2010 - Here I Come!

This is what I mean when I say 'sure as eggs' - it took a week from being a tiny seed of a thought in my (tiny) brain to being 500 finished brochures that needed picking up from the printers!

(click to look inside)

I'm thrilled with how the brochure presents
and seems to be working 
 as I'm getting a steady flow of interested people booking classes

I am soooo excited to be able to share what I do with everyone in the comfort of my studio - creating magic behind french doors with morning tea under the Jacaranda & maybe lunch under the Peppermint - 
huh who am I kidding once the girls get started they don't want to stop, not even to eat!
It's been a dream for a very loooong time so when opportunity knocked I grabbed it and now I'm not letting go!
There's still a bit to do before I'm ready however I've already arranged the furniture in my mind (half of which I don't have yet!) 
and there's Christmas to get through but having already proved on numerous occasions that all is possible 
I'm very excited for the 8.1.10!

Patience is a virtue

I am constantly astounded at how much I learn from my kids - when I take the time to look it's usually always the little moments that speak the loudest.

Stella waited very patiently for her turn (last) at Pin the Tail on the Horse

and her calm diligence was rewarded with a 'bulls-eye'!
(nothing to do with the very thin scarf they used as a blindfold)

I know it's not about winning but how we play the game - this one is very good at playing the game so I'm prepared for years of note taking.

Playing with Patterns #1

Thanks girls, I had fun!

Today was the last day of the very first
Playing with Patterns Workshop.
We (6 x dynamic women + me) have spent every Thursday morning for the past 6wks cutting, slashing, sewing & swearing our way through metres of vylene, calico & some seriously gorgeous fabrics.
We've eaten a bakerys-worth of yummy home-baked slices (thanks Jo) washed down with the odd cuppa while chatting about everything from babies to the cost of car insurance.

Not everyone was in the photo shoot today - we'll sort that out next Thursday though, when we kick off another 6wks of eating, chatting, laughing, cutting, slashing and sewing!
