Seriously stitchy
Gaby makes a moily...
Shearer’s hosted the first Crafty Minx workshop yesterday, which I enjoyed so much – what a crafty bunch of ladies. There were 17 of us, and here’s some images from the morning, which wound up after about two hours of fun playing with scraps. I even found someone willing to teach me to crochet… thanks Bernadette!
Many thanks also go to Joanna for organising and Barbara for letting us run wild in her wonderful shop.
And for those who can’t make it to either of the other two Sydney events at Better Read than Dead next week, Monica Trapaga (owner of the lovely store, Reclaim in Summer Hill) will be hosting a workshop with afternoon tea at 4pm on Sunday 13 December to make things in time for xmas. More details to follow…

Hi Kelly, it’s Gaby (from the top picture). Just wanted to say thanks again for the great workshop! My moily is almost done and I can’t wait to get started on the projects in the book. Do you have a flickr group for the Crafty Minx? I’m sure people would love to show you their finished products.
Hi Gaby – I don’t have a Flickr group but do send along pics and I’ll try to pop them up on the blog. Thanks for coming along, too… it was so lovely to meet everyone.
