Been Sick and Doin’ Stuff..

June 14, 2007



The dreaded gastro bug has ripped through our lovely house.. creating a couple of hollow people… But we’re on the mend and keeping busy to keep our spirits up!
Not one to sit quiety and throw up… we felt that things are always better if you can finish the day having made some choc-chip cookies, embroidered a Babushka and got a surprise Figgjo lidded soup bowl in the mail!
We also bundled up heaps of Aunty Cookie’s gorgeous DEER fabric for sale… by the half metre.. and lots more of MIKES own Vintage Fabric Bundles! Come and get ’em (the rent is due!)..
Just as an aside… Anyone shopping between now and Monday who mentions our dreaded impending rent gets a discount! And a hug. And even a cup of tea! Those big city sales are knocking us about a bit.. so if you love us.. please visit us this weekend!
Embroidery night is all booked out.. but we are planning an encore already.. so stay tuned! And thanks for all the lovely tutorial tips! Be featured in our blog side-bar and send yours in!

    Hello, just thought you might like to know that your soup cup is actually a cup for pickled herring (‘Sild’) ๐Ÿ™‚ I really love those designs. My friend’s parents had loads of it!x

    Mmmm, Mahlie had gastro, too. I didn’t quite know what to do with a sick baby! Then I broke my toe! Can you believe it? I, too, hate sitting around…perhaps I will bake my own cookies.x

    So sorry to hear you are all feeling unwell – do hope you have a speedy recovery despite the freezing weather.

    I hope to pop in Monday morning with 2 happy chibi girls (and at least one of my real happy chibi girls :-)) and hopefully take home some lovely stuff from Mike’s!
