Miso Funky

Edinburgh This Sunday!

July 3rd, 2009

I’ll be taking a road trip with T-boo jewellery this Sunday across to our nation’s fair capital, Edinburgh.

We’re taking part in the Grassmarket on Edinburgh’s handily-named Grassmarket from 12pm to 6pm.

I’ll have a big selection of emobroidery and miniatures available, along with some of our guest designers wares and brand new handmade vintage fabric cushions!

The market is chock-full of crafts and there is also an adjacent farmers market, so there really is something for everyone. There are loads of cool, quirky shops in the area too, including Red Door Gallery, which I’ll be restocking with Miso Funky wares on Sunday too.

It’s only a 10 minute walk from Waverley station, so is ideal for a day out in Edinburgh - go on! Come and say hello!

PS - The hog roast shop is also just round the corner - that’s where I’ll be for lunch!

Last Minute Market!

June 13th, 2009

I’m going to be taking part in a market as part of the Glasgow Steiner School summer fair tomorrow - I only found out at 6pm this evening, so it’s a bit last minute!

Luckily, I have lots of emobroidery ready to go as well as a huge stack of kawaii - something for everyone (but if you want something sweary, you’ll have to ask, they’ll be under the counter!).

I’ve just finished up another new batch of tea towels and framed a few new samplers, so stop by between 11.30am and 4pm for a whole heap of fun.

As well as me, there will be a cafe with loads of vegetarian stuff and baking, live music, a BBQ, games, craft activities for kids (clay modeling, necklace making, pinwheels and willow fairy rings). There’s also henna and face painting, a book sale and a miniature pony!

There will also be firemen and a fire engine in case the BBQ or miniature pony get out of hand. I’m hoping to sell everything so I can fit the pony in my giant suitcase on the way home.

Shop Update

June 12th, 2009

A little shop update has occurred this morning. A few one-off pieces are now available for your purchasing pleasure.

There’s a one-off black carved gothic framed Home Sweet Fucking Home that’s looking for a new owner.

I’ve also got new tea towels embroidered by my trusty sidekick, Jeff. Choose from Make Tea Not War, Fuck The Dishes or the all-new Home Sweet Fucking Home.

Looking for  Live Fast Die Young? There’s a great new green framed one right here.

There’s also new mini gold frames - a new colourway in the skull and crossbones and brand new nautical-themed anchors away! It’s in this season, you know!

And last but not least - Pat and Dot are back in stock! Snap them up quick before they disappear again!

Back! And a market

June 6th, 2009

Well, I’m back! I bet you all missed the random postings on here. I had a lovely time and had a nice rest from crafting but am well and truly back in the saddle now! I’ve even managed to work up a few new prototypes this afternoon.

Thanks to all the people who’ve been ordering things over the past couple of weeks - just about everything has been dispatched now, so I’m all caught up to yesterday. Just in time for a market tomorrow!

Say No To Plastic  takes place tomorrow at Oran Mor, Byres Road, Glasgow, with over 30 stalls packed with vintage and handcrafted goodness. As well as the stalls, there’s music, mini fashion shows, luxury lucky dip and of course the bar is open!

The event supports The Prince and Princess of Wales Hospice and Action for Children.

The event runs from 12 til 4. Entry is free!

Those winners who have not yet emailed me their address, get on it! (hello at misofunky dot com).

National Doughnut Week!

May 13th, 2009
Doughnuts! by you.

Did you know it’s National Doughnut Week in the UK this week? No, me neither! Once I found out though, I immediately ate a doughnut though, don’t worry.

If you’d like to join in the doughy festivities but can’t afford the calories, how about one of these bad boys? Amazingly realistic, they’re handmade by From Russia With Love and are available here!

New Coaster Designs

I’ve just sent these off to a lovely customer who requested these as custom designs.

I’m thinking about adding them to the shop – what do you think? Do you have any ideas you’d like to see in glorious cross-stitched technicolour?
