BH&G live – My big crafty week
I haven’t been blogging as much as I would like to recently, It’s really been bugging me! But I’m very happy to say I am back at my computer and very happy!
Here is a summery of my last 8 days…
30th April – CRAFTED MAG WENT LIVE! WHOOOO!!! click here to download your copy
1st May Work – Last minute prep for BHG live Melbourne. Home – More table number making…
For those of you who I haven’t bragged majorly too, I’m lucky enough to work for Tara Dennis. She is the decorating/craft host on Better Homes and Gardens here in Australia. This week we flew to Melbourne for BH&G live. It’s a great live show where the hosts do live demonstrations as well as heaps stalls selling things for home reno etc…
2nd May Flew to Melbourne for BHG live set up.
That night we did a bit of exploring around Melbourne. Bought a HUGE pile of magazines from Magnation, enjoyed wine and cheese in a lane way bar, and dinner in a cute little Italian restaurant. (Felt like I was back in Venice eating Italian food in a beautiful lane way.)
3rd May Day one at BHG live.
Today I was lucky enough to meet the amazing Amy Tan! She was so lovely. I hung out at the side of one of her demos for about 40 minutes hoping I could catch her at the end to grab a photo before I had to run off to set up the deco stage for Tara’s next demo. I did this successfully as you can see… 😉 Felt like such a crazy stalker lady…
Alas, that stalking effort wasn’t necessary, when I went into the green room for lunch she was of course there too! But this did mean I was able to chat to her for a while. Made my day. Still feel like I’m a bit of a weirdo though… he he.
4th May Day two at BHG live and flew back to Sydney
This was slightly stressful because we finished Tara’s last demo at 2pm and our flight back to Sydney was at 3pm! Needless to say, we missed out flight and had to wait an hour for the next one…
5th May Well today wasn’t sooo busy but I did go to Bondi to check out the new West Elm and Pottery Barn stores. (Totally in love with West Elm now!)
6th May Work RIDICULOUSLY hard to get these table numbers finished!
The table numbers have a cool story too! But I will leave that for another day… I’m sure you have heard quite enough from me for now…
7th May Back to work in the Tara Dennis studio and got my lovely mum to send off table numbers.
And that brings us to NOW! I am super happy to be on my laptop catching up on some blog reading and post writing!
Have you had a big crafting week? Made anything interesting?
Planning on making something cool..?
