This weekend the Craft & Quilt Fair was in Sydney, and Dizzy Izzy (& Friends) hit the fair to get their fill of shopping, inspiration and creative flair.
It was a world of creativity - everything from lampwork beads, intricate cross stitch patterns, crochet demonstrations and sock monkeys. After an exhausting initial lap around the outer edge, we dove into the middle lanes where we started our purchasing - Scrapmatts were definitely a highlight in the purchases. So was running into a few old HQ customers!
We did a make and take with Rachel Greig from Darkroom Door, who is always fun and has some of the loveliest stamps around. For Michelle, our new scrapper and Craft Fair Virgin, this was her very first 'class'. She's officially hooked now! I loved using the Precious Metal Colours - so effective and something I had never seen before.
After a great demo from Craft Queen, where we learned about some of the new scrapping trends (punches are back - yay! - and the layered flowers using tulle and other materials were just divine) and a quick run through the quilt show (now there was some talent, and the most amazing quilts I had ever seen) we began our journey home, body's weary but brains happily ticking over and beginning to create new masterpieces.
Thanks for a great day girls! Get your craft (your craft) on!
