Taking a breather
Calm before the storm....Moopy waiting for the guests to arrive... About 20 minutes after this photo was taken my little studio was packed full of eager toy fans.... even Kirsty & Kristen made the trip over ... oh and of course Fiona too! (Audrey & Lily ran around all night together, giggling and terrorising the guests... in a cute way!) I was so busy chatting and putting orange spots on sold toys ... I forgot to get my camera out so I don't have any pics of the opening night..dang!! Family and friends have taken some thankfully, so I will try to track them down. But don't worry.....
I will set up the online Morphe II shop (even though I said I wouldn't ... it is a lot of work.. but hey, it would be a shame for those of you who are super keen to buy some toys, to miss out) ...so with 100 or so photos to take and upload... we should be ready to go! The good news for those not living in Adelaide.... I am aiming to have the online shop filled with the toys made lovingly by all your favourite designers in the Morphe II exhibition, close of business here in Adelaide 5:30pm Sunday October 15.
And in other news... a Morphe II mook is being put together!! I know. FUN!... gorgeous photos, adorable toys and patterns!! it will be available early early 2007 .... I will no doubt be keeping you posted. There is also a Peoples Choice Award.... I will let you know more about that too, basically you can all pick your fave toy (I will have them catalogued with a number so please don't tell me yet!!)... and if you are the 10th person to pick the Peoples Choice toy you win a copy of the mook plus an owl/kitten or bird that I have made and more importantly the designer of that toy features front and centre in the mook.
Well that's it for me this week... I am taking a breather ... sorry to those who I STILL owe mail/emails too... I will get back to it next week.
and as I said don't worry, literally 100 more pics to come!
Oh it all looks so wonderful...gorgeous toys and that tree...really beautiful!!! Wish i could see it live!!

Congratualtions. What a show:) I wish I lived in your country just so I could come for opening night. By the way I love the little top on your beautiful daughter. My mother made ones like that for me when I was a small child. Can't wait to see the rest of the pics:)
