Where did I go????? Oh, here I am!

OK, I haven't dropped dead, but I have been so busy I can hardly believe it! In the aftermath of the market I did, I had an approach by a national magazine to feature my work (which I am so excited about!!), I opened a new store on Etsy, dividing the clothing and felt foods. The new shop is called Retrology - please feel free to check it out - it's kind of barren right now, but I am busy making some cute kids clothing.

Also, I have had many, many felt food orders coming up to Christmas - a big THANK YOU! to all my wonderful customers out there...

The other major thing I was doing was re-doing my studio to make it a purpose-built sewing space so that next year when Isla is at pre-school 2 days per week I will be making that my work time. All I can say is - thank heavens for IKEA! Here are a couple of pictures of the new, improved space:

My studio - well, kind of...

I have just cleaned up our study / library / storage room / sewing room and made a little studio corner for my knitting, planning, felt food toy making and dressmaking. What do you think? It looks tidy because I've only just re-organised. Oh, and I haven't got most of my supplies in this room either. I am investing in one of those 10-drawer scrapbooking trolleys for my felt, templates and other stuff. This could become a full-time job, this organising!





Oh, and my supplies are kept in this cabinet. As you can see, I have lots of fabric! All of it will be put to good use - hopefully in my lifetime!!!
