we made it!

The clock ticked 5pm and there were cheers all round ("with love" as Jodie said) ... we had all made it through the five days of the Stitches and Craft Show!

So how was it? For a first timer, like me, it was fun, exciting, interesting, full of lovely people, an excellent opportunity to get some feedback on what I make, but above all, it was wonderful to be surrounded by/talk to like-minded and extremely talented people. The Incubator is an amazing space - it was a privilege to be part of it, and a dream come true considering I was just a interested bystander a year ago. Here are a few more pics of some of the clever people I've spent the last 5 days getting to know, laughing with and generally having a wonderful time ...




Tegan & Lara - Ink & Spindle


Michaela (Wren's Nest) and Gemma (Oz Handmade) (who was the best neighbour ever!)

There were lots more people that I didn't get to take a photo of, but I am sure you will see many more pics around blogland. Thankyou to all of the lovely bloggers and blog-lurkers who stopped for a chat - it is just the best to put a face to the blog! That's it from me on the show ... normal transmission will resume tomorrow! 

P.S. I hope everyone enjoyed Mother's Day!
