Some images of lovely things I have purchased from Felt recently - for me or for gifts. As always the quality of the products is amazing and the creativity behind their making is out of this world.
Merry Christmas everyone xx

Shop Updated and some new ladies
I have just loaded a number of bobbi pin sets in my Felt store. These make great Christmas presents or will add something special to a Christmas season outfit.
I have also loaded some 'Encore' by Songbird Designs bobbi pin sets, made with some of the most beautiful vintage buttons. I have hair ties and rings to come in some of these delightful buttons coming soon!
Also, take a sneak peak at a few of the new items (I know who makes new at Christmas time...) coming to Songbird Designs soon in bookmarks and pendant necklaces...

Craft 2.0 - What a day!
Craft 2.0 and the Wellington Road Trip were fantastic.
I met so many lovely people - stallholders and customers. Put faces to names, and caught up with some lovely crafty peeps I had met before.
The New Dowse is a lovely gallery and provides a great space for a fair. There were points of interest for everyone.
I had my lovely mother to help for the day and thank goodness as it was busy from the moment it opened to the minute it closed.
Songbird had a really successful day and it was a great kick-off to the Christmas season.
I was really tired when I got home but it was all worth it.
Sue and her team of organisers do a fantastic job at getting the fair going and getting the punters there. A big thanks to everyone involved.
As usual my camera action is nothing to write home about but I do at least have some photos - which is an achievement in itself.

Wellington Road Trip!
Songbird is heading out on a road trip first thing in the morning.
Cat Taylor and I are boarding a plane (early) and heading to our nation's capital for Craft 2.0.
I can't wait - this trip follows our first road trip to Christchurch earlier in the year for A Craft Affair. This time we are (sensibly) not trying to do it all in one day.
My lovely mother is coming to help so we can get a look around and take a toilet break!
I have the camera packed and will take as many photos as I can and post here on Monday.

And another while.....
No excuses for blog neglect other than VERY busy with life and Christmas Market preparation.
I have also had some large retail orders which has kept me busy. Feltaid also still continues - the store will be open till 31st October so lets get it as empty as we can.
This weekend marks the start of the Christmas Market schedule. I have listed (am listing on the right hand side of the blog) all of the markets I am going to over the next two months. I am a couple short on last years schedule so if you know of any that would be good for me, comment below or flick me an email!
This weekend is the last Crafternoon Tea. It is also Crafternoon Tea's first birthday! This market has been good to Songbird and I am sorry to see it go. All the best Luisa and thanks for all of your hard work and efforts on our behalf. Hope we can give you a good send off and birthday celebration this Saturday.
I have loads of new necklaces both Scrabble Tile and framed pendants, heaps of new earrings and clips plus Christmas Cards and Tags all available between now and Christmas. Make sure if you want to get some pieces for Christmas Presents, that you join my mailing list as I will be having list only specials offered to only mailing list members in the lead up to Christmas.
Hope you are all well out there.

Its been a while
It has been a while since I blogged. I have been thinking about it a lot but have also been totally preoccupied with work, family and feltaid!
To say that working on feltaid has been rewarding is sort of an understatement. While it has been a lot of work and time, the outcome (so far) has well exceeded my expectations and really has showed how amazing the craft community is. People have contributed what they can - that has come in all shapes and sizes from items to time to promotion. Its awesome.
I have also been busy delivering 2 large retail orders. One to my friends at MIXT and the other to a new retailer - Acorns of Clevedon. This is a lovely shop. Diane the owner has lovely taste (if I do say so myself!) and the shop is filled with exquisite things,. If you are out that way, Acorns is a must stop!
Christmas is also coming. I have a few markets booked for October / November and December and I am busy planning and getting my stock levels up. I am planning on running the christmas season in a much more planned and organised way this year! Have I mentioned I am going to be a Craft 2.0 in October... mucho preparation to do!
To start that off, I have organised Eftpos for the season. It arrives this week and will be ready for the Devonport Craft Market next Sunday. The poster for DCM this month is below - a lovely design by Emma Walsh.
I am working my way through three weeks worth of blog posts on my blog reader....I haven't had a piece of time to check out the blogosphere.... My goal by the end of the weekend is to be up to date.
Enough from me. Hope you are enjoying your weekend whereever you are... I also hope it is not rainy and wet where you are... I am over it!
