Winner, winner, winner!

Thanks to all of you lovely ladies for taking part in the giveaway! I really appreciate your support. We had an anonymous comment with no email address at number 3 so that means that the lucky winner is...Natalie!!!   I have sent you an email, so please let me know what you would from the range asap as my lovely husband has sold my sewing table and the boxes are piling up as we speak for our relocation to Leschenault in the South West! Luckily we still have a dining room table so I can still sew and create on that.

To everyone else, please keep up to date with what we are doing with Izzy B as I have some wonderful ideas for creations once I have access to more fabrics and delights. Thanks to the wonderful people of Hedland for getting started on this creative journey. It has been a blast so far, and I just love making things!

The Big Move

Well our family is down to our last few weeks in our wonderful town of Hedland and I am wondering if I have bitten off more than I can chew! Of course I have - that is just the way the cookie crumbles! But that is what makes life fun and exciting! We are preparing for a monumental move - to put it into context, the distance would be equivalent to that of moving from England to Spain, and that is pretty massive. Phil and I both arrived independently here of each other with not much to our name. We leave with a family and a household of "stuff" that we have managed to accumulate.  As the packing goes on, I am clinging onto my sewing and craft stuff till the last minute. Luckily I am able to keep this out as I have a legitimate claim - I am having my last market stall for a while at the wonderful West End Markets. I can't wait. I had such a wonderful time I decided to go for it and sew like crazy for one more. These are run by FORM who also run the Port Hedland Courthouse Gallery. They have been great for me personally. We had a wonderful course last time to help us with pricing and it has really helped me along the way (see my previous blog entry). 

Well I would love to go on, but I have been told to go to bed early as I had a late one last night sewing and pricing up for a wholesale order.  Things are ticking along nicely and I am grateful for each and every achievement.

just realised I had been remiss and not posted any of the WONDERFUL photos from the photoshoot we had last month.  Nicole Yardley from Nicole Yardley Photography took some amazing shots and they have helped to get my brand out to a larger audience because of the WOW factor her photography has given my products. Thanks so much Nicole - you ROCK!!! She will be launching her site soon - watch out for it. www.nicoleyardley.com
