There’s nothing more for us to say now than Merry Christmas!

Thanks to everyone who has supported Miso Funky this year, whether it be through press, purchasing or blogging about us. We really do appreciate it!

We’re taking a break from the blog and the shop now until the first week in January. Any orders will be posted upon our return but we will be checking email sporadically over the festive season, so do email if you need anything!

Have a great time, everyone and see you in 2010!

We knew there were some diehard fans of Miso Funky out there, but this takes it to a whole new level!

Argentinian robot fan, Ludmila was so taken by our Robot Lovers that she has had them TATTOOED on her!

She wrote to tell me…

I would like you to see this album, i took your picture of the robots and use them to do this!

I’m going to thank you because I fell in love with the  picture and it was very important for me because my boyfriend and I from the beginning of our relationship we were called ‘the robot couple’, because we both are fans of Daft Punk and because of other things I hope you like it, goodbye!

To which my response is – Wow! I am quite taken aback and also a little thrilled that someone loved something I produced so much that they want it on their body for the rest of their life. I was speechless for a few moments after reading and seeing that!

Here are the robots together:

And here they are in the more traditional cross stitch form!

If you love them as much as Ludmila, you can purchase some robot goodness here.

And don’t forget – Hamish is having a giveaway! It’s open until 26th December, so there’s still plenty of time to enter. You can win a tote bag or calendar and there may well be some spot prizes too – it’s the season of goodwill after all.

Phew! Our website took a nosedive earlier but is back now – Iona got our of her cage and went a bit mental, but we’ve restrained her now and put her tinfoil hat back on!

Lots happening here, not least a mention in the San Francisco Examiner – apparently our Keep Calm And Carry On Shopping totes are perfect for Thanksgiving sales shopping!

We’re getting really busy for Christmas already, so now’s the time to get shopping! Stay tuned her for more new products and news and remember to check out the Christmas Gift Guide for inspiration!

Miso Funky is very excited to be part of this year’s renowned Winter Warmth exhibition in Falkirk.

There’s lots of emo-broidery on display alongside fellow Glasgow crafter, Clare Nicolson, the awesome Donna Wilson and many more.

Check out the opening this Saturday – details above – or it’s on until 31st Decemeber – click here for details.

I’m just popping into hospital for a few days now! Finally, my dodgy gall bladder is being removed, so Ill be incommunicado for a few days. But rest assured, Hamish will be keeping things ticking over in my absence.

Back soon!

Hamish has been asking for a bit of assistance of late, so it’s time for us to think about taking on an extra pair of hooves.

If you, or someone you know, are in the Glasgow area, have experience of sewing, embroidery and cross stitch and can demonstrate it and have time to spare, please get in touch at hello@misofunky.com and we’ll talk!

You can now chat live to Hamish on the Miso Funky shop!

I know most of you will have dreamt of talking to a giraffe in real time and now your dream has come true.

If you’ve got any questions about Miso Funky products or perhaps you’ve got a custom idea in mind that you’d like to talk through, you can now find a link to chat to Hamish within the shop – it’s just on the right hand navigation bar.

Just a quick note to say goodbye to you all – I’m off on holiday with Mr Miso Funky to this very sunny spot in a few hours!

The shop remains open with a special coaster offer on to tide you over – 3 for just £10! Check it out here.

All orders received between Friday 15th May and 31st May will be dispatched on or as soon as possible after 1st June 2009. 

(Sorry, giveaway winners, I’ve run out of time, so your prizes will be sent then too! If you’ve not sent me your address, please do so!)

So – be good, kids! I’m off to pack my bucket and spade!

 

It’s not an April Fool’s joke. Me and Marceline of Asking For Trouble’s  other project, Super Cute Kawaii has been given a really fantastic boost today as our guest curation has been posted over at Etsy!

Click here to read it and marvel at the comments! Everyone loves it! How fantastique, as Monsieur Le Bun would say!

Look, we’ve only gone and updated the blog! It looks very nice and shiny now. If you are reading in a rss feed, click over to the proper site to see it in all its glory.

It’s been so busy at Miso Towers over the past few weeks! I had rather thought it might quieten down a bit, but if anything, it’s got much busier. Last week, I posted off the pieces for display at the UK Craft Mafia exhibition at Manchester Craft and Design Centre. The exhibition opens 2 weeks today and is on for quite a while, so there’s plenty time to see it. Click here for more info on that.

Also, we’re really excited to be doing loads of work for wholesale and cosignment with some great new outlets.  Once it’s all installed at their new homes, I’ll post up the news of new places you can find Miso Funky wares. 

Also, it’s my birthday next week, so hopefully I will find time to take a sneaky day off and maybe have some non-sewing related fun!

Just a quick note to say that there is a mega-giveaway over at Cuteable to celebrate the lovely Lynsey’s one year anniversary of taking over the reins.

I have donated a cute little robot sampler to the ever-growing hamper of prizes, so make sure you leave a comment here to be in with a chance of winning!
