Heres the inside of the shop, we opened last weekend and things have been going good so far, its been busy and lovely after all our efforts over the past 6 weeks to have so many people stop by and tell us how nice its looking :)

Serious lack of blogging..

Hello, sorry for the lack of posting, its been busy around here. To see what I've been up to check out this

North Rock Gallery Blog

Spring has Sprung!

Well at least I hope it has, after what seems like an endless winter of dark nights and dark mornings it can be hard to imagine that spring will ever arrive.......





But it did, it was still jacket, hat and welly boot weather but it was sunny and not a gale force wind. So we spent a happy Sunday flying a kite and splashing in the sea. Fingers crossed we have many more days like this ahead of us in 2009. Its a good distraction from the hectic redecoration and shop planning and order fulfilling thats going on round here at the moment

Way to long between posts again.....

Oops where has time gone!? again its been far to long between blogging posts.

I have some exciting news, my partner and have signed the lease on a property on our local high street, we got the keys last week.... we are going to open our own little gallery and shop!!!! very exciting and a bit scary, seems like a very grown up thing to do.
During the last month there has been a lot of planning and now we've got the keys its re-decoration time, with all family members helping to fix up the property ready for our proposed opening in a few weeks time.
We've started a little blog about the gallery and shop, which we're going to call North Rock Gallery, you can check it our here.

So apologies if I've been a very absent blogger but I have been busy!

Also there are more fabrics listed in the Etsy shop and some more to follow shortly.

Lastly Happy Easter everyone :)

Newish Flickr Group - Phatsheep Fabric Creations

I started up this Flickr group a while back and have been a bit shy about publicising it (mainly for fear that nobody would ever join it!!), but now that fabric sales have been going well I'd love to see what everybody makes with the fabrics they buy.

So if any of you reading this have made something with my fabrics I'd love to see it, and I'm sure there are a lot of other out there who would like to see it too. So please join and post your pics to the phatsheep fabric creations flickr group .

Also heres a print idea I'm working on at the moment, did the drawing ages ago but only just got round to making it into a potential print design over the weekend, I'm liking the retro colours lots.

A good month for Publicity!

One of my Linen Fair Isle Jumper print Cushions is featured in this months Homes and Interiors Scotland Magazine, alongside some other very lovely items. This is turning out to be a good month for publicity for me!

Thanks everyone for your nice comments on my last post, this is all very exciting for me!

New Edition of Sew Hip Mag features PhatSheep Interview!

Wow, this is a big bit exciting and a little bit scary!

I was interviewed by Kerrie Allman a month or so ago and had kind of fogotten about it, but when I got the new edition of Sew Hip magazine there was my interview and huge pic pic of me and the boy! Good grief it's a bit scary to see such a big pic (or any pic for that matter) of yourself in print in a proper posh mag that people pay money for! I hope that what I have to say is a bit interesting to people!? Anyway there are lots of other great patterns and articles in the magazine too.

Oh and there is a whole lot more fabrics listed in the Etsy shop now, go check them out!
