Screen-Printing for Curtains

I want to say that I won't be screen-printing today after printing like a maniac all week but with a couple of new screens coming today, it may be hard to resist.

It was exciting printing the Iron Flowers linen fabric yesterday for my living room. I need to finish painting it next Monday but at least I won't have to do any sewing. The curtains and roman blinds will be made by Janneale, over at Miraje Home, one of our lovely customers.

Even more exciting, for me, was printing 30 metres of our Marguerite design (on Sage Green linen) for a home in country NSW. I can't tell you how honoured I feel that the owners chose our fabrics for their curtains over all the big brands out there. I will definitely share photos once I can.

Don't forget that the Studio Shop is open today (and tomorrow) so if you drop in, I will gladly have a break and a cuppa with you :)

Screen Printing Yardage

Yesterday, we hosted our Open Studio and I would like to say a thank you to all the lovely blog followers and newsletter subscribers who visited.

Julie Palmer took some great pictures and has posted a thorough commentary on her blog, Olive and Joy, explaining the yardage printing process.

I was just excited as those who watched as it was the first time we printed our Peacock design on the Provincial Natural Flax, one of my favourite fabrics and a joy to print on.

For those who visited, you will be pleased to know that my partner in printing and life, has finally been taken to the hospital (by me) and will remain all week. He was limping around on an infected leg yesterday. He has been diagnosed with Cellulitis, brought on by his long flights recently but made worse by his refusal to seek medical help earlier.

This week we are supposed to be moving house but there are already delays with the settlement and I will have deal with that and all the other moving related hassles alone :(

I often wish that my life was simpler and a little more boring.
