Sew nutty!

I feel like I have been hiding away from the real world for years! but it has only been a couple of weeks and all I was really up to was sewing my toosh off for Claire's & my exhibition at the TinCat Cafe (opening THURSDAY night NOT Friday!! sorry to those who I told it was friday, I hope you can still make it). I feel like I am at least a month behind in all my other work.... I feel like I am getting 'fed up' vibes from those of you waiting for emails & parcels... all I can say is THANK YOU all for your patience I truely appreciate it and I will definately get to you very very soon. Do you believe me?

Well as quickly as I got the house in to some kind of order... yep you guessed it, it is back to the pig sty it was.... and Chris did't feel so good about an exam so is sitting it again on Friday, so that means the stress levels around here are creeping up to dangerous levels... School is out for the summer next week so I have a million loose ends to tie up at the ArtRoom ... art to send home (organise)... enrolments to sort out.... my shop is bare so maybe some sewing??? oh and then there is that little thing about getting my all three of my wisdom teeth out this time next week... The last time I went under a general I woke up thinking the nurses were handing around a tin of chocolates (that have not been production for at least 10 years so in other words I was imagining things) and wouldn't give me any!! I wonder what that says about my psychi.... I think I even told the nurse who was caring for me that I loved her.... Yes I am one of those happy drunks.

Ok enough whining .... here are some pics of what I have been up to of late

I will take close ups of Claire's paintings so that you can all have a giggle.... she is so funny.

Please don't email to ask if these are for sale, thank you. They are part of a bricks and mortar cafe/gallery exhibition here in Adelaide.. not cyberspace.... if there happens to be some left overs I will definately let my mailing list know.

Oh my, you've been busy! I finished my first ever softie* this past weekend, you were my inspiration.

My hubby and I are planning a trip to Adelaid around 19 Jan. for my birthday. Do you know if you'll have any softies on display at the Nest? I'd love to be able to see some of your work in person.

Cheers,
Danielle

What wonderful, gorgeous work! Love the transitions from art to sewn product - makes one need to hug them! (need to hug them = fantastic work!) Wonderful post!

[Shell]

Oh my gawd! Your new stuff is absolutely fantastic! You continually go from strength to strength in terms of your designs. I love them so much!

I hope the stress levels drop soon - I bet being at this time of year doesn't help a lot either. Good luck with the show!

[Alison]

Your softies are adorable, as is your little one! I get a kick out of coming across people in cyberspace who are from my part of the world - I live in Mt G, have since high school. Love your work, one day I hope to get to see yours and Claire's work IRL!

[Esa]

Hi Karly, your work just gets better and better everytime I see it. The girls and puppies are divine, so loveable! You rock!

[Tiel S-K]

The birds, the birds...I'm so in love with those birds. It reminds me of a drawing I did recently with the baby bird on the back the mummy bird! Your work is so amazing...you have been so busy!

[natascha]

These are fantastic!! I wish you all the best in the exhibition!!

[Emmms]

Those are marvellous -- in the actual sense of the word! I especially dig the fringe, it's almost exactly like mine in real life!
