Just passing....

... in between surfing lessons and post-Christmas shopping (teenager has gift vouchers burning holes in her pockets!) and thought I'd share one of my favourite Christmas presents. I love receiving handmade gifts, especially when it's something you would have bought for yourself if you'd ever seen it yourself...I thank my sister for being so clever and brave!

Santa

Last class for the year!

We were a couple down as they had commitments elsewhere however we who were 'commited' (or perhaps should be) swapped our Santa presents over morning coffee. I did very well (thankyou Veronica, my necklace goes with EVERYTHING!) and gather from the discussions that were happening, everyone else felt the same way about their respective gifts. We're an intuitive bunch us Re-inventors!

I'm going to waffle a little now, so you can leave if you like (have a look at the Re-invented Garments link on the right before you go).

In all sincerity & from the bottom of my heart I have enjoyed sharing the Zen of Re-inventing with everyone who has thought it a good idea and taken the time (& spent the money) to join me at the Art Centre over the years.
As much as you may have gained from the experience you can treble that for me. I love the challenge that each of you bring to class, whether you're new to Re-inventing or a dedicated follower...and at this point I'd like to take the time to acknowledge & thank you all, as it has absolutely & utterly without question been my pleasure!

Have a FANTASTIC CHRISTMAS and I hope that 2009 brings all of us everything we wish for and maybe just a little bit more!

...and she is ABSOLUTELY gorgeous!

 

I spent a couple of hours with them last week and can verify she doesn't cry....she smiles & purrs in her sleep! They are all over the moon, very happy family, Kylie is in love with her baby girl, looking like the cat that got the cream...it's a beautiful thing. 

Blushouse at Bazaar

Finally! Georgina has worked soooo hard to get to this point and it was wonderful to be part of the Bazaar experience and to witness the enthusiasm that her designs generate. I held the fort during the earlier part of the day and was overwhelmed at stages with people literally throwing garments at me to put in bags! I don't know that it was like that all weekend however it was gratifying & self satisfying for me to play my small part in the scheme of things.
I don't know that I miss it, in fact I do know I don't miss the whole market-thing, it was nice today and I'd do it again, just not regularly like in the deep dark past. Another nice aspect to the day was that I got to reconnect with a couple of familiar faces, who if they're listening (and they know who they are!) I'd love to keep in touch with.
I'm going to include a bigger better photo of Georgina...just 'cause she's lovely!

Bazaar

These are destined for Georginas pitch at Bazzaar on Friday. The style is deliciously simple made from light cottons with Georginas quirky screenprints to shake them up abit.
