I'll print, you make pretty things...
I&S in the Melbourne Design Guide - yay!
Of all weekends to be in town, the weekend past probably would have taken the cake. There was This is not a Design Market (I'm yet to find out if it was any good!?), Melbourne Open House, and Design Made Trade, all on at once.
However I spent the weekend down at Aireys Inlet having a much needed break with my girly friends drinking copious cups of tea, going for long walks and playing board games (I do get slightly manic when playing Taboo). Definitely a worthy substitute for the aforementioned.
Bee and I did manage to get to Design Made Trade on Thursday anyway. We chatted to lots of lovely peeps and found ourselves in the Melbourne Design Guide. That was definitely one of those surreal moments where you think back to a time not long ago when you never imagined being in such a book...
All I've been doing otherwise is printing like a mad woman, so here's some lovely things that other people have been doing:
The very talented Maria from kidacollective has been making these gorgeous play dresses from my Birch fabric:

And then there's the equally talented Jacqui who won the Ink & Spindle giveaway! Under strict instructions not to 'stash' her winnings she has revamped and reupholstered this chair with my new Rooftops fabric:

Thanks ladies from making such beautiful things, brightening my day and giving me something to blog about!!

That chair looks wonderful with your fabric. It reminds me I need to get around to refinishing the oak table and chairs I bought over a year ago.
