Extra Curricular

You've probably seen other fellow crafters (especially in New Zealand) blogging about the release of the new Extra Curricular magazine... Mine arrived in the post today (thanks postie!), and I'm excited to have a good read of it, but that'll have to wait 'til the weekend. It's a sweet wee mag 'for and about people getting creative with their spare time'. It's available on Felt here, but be quick, it was a limited print run of 500!

There's also a Felt advert on the inside back cover, with one of my bamboo necklaces. Thanks to Lucy who always does an awesome job of getting Felt's name out there.

Christmas is coming!

Eeek, the weeks are flying by far too fast, and Christmas is rapidly approaching. Need some ideas for (handmade) Christmas gifts? Check out the Felt Christmas Gift Guide, separated into categories to make it easy to find the perfect gift. If you're from overseas, or posting to friends overseas, the Christmas postage deadlines are also fast approaching...

I'm flat out at the moment, filling orders and getting stock ready for The Night Market on December 3rd. If you're in Christchurch come along, say hi, and have a browse at all the talented crafters from around here. I'll have more info on the market closer to the time, but am excited and working on a few new products to tempt you all!

Absent...

Sorry, been a bit absent lately... just a quick update to say hi, I'm still alive. Nothing to say, just needing some time and simpleness while thinking things through.

Love this photo, I wish it was me. Something to brighten your day in case you're feeling like me. (Photo title is purely coincidental I promise!)

Lucky me!

A few weeks back I was lucky enough to win a competition over on Jess of Bam Bam Creative's blog. A won this super sweet 'Babe In The Wood' wall embellishment, which is now happily on our office/studio wall. She also threw in some wee heart magnets, so I'm super lucky!!! Thanks Jess!

Want one for yourself (I know you do)!? Here's a link to her Etsy shop.

Jess is not only a super clever crafter, but she's just started a new blog, Penny In My Purse, about saving a bit of money where you can. It's good reading so head on over and check it out.

Now in store in Auckland

You can now find my goodies at the Uxbridge Arts Store, 35 Uxbridge Road, Howick. Check them out if you live in Auckland, or on the web here. Yippee!

I heart

Heard of Moo?

Excited? Yes I was... when my Moo Minicards arrived in the mail on Saturday! I hope you've heard of Moo, but just in case... they are a printing company based in the UK and US (the UK store ships worldwide). Minicards are so cool - you can choose up to 100 images for a 100 pack, for the front of the cards, and customise the back with text (the white card is the back of my ones). They're only wee - 28mm x 70mm, so perfect for giving out to people or popping into orders.

If you're a new customer try entering this code 2RB2CK at the checkout for 15% off.

Off to see (500) Days Of Summer tonight, yay!
