Lavender

I have done some Lavender block prints for my friend Keriann over at Sweet Mary. I am very pleased with the results, especially when she gave me one of the lavender bags. Hopefully I should have some of the fabric available for sale some time soon.

Roses and Hats

At the moment here at Coulter and Coulter, I have been busy playing about with some ideas I had for Napier Rose fabrics. As usual what started out as an attempt to be subtle, turned out to be something quite different, and I love it.
I have also been getting more hats completed and ready to be listed for sale on Felt. The hat below has been made from a beautiful vintage french fabric.
The other half of Coulter and Coulter has been busy in the garage making a display stand for my Christmas items. I will have pictures very soon, I hope.

Talking about Christmas

Since I mentioned Christmas in my last post I thought you might like a sneak peak at what we are planning for the festive season.

Still busy

Its been a while since our last post. We have been kept really busy, preparing for the Craft Market, getting new ideas off the ground and thinking about Christmas. Yes the big X is on its way again.

Vintage fabric Hats

To make our lovely recycled bags, which are given away with purchase instead of brown paper bags, I have been collecting a lot of beautiful vintage fabrics. Trawling the internet and fossicking through op shops - I know, its hard work but somebody has to do it. I have found some really lovely bits and pieces. While sewing up another batch of bags ready for the next craft market I suddenly had an idea. Summer hats, we all need them down here in the Southern hemisphere and what a fantastic use of the oddments of vintage fabrics I have been collecting. Keep an eye on our Felt shop, I will be listing them there in the next couple of days.

Another sucessful Craft and Design Market

After a busy week of preparation it was another fun and successful Saturday morning at the Craft and Design Market. My stall still needs a bit of tweaking before I will be happy with its layout, but I think we are getting there. I was really happy to be beside Keriann from Sweet Mary and Perry with his wonderfully creative bird houses. If you missed us we will be back again outside Hawthorn Coffee Shop, Havelock North, on Saturday 22 October.

Busy, busy, busy again.

Tomorrow the Craft and Design market is being held, outside Hawthorne's Coffee Shop in Havelock North. As usual I have been busy, busy, busy. Sewing, printing, ironing, organising and tweaking my products ready for the day. I would love to see you there, please drop by and say hi. I will be the frazzled person in the corner.
