Welcome to my new blog!!!!!! I've had blogs before but haven't been very good at posting. I am determined to post regularly on this site, well more that the 'once in a blue moon' that I've posted before.
Why have a blog? Good question. The reasons that I want to have a blog is to record all my stitchery and scrapbooking activities. I want to be able to write my thoughts and feelings (especially about my love of craft) and to share the happy and (hopefully not to many) bad times.
Stitchin' and Scrappin':- these are undoubtedly the two most enjoyable activities that I partake in on a regular basis. I do something related to these two crafty pursuits on a daily basis and just don't feel right if I haven't. I may not actually stitch or scrap everyday. But I may roam through websites, read books and magazines, tidy up my craft studio, or just plan new designs either on paper or in my head.
STITCHIN' - I've been sewing stitcheries, making cloth dolls, quilts, wallhangings and cushions for many years. I used to make these solely for myself or as gifts for family and friends. However, a few years ago I decided to start designing my own patterns and now own a pattern business with a online shop. I also sell directly to craft stores. The business is called BRACKLEBERRY GULLY ( a name I chose as it sounded different but also Australian). It's been harder than I thought to get it established..... just doesnt seem to be enough hours in the day. My focus this year is to raise the profile of BRACKLEBERRY GULLY and promote the website. The feedback I've received so far has been very positive.
SCRAPPIN' - Initially I had no interest in this hobby at all.... I just couldn't see the point in it. But after going to a workshop with a friend I became an addict immediately. I now just love it. Where else do you get to play like a child with scraps of paper, glue, stickers, ribbons etc? The amount of interesting people that I've met through this hobby both online and in person and become friends with has been amazing. I've been to workshops and retreats and am going on a scrapbooking cruise in March. I've been given an Honourable Mention in the 2007 Scrapbooking Memories Masters and my layout has been published. I'd never submitted before but plan to submit more work this year.
I think that will do for now. Until next time.
