If you like Pina Coladas

and getting caught in the rain…

Then you just might want to join the newly-married Melly, the gorgeous Rosalie and the talented Simone for Urban stitches 2013.

For the first time Urban stitches will also be travelling to Sydney ! Totally  Awesomesauce in my book …it has been far far too long since I caught up with the Sydney crafty folk.  Urban Stitches will be in Melbourne on the 16th and/or 17th March at the Novotel Glen Waverley, and in Sydney on the 23rd and/or 24th March at the Novotel Darling Harbour.  That is two crafty weekends in a row for me (might have to have a preparatory detox and a few early nights before then).

Melly and Rosie have cooked up a "Pyjama, Pizza and Pina Colada" event on the Saturday night, so if you are coming to either Sydney or Melbourne for the weekend you might want to get your name down for that….I have no idea what they have planned, but my mind is racing.

For more info go you can pop over here for a sticky beak. Melly tells me that Urban Stitches sold out in a flash last year so you may want to head on over to Under the Mulberry Tree and get booking.(You can even pay in instalments)

Of course for your dollars you get four fully kitted designs, yep the patterns, the fabrics, the whole kit and caboodle, gorgeous foods and tuition from three great designers. As is my want I usually have to buck the system and offer teenager raising advice, life coaching or marital counselling instead…My stitchery does not stand up under scrutiny in such company , but I will do my best.

( You know, I’m thinking a new underpants embroidery is needed for the occasion.…any suggestion? )

Worth the wait.

woolly

These are some of the wools I have been playing with for a new project for the Daylesford Craft Experience this year. Have you booked in yet? Places are filling up super fast so I would get on the phone if I were you and secure your spot or you may very well miss out. You can get a table together or come on your own, it won’t matter. You will be sure to have fun ! Of course there is a real designer coming along as well. Natalie of Cinderberry stitches will be designing projects for the first day as well as running a master class on the second day.

Held in the beautiful Peppers retreat, it really is an indulgent day , hanging out with other crafty types. I will be designing some projects for Saturday and hanging out, along with Natalie and the gorgeous Kate of Fox’s Lane who is coming along to speak crochet. I’ll be waxing lyrical about running a micro business as well apparently. Even though it is “technically” work for me – A day of chatting and stitching is really nothing like work at all and I can’t wait !
