Hurrah! It’s finally here! The emobroidery cushion has finally arrived!

You can see what the fuss is about here.

And we’re off! Following on from Newcastle, we have the first Glasgow Craft Mafia events of the season this week.

First off, tomorrow is the first Mafia Market of the season, set to get the students in. It’s at the QMU off Byres Road and on from 12 til 6. There will be loads of funky interiors, accessories and more available - perfect for new student pads. We’re there later tho for the hard working folks too! Pop in and say hi if you are passing.

Saturday is the event at Byblos in the Merchant City. It’s a charity fashion event and there are a whole host of indie shopping opportunities AND breakdancing! I won’t be breakdancing, but I will be there flogging my wares, so do come along (tickets £10). I REALLY wish I could breakdance - one of my greatest regrets in life is not ever learning to spin on my head, but I will give the caterpillar a go given a few Babychams too many.

If you can’t make these, fear not! There are lots of opportunities to peruse the goods in the flesh coming up - check out the events page.

Newcastle Rocks

September 15, 2008 on 3:42 pm | In Markets and Events | No Comments

This past weekend, we had a jaunt to Newcastle, just me, Hamish and Mr Miso Funky (Chikako had to stay at home and babysit Iona). It was a great day out with corned beef sandwiches, lots of lovely customers and no navigational hitches to speak of.

As well as meeting a lady who was so tickled by our emo-broidery coasters that she had to be helped to a chair and a man who looked just like Hugh Fearnley Whittingstall who chuckled for about 10 minutes at our samplers, we sold out of Sniff Glue Worship Satans and discovered some great local designers.

Some of our profits were spent on a delightful tweed purse from The Black Button, who also make man pouches, bags and lovely cards. I’ve been coveting the purses for a long time and finally splurged on one yesterday. I also bought a print by Brian Tighe from Accordion Apparel - you can see it here. It’s going in the craft room to inspire me.

There were many other great finds at the Star & Shadow market which was organised by the very friendly Lucy, who also operates under the guise of Doris Illustrated - check the site out, it is beautifully done, as are her bags, pouches and purses. I had to try very hard to resist the glasses pouches with 3-D specs on the front.

Can’t wait for the next one - which will of course be mentioned here in advance to allow you to come down if you’re in the area - hurrah!

Preparations!

September 8, 2008 on 7:54 pm | In Markets and Events | No Comments

You would be forgiven for thinking that Miso Funky is just one giant fun-filled factory, set in an enchanted kawaii forest somewhere where small elves sit happily on toadstools stitching away all day. Well, it IS like that in Iona’s head, but in real life, it’s a little different!

Now that September is here, we are really gearing up for Christmas which is our busiest time of year. This weekend sees the first markets of the season which means that we are working flat out to produce stocks of old favourites and new items alike.

If you’re in the Glasgow area, pop along to Dennistoun this Saturday for the Dennistoun Community Trust market which is taking place in downtown Dennistoun. Click here for more info.

On Sunday, Miso Funky (and Mr Miso Funky!) are travelling down to Newcastle for our first visit of the year to the toon. We’ll be at the Star and Shadow market from 11am to 4pm and we’d love to see you if you are local! Come along and quote “the toon” for a 10% discount on the day!

There’s lots of other opportunities coming up to see us in the flesh, so keep tuned in to the events page for updates. We aim to bring you more news of the preparation side in the coming weeks as well as more behind the scenes features and news of our crafty cohorts, so if there is anything you’d like to know about or have a burning question for Hamish and co, then email us at hello@misofunky.com.

New Shop Is Here!

September 8, 2008 on 7:36 pm | In Website Stuff | No Comments

The eagle eyed amongst you may have already noticed of course, but Miso Funky has a whole new look to it’s shop! The most talented mar-c of Asking For Trouble has given Hamish’s wardrobe a spruce up and we think that it all looks a million times better.

You’ll find it easier to search for items and the collections are a little better organised too. You can still shop by price and browse the entire emobroidery collection in one place too and as ever you’ll find it very easy to click on through and make a purchase!

If you’re needing your site overhauled or perhaps you need a site to get you started with your crafty endeavours, then contact mar-c via www.marcelinesmith.com. She’ll do you proud!

There’s lots of exciting news coming soon to the blog, so stay tuned!
