last post from my trip.........I promise

These are some pics from the Living Creatively (not really sure what that is) display at the Stitches and Craft...........pretty cool............check out these desserts.............

you could just reach out and eat them..........

but they are all handmade from felt and kniting and you would choke...........they looked so real I had to look twice........

This little bag was so pretty............

They even had flowers sitting all around...........

lots of good sewing hanging here.............

Annies favourite apron here on the left............

she liked this bag also.........

And I just wanted to pick up this quilt..............

These carrots and cauliflowers put a whole new slant on knitting for me...............not that I am about to start knitting...............but they are so cute..........

Now I am not sure who exactly put this display together but it was amazing .............they even had real rabbits in there............very cute..............

Wow! I can't believe those cakes are made from felt and knitting - I really thought they were real and had to enlarge the photo to look more closely! My two attempts at knitting cupcakes definitely don't look as good as that!!!!

Every time you think you've seen it all someone in the craft world surprises you. Knitted cauliflowers and carrots! Felt tarts! For some reason I have to fight the urge to find a pattern and try to make some of my own.....
I like that quilt too, so soft and pretty.

Hi Chookyblue,

Glad to see that you enjoyed our display at the Stitiches and Craft show in Melbourne. The cakes are wonderful and made by a lady named Hiromi. She is one of the many talented crafters we featured at our stand in Melbourne. In your most recent blog post you mention that you are not familar with what Living Creatively is so I thought I'd enlighten you.

Living Creatively is a new venture which seeks to uncover the best on offer in the worlds of design, urban-living, art and fashion. Global in scope its role is to find the very best from the worlds of art and design and bring it to people who share an interest in beautiful things.

The centrepiece of the Living Creatively world is a new website www.livingcreatively.com.au that was launched on December the 5th last year and features many beautiful things as well as being an interesting read too.

LC will be visiting Sydney at the Stitches and Craft show in August, so come and say hi if you're there.

Enjoy!
