her <a href="http://heatherross.squarespace.com/">blog</a>. I so love the hand drawn <a href="http://petalplum.tumblr.com/post/266191104">blog headers</a> she uses. This same wonderful, whimsical drawing style is used in her fabric collections. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://heatherross.squarespace.com/"><img border="0" height="97" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjtARQ2XqEl8rbwNBjhK5aQPMEiIof5iqiKFbwK1VUS5V0sJ8CEIjBx23zdmEhIYSPlyx4LKydHp-iaiBqW-xLCdS1ilHK4bjZPNc2oz571W3kbXu0utYPw8j6Y3AMuKM5B8TAsWlSN0sV9/s640/Picture+17.png" width="640" /></a><a href="http://heatherross.squarespace.com/"><img border="0" height="250" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjlgyJZdFv0UNFgqsOmprpyzI4IwFMA4iH11M0bC7L1_HtcLaxB7mOB0q_ecCi6dM0pg84BDPrVOTXA3KW1UId198dg5KxzAhSdPqCUT9LJfYoIIAvqGT6Ks_ntmnCC4egmcfGZ6LjAMLj3/s640/Picture+18.png" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">The first range of reprints is now available through <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/tags/heather%20ross">Spoonflower</a>. {A USA based company who will professionally print anyone's fabric designs. By anyone's I mean; email in your own designs - hand drawn, computer made, whatever - and they'll digitally print it onto the fabric of your choice. They even have organic fabrics.}</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, pop on over and have a look at these wonderful gnomes and sweet little florals. Keep yourself updated <a href="http://heatherross.squarespace.com/heather-ross-for-spoonflower/">here</a> for the arrival of the next (re)print range. </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*Unfortunately, due to <a href="http://www.spoonflower.com/welcome">Spoonflower</a> being a USA site, the costs are at the higher end. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">*The difference between hand screen printed fabrics and digitally printed fabrics will be explained in depth in a later post. But basically pretty much all the commercial fabrics on the market (most American Quilting cottons) are digitally printed. </div>elliehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13094544175392775835noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434178703352054527.post-8710224736377615422009-12-29T21:06:00.001+10:002009-12-29T21:08:49.716+10:00sweet little things at marketsThese are the wonderful things that happen during market day.<br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">These special little owl friends were made for us by a dear dear friend of mine. They're made from hemp, linen, reclaimed scraps, and some are filled with organic Australian grown lavender.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">She made some sweet elephants and little birds as well - most which went to new homes for Christmas.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Do come along and experience a beautiful night of shopping, just in time for Christmas. We'll be joined by many other wonderful and talented craftspeople.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Remember also, that the <a href="http://qag.qld.gov.au/exhibitions/current/apt6">APT</a> has just recently opened, so make some time to visit the Gallery before the markets start.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> I love the texture of them, the little snippets of story that each piece tells. The connection to another belt buckle out there. Many of the boards used in this collection are limited edition boards and graphics, never to be found again. They fit together like a puzzle - if you see your puzzle piece walking down the street say hi, won't you.<br />

I've also placed some organic lavender in the hands and feet of these little guys so that they smell gorgeous - nice and calm-inducing for kids or a great moth/silverfish repellant for your drawers (Ellie's idea - nice one partner!)! I still have to fill them with stuffing and an extra sprinkling of lavender...but please pop by for a hold and a sniff if you're at one of the X-mas markets in December (psst - look to your right to see when and where).</div><br /></div>Daniellehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14820425934727421653noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4434178703352054527.post-26478332232122852392009-11-11T17:04:00.000+10:002009-11-11T17:04:23.055+10:00{design} Flower Press<div style="text-align: justify;">A little while ago, I was the lucky winner of these beautiful tea towels.

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Hand printed by <a href="http://flowerpress.blogspot.com/">Susie</a> of <a href="http://www.etsy.com/shop/flowerpress">Flower Press</a>, they have a marvelous feel and look to them. I love the realness and rawness of something made by hand. Not some mass-produced item, but where it has been touched many times by the artisian who dreamed, designed and created it.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Susie uses gocco for some of her (paper) printing, which is something that I'm terribly intrigued by (and must do more research into.....one day soon).<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?listing_id=31071478" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifwqeIE3vg56F8VuWlvA9Upia5v6nZEzBbL2ej9o1giTXFOWVMYFlPKbuTCdlBqsGT2vqF7UkCAPzfwm6enUIyFkNLU3DGmRDB9VcKcGRqEYsA92kPZsA22t7uvIJY1nR9OaVQ5_bMDR5A/s320/Picture+1.png" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"> Her tea towels are hand screen printed onto unbleached linen or cotton, and come in a delicious rainbow of colours. <br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I must say I'm not jumping in to be washing up with these ones - as I really want to keep them for those extra special times. Thank you Susie for sending me these beautiful pieces.<br />

What is it, do we call these people.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">What am I? an artist? a designer? a sewer or seamtress? a printer? and maker? or... well, a creative. What fits best with you?<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Across from our stall were our friends <a href="http://udessi.blogspot.com/">Kim</a> and <a href="http://www.reneesartwork.com/index.htm">Renee</a>. We know these two talented gals from our <a href="http://boutiquemarkets.blogspot.com/">Boutique market stalls</a> and other gatherings.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">I spent the whole weekend spying Kim's beautiful pieces. Her new necklaces, made from the finest of porcelain with crocheted strands. And the most vividly perfect pinky-sort-of-coloured bowl {like the pink inside a shell, at my grandmas house} - that I knew I should have bought as soon as my eyes spotted it - it was gone not so many moments later! Kim uses doileys to impress onto her clay work, and makes simple and stunning shapes. And soft colours. Colours that your eyes want to look at over and over again. Almost like sugared almonds.<br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Renee's artwork captures detail and subtleties of nature and wildlife. I particularly love her scratchboard pieces; I enjoy seeing how she perfectly captures those sweet little animals with their puffed up wings, or sleepy heads. She notices little things, and is inspired by her surroundings.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We have some of her <a href="http://www.reneesartwork.com/bilby.htm">sleeping bilbys</a>, which the kids love. <br />

