moopy & me

You asked for it

Many of you here in Adelaide ask me, when you visit the studio, if I do adult classes.... and I always reply, no...

But I had a wise customer come in this weekend and convince me that the adults were indeed the people who needed the classes not the children... as you know children are artists! fair point I must say.... So no I am not cancelling the art classes for children but I am introducing craft & zakka classes for adults. I am really excited about this, so much so that I am posting about it before I have even finalised the calendar. Watch this space over the next day or so for a downloadable calendar with all the details.

I know for sure that we will be making toys and designing fabric.... and there will be classes for every ability, including beginners in which your little tot can come along with you.... there will be free patterns and discounted fabric... oooh I have so many ideas...

Sprouting again

A little taste of what is to come..... there are a few more.... I for one can't wait to make myself or Lily a dress out of the hearts. I will show you the real fabrics in two weeks!!...these images are pics of my artwork & not fabric ..(reproductions of Pamela Walker originals for SproutDesign)

SproutDesign will be taking pre orders soon... I will keep you posted. I have to say the whole Autumn/Winter 2007 collection of 12 fabrics looks amazing together...  my head is spinning with ideas. I can't wait to put the shop together online and offline..right Bek!! 

SproutDesign has taken things slowly but surely over the past year, with Bek and I both having other careers to mind as well as our lovely little sprouts Lily & Ruby... As most of you know with young children, slowly really is the only way...even though I know Bek and I would love to have had everything running sweetly yesturday... the career/mum juggle is less of a juggle and more of a joy that way.... we hope you enjoy what we have created as much as we have enjoyed putting it together... stay tuned!

Happy Easter

If you forgot to get someone special a choccy this Easter, why not print this up on some nice paper and give them a card/print instead...

Thank you for all the MiniMoopy love, I am both surprised and humbled by all of your emails, kind words of encouragment and of course purchases.

Have a lovely long weekend

Panic stations

Wow! I had no idea so many of you were still wanting to make Mini-Moopy's. Thank you.

As lots of you have noticed I removed the freebee from my blog the other day..... now I am swamped with emails asking how you can get it... I did start replying to your emails, but I think now is the time to simply state here, you can purchase my patterns from here along with the STITCH IT Owl pattern + fabric. If you are in desperate need of the MiniMoopy pattern for Easter just email me your receipt number and I can email you back the PDF while you wait for the hard copy via snail mail. The hard copy comes with a few lovely scraps that I have been collecting from my own toy making. (Remember to pop a pic of your Mini-Moopy on Flickr)

Can someone on my mailing list do me a huge favour and let me know if you got an update just now?? thank you

Update Following Morning :: Nicola has made a MiniMoopy Pool over at Flickr, isn't she sweet. You can join up if you like with all your little MiniMoopy friends that you make.
