What will 2011 bring???


'WOW' - almost 2 months since my last post - I really do need to get on here regularly and share what we have been up to, but I am so busy doing it I forget to blog about it.

Perhaps that's a good New Years resolution seeing as though the only one I made involved baskets of unfolded washing never gracing the back lounge for longer than a day - hmmm, there is nothing loitering there at the moment, but, the window seat in our room is another matter entirely.

2011 - Well who'd have thought my wee felty business would have evolved so much in 12 months, I am loving creating, imagining and playing with so many mediums now that it's sometimes hard to decide what to work with! Thank you to all of our miraculous customers, stockists, WAHM buddies and suppliers for their support - It would never have worked as well without you xxx

The latest passion is 'lightweight'  - both denim and voile - completely different I know, but the Moree heat prompted me to find something soft and different - enter Anna Maria Horner  ( I found some voile in our local quilting shop and fell in love) I hope you do too. The style is a simple one but this voile needs little else, just so buttery and soft you have to touch it to believe it!

Our resident roughy toughy Tilda is soo hard on clothes, denim reversible dresses, seemed a perfect way to stop her destroying more gear while she tries to keep up with Oliver, that and I have so much fabric, I really needed to use some of it to justify it's existence. - Then I can buy more shhhh :)

Which brings me to what I am up to this new 2011 year xxx
A bit of a run down so you can find me if you need me - or wonder why I haven't returned your emails etc :P

Monday/Tuesday - Shelli Morse Design - creating OOAK items and listing them in my madeit store until.... SMD website coming later this year thanks to Melissa at Where to Start Websites - I can't wait and I hope you can't either - Who knows what we will come up with by then.
Custom Orders will be limited slots each month and I will announce via FB or Blog page when they are up and running.

Wednesday/Thursday - New job - Woo Hoo!!! I am lucky enough to be a p/t Country Areas Program consultant - working from Moree DET office. For those of you who have benefitted from CAP either as students, teachers or parents you will know how rewarding and innovative this program is and just too good an opportunity to pass up. I will be mainly working in the areas of Visual Arts, Music and Science with initiatives all over the place geographically - so it should be a blast to coordinate with wee family and SMD - hence the limited customs :(

Friday - Release Teacher in our small school of 12 students - It's my 9th year there this year and our students and the community are AMAZING - So much like a big happy family it's a pleasure to teach x

Saturday/Sunday - 'FAMILY' :D - I spent a lot of time last year packing the kids and hubby off to the in laws farm for weekends, that this year I decided that the weekends were for 'US' - Oh, and the washing, cleaning, ironing etc... and the odd bit of sewing - If I just can't stay away, or if the kids are watching a dodgy movie etc etc ...

Phew... If you have gotten this far - I thank you from the bottom of my heart - please leave a comment to say Hi if nothing else - I promise to blog in the near future, I know you can't wait - Ha ha  :P

Take Care xox