</div><a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/blog/">Finders Keepers Brisbane</a> is over. And what fun fun fun we had.<br />
After a busy few weeks, and late nights/early mornings, we were ready. Well, ready as we could ever be!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">It was really nice to have a few quiet hours setting up our stall. Most markets are rush rush at 8am. So, Finders Keepers was a good change.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">When the doors officially opened at mid-day, the quiet ended. The mad rush lasted for a few hours. Danielle behind our stall talking and packing fabric into bags. Me out front talking and making badges and mirrors. I looked up and saw lines of people; everyone happily waiting their turn to feel our beautiful fabric or make a badge or talk about our patterns.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">One lady told me her husband had been pushed out of the line. He didn't have those shopping elbows poked out far enough, and was taking up space! He happily waited until he could get a look in.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We met some fantastic people, had excellent conversations and totally enjoyed ourselves. Thank you to everyone who stopped by; for our friends, blog followers, BrisStyle gals, and our new Selvedge House friends. Talking about fabric and screen printing and our new shop will never get boring, especially when there are so many other interested and excited peeps out there.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Big big big thanks must go to my sister, Sylve, who came along on Saturday to help us out. Not only did she stay until the end (a very late and quiet 9pm), she also brought the best picnic lunch snacks to keep us going the whole day. {Sylve, you really should consider starting a catering business}. We had laughs and fun, the three of us working together.<br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://www.marklobo.com.au/finderskeepers/" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhyPTJLm2KVoj39QE1vTRTnBCEwAehqpqSh-q5Lw9QVDGTU8zjCsunibCQYGuMFDaH8jAqkmuLUef9Kj5Ewl8eNnsQma73j_lhON4PKqlZmNw5OvwVdSq3S2GKFl6kw4bWXJCL-NyE4T4Tl/s400/Picture+8.png" /></a><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">And to Erin, a new friend, who we expect to spend much time and collaboration with, once Selvedge House is open. How excellent to meet someone and straight away be able to chat about similar things, and to know they just "get you" in that way. And, also, to have someone be able to jump behind the selling table and get it right without any assistance. (I used to be a retail manager, and spent many years training and working with other people + their incompetency.)<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We'll try and bring you some more market wrap-up over the next few days. So many other wonderful creatives sharing the space with us. And such a beautiful location.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Can't wait until the next FK!<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*Photo of us three girls is from <a href="http://www.marklobo.com.au/index.php">Mark Lobo</a> - who was the official Finders Keepers photographer. Check his site for more great pics. <br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;">Today has been a sleepy, restful day. Catching up after the long long weekend (and the weeks of prep before hand). I'll get back to proper work tomorrow (and sorting out paperwork, too). But today was a family day. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">I'm just popping in to announce the winner of our follower draw. For those of you who follow our other blogs as well (<a href="http://craftlaboratory.blogspot.com/">Craft Laboratory</a> and <a href="http://petalplum.blogspot.com/">Petalplum</a>), you've received multiple entries. {And <a href="http://clutterpunk.blogspot.com/">Gina,</a> we love blog stalkers}.</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">So, after counting numbers and inputing into random org (no hat pulling today), we've come up with: </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglj_mg4WHu0Pga4LeFrOMfxaRgL1915nk_bXwQUnCylFesEy2tjhw-eIEiqZTBeMgExizhSt0A_P6OhcUbkbs621KHoudWDE7XdWlSqhbUdNQkBogJVmxn5NI02BJg-0TjyhDuA5Zt4yKt/s1600-h/Picture+10.png" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEglj_mg4WHu0Pga4LeFrOMfxaRgL1915nk_bXwQUnCylFesEy2tjhw-eIEiqZTBeMgExizhSt0A_P6OhcUbkbs621KHoudWDE7XdWlSqhbUdNQkBogJVmxn5NI02BJg-0TjyhDuA5Zt4yKt/s320/Picture+10.png" /></a><br />

</div><div style="text-align: justify;"># 108 is Caroline from <a href="http://maikacreations.blogspot.com/">Maika Creations</a>. </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Caroline not only follows our three blogs, she also popped in and saw us on the weekend. Thanks heaps - I love seeing blog friend faces (even though I'm generally terrible at remembering your name and working out where I know you from! Please forgive me if my memory fails...). </div><div style="text-align: justify;">Please email us with your postage details, and we'll sent a little something out to you.<br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">We are going to be doing bi-monthly follower draws from now on, so don't be shy - be a <i>blog stalker</i> (the nicest sort please!). </div><div style="text-align: justify;"><br />
</div><div style="text-align: justify;">*Pear fabric photo was taken by <a href="http://www.marklobo.com.au/index.php">Mark Lobo</a> at the <a href="http://www.marklobo.com.au/finderskeepers/">Finders Keepers</a> on the weekend. A really friendly and very talented guy, with a great eye. We'll have more photos later (or tomorrow), with a <a href="http://www.thefinderskeepers.com/">Finders Keepers</a> wrap-up.<br />
