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 :)

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!

Delayed Valentine Loveliness

Sorry again for the slack blogging, things are very busy around here, lots of things happening that I can't tell you about yet, very frustrating for me (and you) but be sure I'll let you know as soon as I can! However thats no excuse for lack of blogging news, I should start by updating you on how the button swap went, there are some amazing buttons being made and posted around the world to people, check out some of them at the flickr group. I think it was a success for those taking part, I certainly had a great time learning about lots of new crafty people and what they make.

Here are the lovely buttons I received from Incywincystitches, photos copied from ms incywincystitches herself as she photographed them so much better that I did (hope she doesn't mind!), I also recieved a lot of other lovely goodies, inluding this pin cushion, super cute!

Also my parcel of Valentines goodies arrived from Skinny Laminx, a great tea towel and lots of lovely other bits and pieces, a great and unexpected prize to win.

Lastly look at these lovely parcels I recieved in the February A little Fabric a little chocolate swap, and look at all the lovely fabric, chocolate and stuff that was inside:

I've been very lucky to have received such a lot of lovely items in the mail over the last few weeks, I hope the people I sent my parcels to are half as pleased with what they receive as I was!

Photoshoot

Yesterday was spent doing a photoshoot of new products, I'm currently working on an update and re-design of the phatsheep website, its nearly there now I have new photos so I hope to be able to launch the new site within the next fortnight - I've set myself a public deadline now so I'll have to finish it!

Can you spot the little hand reaching for the orange campervan, somebody got a bit fed up I was using his toys for props!

p.s Swatch packs of the new fabrics available for sale in the phatsheep fabrics etsy shop, I think they'd be great for small craft projects.
