So Much Fabric, So Little Time

Is there something wrong with me? I admit it. I am completely obsessed with fabric. Sometimes I find myself sitting in front of this mondo mound of textile divinity with the creative hamster in my brain running on his little wheel, thinking, thinking, thinking...
Is this normal behaviour? I recently met a textile junkie who COMPLETELY understands. Thank you Lisa! And I thought I was completely alone. We have organized a fabric swap of extreme succulence and I am excited!

Happy New Year??

OK So whats the deal with the technology gods and me at the moment? I was beyond horrified when I sat down to get creative yesterday and my imac exploded before my very eyes. Exploded is a strong word, it just went fizzzzzzz and then the screen went blank, and I couldnt turn it back on. I'm devastated. Apple politely inform me that while 2.5 years is not the average lifespan of a $2,400 computer, shit happens. Shit most certainly does happen, and it seems to have happened to me. While I can buy another one, I discovered that my back ups were not quite as comprehensive as one might hope. I know, I know, that part is my fault. How could I have forgotten to back up my website? Oh dear. Anyway, I saw this proverb in a mag and I have decided it will be my mantra for 2009.

Bunny Brooches

When my friend visited recently from Canberra her two little girls (aged 3 and 5) were not too keen to leave the juicy zone. I promised I would send them a treat in the mail (who doesn't love treats in the mail!??) and I just finished these bunny brooches for them.

Wonky Twins

Two new wonky twins, who are nameless at the moment. Made from corduroy, featuring Echino fabric.

Lined Pouch

What do you get when you cross a vintage zipper bought on ebay, a piece of lovely Echino fabric and salvaged denim from an old pair of jeans? A perfect home for a handful of Prismacolor pencils! I'm still trying to master the art of these lined pouches, there is one tricky part when inserting the zipper. I made one a while back that turned out to be the perfect pouch for my digital camera.

New Birthday Card

Here is a very 70s disco-inspired card that will accompany Peta's birthday present. Its always good to test new designs on people! I think she will get a good chuckle out of this mighty 'fro.

More Fabric and Felt

I admit it. I like fabric and felt way too much. This little stash will be used to make my next Wonky batch. Oh, thats right, I still have to finish the other Wonky batch!
