Another Kyrie K original!

It's been a sewing frenzy in my house. This is my second attempt at sewing a dress using an old 1960s McCalls sewing pattern (see first attempt here). I am so happy we are having some hotter days this week because my new dress is so cool and comfy. I even included a pocket on the front for my iPhone! I bought the fabric at an op shop and absolutely loving it with my yellow vintage wallpaper brooch from Delilah devine.

Go Girl!

My mate Mardi (from LittleLuv) was featured in the Eastern Courier yesterday, a brief story about her Charity trek in May.

We are very excited to support Mardi by hosting a fund raising / exhibition this March 16th. Proceeds from ticket and print sales will be dontated directly to Plan’s GirlsFund.

Plan’s GirlsFund was established to directly help identify and respond to the barriers girls face in communities. They recognise that discrimination against girls and women is one of the main underlying causes of child poverty. Plan’s projects in health, education and microfinance ensure that girls aren’t left behind.

The exhibition LIGHT OF HOPE features the unique photographic light painting by my favourite photographer Denis Smith!  And the event is taking place at the Messagemark Design Studio, so this is also your chance to see where all the Messagemark magic happens!

DATE:  Wednesday 16 March 2011 TIME:  6.30 pm – 8.30 pm
VENUE: Messagemark Studio, 11 Jetty Road, Largs Bay
TICKETS:  $15.00 includes a glass of Bundaleer Wine

Aussie Icon Feature

 

My Kangaroo from the new Dinky-Dye range is featured in the March edition of Adelaide Matters. He is very happy to be in glossy print. Well done Kanga!

My Tech Savvy Cat!

Hestor asked me if he could have a Facebook page too, so I helped him set one up. Hestor certainly is a tech savvy cat! He can even use the mouse with his left or right paw! You can see Hestor's furry little corner of Facebook here. He hopes to meet many new friends both of the four and two legged kind! It would make Hestor very happy if you stopped by his page!

Dinky-Dye Window Display

My friend Georgia (a visual merchandiser) and I caught up last week at the Messagemark Studio to create a display featuring my new range "Dinky-Dye Designs".

It's so fantastic to be using my old bits and bobs from my Grandma, Parents and random hard rubbish adventures! I am now seeing everything with fresh eyes - Georgia did such a FAB job of combining my more modern designs with the old vintage and retro pieces. An eclectic mix, and the colours really work well together. I LOVE it!! So so cute. Wish my Grandma could see it!
