Sewing for our community
|
In early 2020 I had a number of people and companies email asking if I knew how to sew... Sewing is a skill I have had since primary school and I recall my first lesions given by my on her trusty Bernena 830. Fast forward a few years and I was so happy to receive these emails asking if I would be able to make masks for community fundraising groups, students, bus drivers and people who just want something comfortable and fun. I started off making masks and then started making clothing from fabrics people no longer wanted or that was left over from orders.

From the news desk....
Once again its been another busy year! Highlights so far have been the best valentines gift I could ever get - our daughter Isobel! A wonderful addition to our family and we love having her.
In my children free time (in the evening when the house is quiet and they are asleep) I've been working on an event that is coming up at the end of November, a Highland Games style event right here in Wellington called Pipes In The Park. I've really enjoyed putting this event together with a group of people I have met through my times in pipe-banding and I look forward to the day and also having a stall at the market too. Come along - will be a great day!

An update from the studio....
They say "When you become a parent, time gets away from you and time is as precious as the love for your children"
2015 was a very busy year juggling a very active young son, a young puppy that still likes to get into mischief and everyday health and life and somehow trying to keep my art "happening" in the mix of it all.
2015 brought me the opportunity to bring more balance into my life with starting two private commission works that are for a private collector of my works with a completion date of "sometime late 2017 or 2018". I am enjoying the flexibility of the timeframe as I know I will have them finished well in time and not have the stress or pressures of a short timeframe!
2016 has already arrived (where did 2015 go?.... it went FAST) and I am now in the process of tidying up my studio for a few months off to care for our new arrival to the family due in February.
To my family and friends - thank you for the ongoing support and I look forward to the joys 2016 onwards brings us all
