Back again

I suppose, I am one of the worst bloggers around who doesn't like to talk about her cat or the cakes she bakes. Some stuff has happened though, I have been up to the beautiful Te Ika a Maui, showing my creations to a few shops, so you can already buy my zip pouches in frutti on Cuba Street in Wellington and soon my whole range in Taupo and Auckland, hurray! Here are some images (no bags for a change) of the places I have passed and been to.

Wellington...



Auckland...

It's been a while...




...but I am back again from the dark deep whole called slackness! Quite a few things have happened since my resurrection. Retreasured laid an egg in the Magpie's nest of my favourite magazine World Sweet World (issue 03). When hatched it turned into a beautiful bag called Eve who shows her four different sides in this picture.









..also the retreasured label to go on the bags has arrived.It took a while to decide on the colour but we are very happy with the result and think they look pretty good when sewn on.




















Of course there is something written on the back of these labels. If you cannot already guess what it is, the "mystery" will be revealed in the next post.

This is a preview of the fantastic fabrics that I will create new bags with for spring and summer so that everybody will wear one and look prettier than ever before, yeah!

Oh what a mighty crafty good day!







We took the opportunity to take some pictures of our stall before the big crowd marched in... Craft2.0 was such a great success for retreasured. We met heaps of interesting creative people, made some contacts and had an exiting busy bubbly day! If you want to read up a bit more on
retreasured and Craft2.0 there is a great feature about us on www.craft2.org/blog
