in stitches in sydney!

I've been in lovely, warm and sunny (so over Melbourne weather this year!) Sydney this past weekend - mainly to see my sister, but also to get to the Stitches and Craft Show. I made my way there on Sunday and thoroughly enjoyed it. I need to say upfront that I forgot my camera - du'oh!

First up was Jodie's (from Vintage Ric-Rac) studio session on blogging. It was really good info, but also one of the most entertaining and funny half hours I've had for ages. That woman is a gem!

Next was Level 4 - the indie crowd. What a wonderful array of talented people. It was vibrant, happy and full of creative inspiration. I was able to meet a whole stack of people who I follow in blogland - Pippijoe, Ink & Spindle, Kristen Doran Design, Sprout Design, Surface Art. Many thanks to everyone for being so friendly and making time for a chat!

Here are a couple of pics of things I bought while there - some lovely remnants from Surface Art and a resin ring from Trove ....

I'm already looking forward to the Melbourne show next year!
