Quick Trip to NZ!


We just had a wonderful weekend on the South Island of New Zealand.
Lots of fantastic scenery as usual. We were lucky enough to have heaps of snow to play in yesterday, around Oxford, not far from Christchurch.
A vast difference to Brissy weather today. Great to be home - and back to work and to my big kids that were left at home.
Lots and lots of orders to pack from the weekend - thank you!
To the left is Arthurs Pass - we drove through on Saturday from the West Coast - the mountains looks so pretty all dressed in white.

Revamp - Recycle!


Have a funky chair that needs revamping? We have a huge range of home decor fabrics perfect for the job!
If you love red like me, we have a category just for you - Red, Red, Red!
Here you can see Paula Prass - Flights of Fancy looking fab on a tub chair - what a great way to spice up that 80s icon!
I received a lovely comment from the talented Paula Prass today. Paula says this is a slip cover for the tub chair - I am sure you will agree - it just looks devine. Here is a link to Paula's blog if you want to learn more about this talented designer. http://paulaprass.blogspot.com/

What a fab way to use all those bits and pieces - I just love the look of these patchwork egg chairs!





.........and if you are like me and the thought of tackling such a large job just seems too hard, you can always spice up an old chair with a cushion!

Anna Maria Horner is back!



We have restocked Anna Maria Horner's home decor range, Drawing Room. We have sold out of this range quite a few times now! So glad another order has arrived.
Beautiful quality medium weight cotton sateen. This is just perfect for most home decor uses, as well as quilting and funky wearables.
We have added a few photos for inspiration, photos from Anna Maria Horner's blog.




















I love this combination of blue and green. My mother made Dad a pair of boardies from this - and he looks very funky!











This is one of our lovely customer's creations. Susie made a wonderful wipes cover with our beautiful Red Kimono Fabric by Oilily. Sadly we only have a little left in the red colourway. We also have this available in blue. http://www.funkyfabrix.com.au/ (Euro fabric category)
Introducing Made by Miffy - The Saucy Apron Collection!
This very funky patterns will be arriving in store this week.
Designed and printed in Australia - we love supporting Australian made!
