Hey this looks fabulous darlings!

Would love to join in, and I might have to head on down for a look, or even a ride (if someone holds baby for me!).

Make sure you visit the website for the details…

The Crochet Coral Reef installation is over and has been taken down…  good news is it is not over!  Glenys is keeping our Seagardens Aotearoa project alive. 

I’m just so excited about this one, the Hyperbolic Crochet Coral Reef project is at Auckland Museum right now!  This afternoon I dropped in to do some work with the lovely ladies busily hooking away and spreading the stitchy love.  I brought in with me the little one above, I had finished it off today and couldn’t wait to see how the project was growing.

So if you are even slightly crafty and nerdy, or into maths or art, or craftsy community projects, or the environment and ecology (that should actually be all of you) best you get yourself along to the Auckland Museum over the next few weeks to have a look at the crochet coral reef that is growing on a wall in the oceans gallery.  Better yet, take your crochet hook and some fibre and get making!

For a really good clip about this international project (and a much better explanation about the mathematics behind the hyperbolic plane than I can give you!) go to this TED talk.

Come and say hello at Kraftbomb today, I have a fresh batch of Tuty Fruity Choc Chip Cupcake Pincushions available today.  It might be the last for a wee while as baby is due in a month, I will have some new listings up on Felt.co.nz while I’m away from the markets if you need a special present.

Kraftbomb is at the Grey Lynn Community Centre, main hall – 510 Richmond Road, Grey Lynn, Auckland, from 11am til 2pm.

So baby is due in about six weeks and I’ve been winding down somewhat in anticipation of the madness to come, unfortunately I have also been neglecting my blog.  I have also been frantically making as much as I can while I can, with a good pile of sea horses cut ready to sew and a batch of cupcakes ready to assemble, I am wondering just how much I will be able to get done!

This Saturday will probably be my last Crafternoon Tea for a month or so, so come along and say hello, the market is on from 10am-3pm at the Trinity Methodist Church, on the corner of Sandringham and New North Roads in Kingsland.  As usual there will be lots of lovely crafty goodies to get your hands on.

I will also be at  Kraftbomb in Grey Lynn the following weekend as well, so it’s to market, to market!

Aside from all the craft market goodness I am putting together some crochet pieces for an exhibition opening at Artstation in July this year.  Entitled Desire Lines I will write up more details over the next week…  all very exciting!

Come and check out some of my new goodies this Saturday at Crafternoon Tea in Kingsland, including beautiful seahorses and new needle wallets as well loads of other handmade goodies…

Saturday 20th of February 2010, from 10am-3pm at the Trinity Methodist Church – which is on the corner of Sandringham and New North Roads in Crafty Kingsland.

How cute is this flyer??

Crafternoon Tea is coming up again so put it in your dairies and get yourself along…

Saturday 16th January 2010, from 10am-3pm at the Holy Trinity Church, cnr. of Sandringham and New North Roads in Kingsland.

Next Saturday 12th December is the Christmas Crafternoon-Tea.  The market is open from 10am-3pm at the Mt Eden Normal Primary School Hall, Valley Road, Mt Eden.

This is the first time Mermaid’s Purse will have a table and it’s going to be exciting and a busy day, so come and check it out!

I’ll be checking out one of the newest craft markets to hit Auckland, Cratfernoon Tea, and I’m really excited, check their website for photos of some of the goodies on offer.  It’s always fun to see more people busy making things.

This is the second market and is from 10am-2pm at the Trinity Methodist Church Hall, 400 New North Road, Kingsland.  See you there!

Here are some of my new products that have been on the go for a while…  including the Witchy Poo Stitchy Poo Pincushions, available at the next Kraftbomb, and more vege softies, so far just wee carrots!

All handmade from felt and using recycled stuffing, so many things to make so little time!
