life in a creative house : part 2

Almost twelve months ago to the day we had a major dog drama when Oona one of our 12 month olds pups swallowed a sewing needle - all ended well if you discount the $3700.00 vet bill for suregery.

Last week, the same little darling caused more grief by eating a cotton reel including the cotton - another potentially fatal situation.  Of course I did'nt notice the thread pertruding from her mouth until 9 o'clock that night - she had eaten dinner and was otherwise normal - and so another emercency dash to the vet centre ensued.    She had thankfully survived further surgery - endoscope only this time and some 5 hours later we were on the way home $1100.00 poorer.

We are seriously doggy and live in a virtual state of siege in case she or they find something they shouldn't - chairs on tables, endless vaccuming and lots of plastic boxes for work in progress - but I think we will be taking the vets advice and trialing a basket muzzle for Oona when shes on the hunt.

Terrible snap ....but the kit is well under way

we've moved!!!

I cannot believe that the my last post was in August ...life certainly hasn't been dull since then.

But the most significant event was definitely the move to a great new retail space..I've been keen to make changes for a long time but couldn't find a shop that appealed.  Finally we've found one and have spent the past 6 weeks moving in..still a lot to do but we're now open again now and feeling more settled.

The new address is 1209 Malvern, Malvern 3144 - for Melbourne locals, thats just over Glenferrie Road, towards Toroonga.

New phone number - 9822 3393

We are open wednesday to Saturday -10-4.30or by appointment - workshops on Tuesdays.  

photos soon plus details of new products, kits and classes
