NZCQ & Geek Freeks go to Welly

Crafty Ladies!!

Sometimes I'm a very slack blogger and sometimes I'm probably a bit too blog post happy! I've been a bit quite on my blog this past month, but things have by no means been quite!

I headed down to Wellington with Chris and my crafty partner in crime Miss Karla and her hubby Alex. Chris and I went down early to catch up with rellies down there and we met up with the others on the Friday.

Sat 11th October was Craft2.0 at the New Dowse Gallery in Lower Hutt. It was good to have a change and go to a different craft event and meet fellow crafters.

We met some great people, bought some amazing goodies and got to show off our wares the Wellingtonians that visited.

Of course, since I wasn't in my hood and didn't want to tread on any other cupcake queens toes, I didn't sell any cupcakes. But I did take all my cross stitches and my Stitch'd Ink kits and most people seemed to like them.

Karla and Alex did well with their Geek Freeks, the biggest hit of the day seemed to be their new "Ones and Twos" (poos and wees) plushies, which sold out!! You can see them on the right of this pic:

Other highlights (and lowlights) included the Stormtrooper we saw on a night out:

Karla and Alex getting hives (WTF?)

and this awesome sign at the airport (I am the biggest baking nerd to find this so funny?):
apron issues while baking??

Loud speaker, "Apron emergency. Please evacuate. Apron emergency. Please evacuate."

I imagine the loud speaker to have a sexy British female accent too.

Baking is that dangerous. Don't let anyone fool you.
