Getting Beachy

Loving this Sprout Design Fabric fishy lampshade, now in our Store in Palm Beach, Gold Coast.

Cool grass greens and navy make this very collectable, (the Sprout Fabrics are now in retirement sadly), but the prints will last a long time.

I get soo excited with the prospect of fabric bolts arriving on my doorstep.  When I hear the delivery van, pulling into our drive, I cant get to the door fast enough.  I quickly sign for the parcels and in I go..........Where are my scissors to open the parcels, in a fit of frantic excitement - usally nowhere to be seen, the kids have used them for an art project the night before and left them where I cant find them!!

Is it Christmas yet!!

I know im sad, but im the person in the shop on Christmas Eve with my list in my hand, my hair a mess wondering where all the good stuff has gone!!

SO this year, after chasing my tail for the past 6 months, I am proud to say I am actually AHEAD of myself for a change. It doesnt happen often, in fact it has never really happened. Oh hang on -I can hear you thinking, " shes 8 1/2 months late for Christmas".

In fact the reality of it all is that there are about 14 weeks until Santa appears out of the Air Con Unit!! (down the chimney for others in cooler climates).

I have this fabulous range of Christmas fabrics ~ Sherri Berry Holiday - they are just so cute and the colours are so pretty. Something a little different from the usual i feel. I have 5 designs at present in stock and will be adding a bundle in the next couple of days to the store.

So for now ~ let it snow - let it snow - let it snow. and Merry Chirstmas - just in case i forget nearer the time.

Intermission

Phew that was another busy week.

Does anyone remember this test card from the olden days of TV, we had it in the UK when there wasnt anything to watch, I think it dates back to the late 1960s, ooh how time flies.

Anyway, my on line store is having an over haul so to speak and we plan to be off line for a short while, we'll have an intermission. hense the test card.

I shall keep blogging and hopefully all will come good When September Comes - so until then, I shall keep you posted.

I think i always wanted to be that little girl!!

Bye for now

Retro scalloped edge Oilcloth tablecloth

Red/white polka dot scalloped edge

I have made today a lovely retro scalloped edge tablecloth.

I originally made this for a birthday party to cover my occasional table, so we wouldnt get too many drinks stains. The table size is about 1m x 1m sqare and this hung over nicely.

Friends all commented on how great this was, and all wanted one too in various colours and sizes. So here it is, a pic of one side. It looks esspecially gorgeous in the pink with the white polka dots, so shabby chic, but i love this retro dot.

I have now added this colourway to my store, and at $35.50 per metre, would make a superb gift or treat. I can make them from 1/2 metres upwards, and in any of the Mexican Oilcloth designs, as they hang beautifully. And great for the non-sewers amongst us. Something ready to use straight away.

Have a gorgeous day, the sun is shining.

How to make Canvas Wall Art

Easy Instructions on how to make a Canvas Wall Art.
What you will need for the job.

Allow 1 hour for your first. A blank canvas ~ available at the cheapie shops. 1m square is approx $25.00 Fabric - enough to cover all round, allow an extra 20cm in length and width. Craft Stapler and staples
Scissors
Tape measure
Cord or tape to hang your finished artwork

E.g. 1m square canvas, i would need 1.20m length of fabric by 1.20m wide (most furnishing fabrics are 1.35 or more wider.

1. Remove all creases from the fabric.

2. Lay the fabric face down on a clean surface.

3. Place the blank canvas face down on top of the fabric.

4. Position the design to suit, making sure there is enough fabric for edges and turnover .

5. Start at the top and in the centre and gently staple out towards the edges every 3cms or so, stopping about 5cms from the corners.

6. Repeat for the botton, pulling the fabric taught, up till 5cms from corner.

7. Staple the left side firmly by do not pull tight up till 5cm from corner.

8. Staple the righthand side pulling taught, up till 5cm from corner.

9. Neatly fold and staple each corner, trying not to leave any bulges.

Once you have completed one canvas then the next is even easier.
