Marketing

Just a note to say I'm having a stall this (Sat) afternoon at the Cassette Super Markets, at Cassette No. 9 on Vulcan Lane, from 12-5. Stop in and say hi if you're in town!

Ghostly folk

Some new ghostly people who will hopefully, one day, be turned into paintings. If you squint your eyes, you can see the traces of a third ghostly figure hovering above them...spooky!

Autumnal

I love the way the light changes in Autumn. You know it's time for an extra blanket, thinking about knitting yourself something before Winter, and foraging for feijoas.





Lately I've been eyeing up this abandoned chair near my house. I really like its Autumnal-coloured upholstery fabric...what's left of it anyway. I wish I had some upholstery skills so I could rescue it!

At long last...

After years and years and years of talking about it, I've finally had a silk screen made up with all the images I like to print on it, so I can print much more precise images than I could with handcut stencils.

It's hard to get a good photo of it, but you get the idea!

So now there's going to be much more of this going on at my house:

Huia patches on Felt and bits and pieces

I made a whole lot of my huia patches the other day, and I've listed some of them in my Felt shop. They're screenprinted this time, rather than gocco printed - I've been finding screenprinting a bit less hit or miss than using the gocco on fabric. This is part of my fundraiser for Christchurch, with all proceeds from my Felt shop this month going to the Red Cross earthquake appeal.

Ms R.W. Scissors has kindly compiled a list of a whole lot of fundraisers for Christchurch, including some crafty folk, which you can find here.

Oh and look at this gorgeous Bird in a Bunny Suit card I got at Kraftbomb! We did a card swap...

What a sweetie.

Just a note to say

I'll be selling my wares at Kraftbomb tomorrow...It's going to be a busy sewing night tonight at Millicent Crow HQ!

Quake

My heart goes out to everyone affected by Tuesday's earthquake in Christchurch; it is just so, so sad.

We have been trying to work out what we can do to help; from now until the end of March, I will donate all proceeds from sales in my Felt shop to the New Zealand Red Cross 2011 Earthquake Appeal. Mr Millicent Crow is going to donate 100% of his CD sales from the shows he's playing this weekend.
