Craft2.0 is having a Birthday!

17 April, 2011 in Uncategorized by Elisabeth | Permalink

I haven’t been very good recently about talking about my upcoming markets, but I really must tell you about what’s happening next Saturday.  I am a huge fan of Craft2.0, both as a shopper, and as a seller.  And this Saturday is Craft2.0′s 5th Birthday.

Craft2.0 Easter 2011 Details

Craft2.0 is a an amazing day, all due to the fantastic work put in by Sue and the wonderful volunteers who help her put it all together and keep it running on the day.  It is also held in a great venue, at the Dowse in Lower Hutt (if by any chance you actually manage to get around and see all the wonderful craft, cupcakes and other goodies on offer, you can take some time out to look at the exhibitions that are happening too).

Head on over to www.Craft2.org to find out more, and while you’re there, why don’t you check out my Meet the Creatives profile.  And tell you what, as a birthday treat, if you come up to me on the day and tell me what my favourite flower is, I’ll give you a special 10% discount on your purchase from my stall.

It’s been a busy weekend, and the weeks leading up to it too! This weekend I was at both Craft2.0 on Saturday, and the Newtown fair on Sunday, and I met so many lovely people at both of them.

I’m working on getting my Felt and Etsy stores up to date at the moment, but in the meantime, if you are keen to check out images of what I’ve been working on, I’m getting photos loaded on The Sewphist’s Facebook Fan page as quickly as possible. You can see excerpts below at the bottom of this page, or click here to go directly to my photo galleries.

If you see anything that you’d like that I don’t have listed on either of my shops yet, drop me a line and I’ll set one up for you.

The rains poured down

I’ve finally broken the sewing drought, and while the rains poured down yesterday I made eleven new notebook covers.

By the end of this week I plan to have turned these fabrics into market tote bags.

Oops, I didn’t get a chance to to a Wednesday Felt Showcase this week. Next week, I promise!

In the meantime, I’ve been shopping for some new fabrics for making notebook covers and tote bags. My stash is growing at an alarming rate, so I need to remember that holidays are over and start sewing again! I would post pictures of the new fabric, but the connection between the camera and laptop is playing up today. :-(

Anyway, I promise I’ll have made something new by the end of this week. Promise!

Also, I’m itching to do a giveaway over on The Sewphist’s Facebook Fan page. I’ve been promising to do it as soon as I get to 100 fans, but those last three are eluding me! So, if you haven’t yet, mosey on over there and become a fan. There’s a link at the bottom of the page. Go on, you know you want to. It’ll put you in the draw for a reusable notebook cover (two to be given away!)

Make it a handmade Christmas!

28 November, 2009 in Uncategorized by admin | Permalink

Here’s an idea: why not get all your Christmas shopping out of the way by the end of the first week of December?

With two great Craft Markets coming up in Wellington this week, it’ll be easily done!

There’s going to be a special pre-Christmas Craft2.0 at the Dowse on the evening of Thursday, 3 December 2009.  Come along and check out what all the best, lovely crafty people in Wellington have been up to.

Then next Saturday, 5 December will be the kristmas knack market.  The knack markets are a great fundraiser held at and supporting Berhampore school.  If you haven’t gone along to the knack yet, you should.  You’ll discover a wonderful community feel, many lovely crafters, great coffee, and the best darn paua fritters you’ve ever had!

I’ll be at both, with special stocking stuffer specials on my Notebook Covers!

This is all very new…

Heh, it’s taken me months to work out how to install the software to set this up, so it might be baby steps at first to get the site looking pretty. 

Anyway, welcome to my new site.  I hope you’ll stick around.  I promise to do my best to keep my posts interesting.
