We were "Living Creatively" in Sydney!

After a few days in bed I am finally able to post about our wonderful trip to Sydney last week to the Stitches & Craft Show. I caught a yucky bug that was obviously circulating. Thankfully, it only hit me when I returned home and I didn't have to miss any of the excitement of the Show.

It was so much fun to be a part of the Living Creatively Stand that Angela and her delightful team put together, not only are they a very clever team, they are also extremely lovely and very easy to deal with. I can't wait to see what they are dreaming up now for next years shows!!! Thanks so much to Angela, Anna, Claire, Peta, Emilie, Heidi, and Taryn (I am sure there were more of these lovely girls running about but these are the ones that I got to know quite well). Wish I had photos too, but the camera that I took up with me photographed things so terribly that I had to borrow all these images just so I could have something to post about!!!!

I met so many people that were famous (in blogland, that is) - and it was such an honour to display in the same area with Belinda, who sold the most beautifully made items (there are photos on her blog) and everything was just so cute, Bettina- gorgeous bags and her own printed fabric, Marina who I thought was so amazing as she did all this beautiful sewing and she has just had a baby!!, Kristen - I bought some of her beautiful babushka doll fabric - her fabric is so nice, Nikki - the pocket rocket - swamped by her fans wherever she goes, Justine - Mixtapezine and part time Audrey & Maude sales rep - thanks love, Fi and all her wonderful colours and equally colourful personality, and all the lovely ladies from Dandi, who were so beautifully dressed and so, so petite!!!! We were also lucky enough to have Jade of My Art is My Outlet, as a 'stand in' "Audrey & Maude Sales Assistant" Thanks so much Jade!! It was so lovely to finally meet Jade and Belinda as they were two of the blogs that first got me hooked into blogging!

And I just love this last photo above courtesy of Lulucarter, a picture of Poppy leashed to the clothesline with a bone, her puppies and a bowl full of black cat lollies!!! It just showcases perfectly, Angela's (from Living Creatively) wicked sense of humour!!!!!!
