Hi everyone,
Hope you are all keeping well and not too cold. I really enjoy winter but not inside the house we are living in! As I have often complained (moaned, whined, whinged....), this rental is a very cold house. We have finally managed to coax the little firebox into producing lovely warm fires (generally by about 10:00pm) so (late) evenings are cosy but the mornings are still a little challenging!
This last wet weekend definitely underlined the 'misty' in Misty Threads; however, it is very beautiful. This is a wonderful small rainforest copse on our block, made very mysterious by the rain and mist.
In between other running in circles with several making projects underway, I've actually managed to finish a few.

These laptop bags have been very popular. They are made with our beautiful cotton fabrics and interfaced with bag foam, a soft but protective layer that doesn't shift or buckle but keeps your precious laptop safe. They can be customised with your choice of fabric and to the size for your laptop, tablet, kindle or even phone. A simple carry strap can also be added.
These are all available for purchase through our online store here, through This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. or call us on 02 6657 1200. Just add fabric choices or size in the comments section.
Speaking of online, check out the updates underway to our website by our web designer, Web Design Domain, a great local business. A bit more to go yet but we're really happy with it – your feedback is welcome.
For anyone who is vaguely local, Chris Timmins, our lovely tutor, is planning to start monthly classes again in August - we'll post dates for that shortly.
Take care and stay safe.
