Sydney Stitches & Craft Show

I'll be here from Wednesday 'till Sunday selling my crafty stuff and chatting to passers by. If you are coming, drop by the Living Creatively stand and say hi!
Show special: limited edition matryoshka doll calico bag just $8 (only 50 printed and I'm keeping one myself!)

Launch of 'winter nest' available at the Stitches & Craft Show.



And because everyone is so supportive here in blogland and not all of you live in Sydney... leave a comment to go in the draw to win a Matryoshka doll calico bag and some other goodies. I'll let you know the winner next Monday.

The winter-nest fabric looks gorgeous. ALthough i'm sure they'll sell super-fast i was thinking to myself that I hope you don't sell those cute (and super-cheap!) bags at the show - I want one.

Guess this means you'll have to make up a heap or loverlyness for your shop? Please?

Enjoy the show.

Even if this weren't a drawing, I would tell you how much I love that Winter's Nest Fabric. My dad is a watercolor artist and it reminds me of his subjects - but in a warm, hospitable fabric.
Love it! The bag makes me smile.
