Moving on up!

It's been a crazy summer to say the least for Swirly Designs both personally and professionally. Between welcoming a new addition to the family and planning the upcoming holiday season we have been quite busy with no sign of slowing down. Now to add to it all...as of this past week we have sold our condo and now are in process of finding a new home/studio. Hopefully we will be settled in a new place before the holiday season.

Here is a picture (click to enlarge)showing our work space. We had to declutter and clean up the studio for the open house. Believe us, it never looks this clean.

Upcoming Craft Shows

We decided this year to cut back on the number of craft shows we exhibit at. We feel really bad because doing the craft shows are one of the only few times we actually get a chance to meet and greet all our customers of Swirly Designs. We absolutely love meeting everyone and chit chatting! So, as soon as we get confirmation on the few shows that we are doing, we will let you know.







This first booking that came in last week is:
Wellesley Marketplace at the Wellesley Middle School
on Saturday, November 21, 2009 9-4 pm

See you there!

A gift from Martha

Who doesn't love a free gift. A few months back the Martha Stewart website did a holiday workshops on their website. They have done Halloween workshops in the past and this year they did an Easter workshop. It's a great place to share holiday decorating ideas and pictures. They were also running a contest "Share Us your best Easter projects and Win", so we submitted a couple of our "how-to" projects. We weren't necessarily submitting to win but more for sharing our fun how-to projects. We entered our Springtime Swirly Carrot and the Mini Swirly Bunny

....well a few weeks ago we were notified that we were chosen as one of the winners. YEAH!!!
We were very excited to have been picked and our prize arrived today in the mail:



a 320GB Seagate FreeAgent® Go portable hard drive with docking station to store our favorite photos, videos, music, and more.

Thank you very much Martha & MSLO :)
