Our Stand (forgot to take off the sheet though)
Me with the lovelies from Ink & Spindle Wow! that was an amazing experience. I have just returned from the Stitches & Craft Show in Sydney, very, very tired, but also very inspired.
Had a fantastic time. Not only did we sell lots of patterns, we also met the best crafters and bloggers. Thanks to everybody that stopped by and said hi and also to those who did my workshops. I think I had more fun in the workshops than the participants did. You can read and see more photos
here.
As some of you may know I have a very unbalanced household - too much testosterone here (not that I would change that!) But I really did enjoy getting away and being immersed with all the wonderful girls that were at the Show. I don't think I have laughed so hard in a long time.
The
Ink & Spindle girls were great to be around. Thanks to Teegs I have now experienced 'vegan' eating - I had always been a bit nervous about trying out 'tofu' - (I actually thought it was a bit of rubber posing as something edible!) and I am happy to report, it isn't and it masquerades as many different things. So thanks girls for teaching me lots of things! I now feel 10 years younger!
Belinda from Tuttifruiti arranged for dinner out for any bloggers that wanted to go in Parramatta on Saturday night. Abouty 20 of us turned up for that and as you could imagine it was very, very noisy (I think that most of the noise was mostly from
Annie and
Jodie though!)
It was a great Show, and I send a big thankyou to Ross, Angela, Anna, Claire, Paul and the rest of the team at
Living Creatively for always being so helpful and friendly (thanks Ross for the staples - you really did save me) . They really do a fantastic Show and their support of all us Indie Crafters is awesome.
I spent a little bit of money too so here is what I bought.
From Ink & Spindle some lovely fabric and handmade soap wrapped in fabric.
