lock down for several days. This is likely to be the last blog for this year.

It would have been good if someone had told us when we handed over our first lot of money to start looking, so by this time we've would have found a place to rent. Is there anyone out there, who has a four bedroom house with a double garage to rent? Let us know. Its just over a month to go before Christmas is here. To help with last minute gift giving to friends, (Yourself included) we do have Gift Vouches<br /><br /><br />Our specials for the month of November are Primke Stranded Threads, Primke Kit Trailing Vine and fancy buttons.<br /><br />So until next time stay healthy and keep stitching, from all of us at Christina's Craft and Gifts<br /><br /></p>Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-12731724963681715432020-10-03T11:43:00.004+09:302020-10-03T11:43:44.797+09:30October (one closer to the move)<p> Hi everyone it's October and the weather sill seems crazy. One day its already 30C and the next its raining so hard that you start to think where can I lay my hands on a row boat while trying to also cope with an icy blast of cold weather from the Antarctic. We're now busily looking for rental accommodation to take all of our stuff, so our old place can be ripped down and our new one built. All of us are eagerly waiting so that we can move back into our new place with its insulated walls and ceilings.<br /><br /><br />Our specials for he month of October are DMC Medici Wool (What we have left of), Finished Brooches and finally some Fancy Ribbon.<br /><br />So until next time stay healthy and keep stitching, from all of us at Christina's Craft and Gifts</p>Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-17809397057198979452020-08-31T10:42:00.002+09:302020-08-31T10:42:11.658+09:30September<p> Hi everyone it's September and hopefully the last of the icy winter weather is behind us. The B.O.M. are telling us it has been the warmest winter on record, I don't know where they're getting their information from but it sure doesn't feel like it from our end. News on the home front. We've just done our colour selection for our new house, doors, taps, ext. So we're one step closer to our new house.</p><p><br />Our specials for he month of September are Gumnut Blossoms wool, Elsa Williams crewel embroidery and Primke Designs Kit Hearts And Flowers Sampler.<br /><br />So until next time stay healthy and keep stitching, from all of us at Christina's Craft and Gifts<br /><br /></p>Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-66629564615883802002020-08-08T12:25:00.000+09:302020-08-08T12:25:36.915+09:30August last month of Winter<p> Hi everyone it's August, the last month of winter. The year has been one of extremes, the beginning of the year with its fires and forty plus temperatures to now with its zero degrees and lower. It feels like someone left the freezer door open in Antarctica. We've just had our soil profile done, so we're one step closer to moving and heaps more packing to do. For those who don't know We're ripping down our old place and re-building new. Hard to imagen that we've been living in the same timber frame house for the past fifty eight years and none of us were born here, so you can imagen the place is looking a bit tired.<br /><br /><br />Our specials for he month of August are Rainbow Gallery Threads, Beads - Plastic Flowers and Primke Designs Kit Rose & Lilac Urn.<br /><br />So until next time stay healthy and keep stitching, from all of us at Christina's Craft and Gifts<br /><br /></p>Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-47029868761464225572020-07-02T13:11:00.000+09:302020-07-02T13:11:39.695+09:30We're on the move<br />
Hi everyone, we are in the process of moving and tearing down our old premises and building new. Don't panic we'll still be doing your orders but there are some things we wont be able to do, such as wooden boxes and slate frames, due to no tools, no workshop. Don't despair, our tireless staff are hard at it behind the scenes.<br />

Drought one day fires the next, Corona( pain in the ass )-19 Virus to <br />finish it off, hopefully now, we can slowly get back to a form of normal whatever that will be now.<br /><br />The specials for the month of June are Butterfly Metallic thread, ideal for embellishing any UFO's [Unfinished Objects to you and me].<br />DMC Tapestry wool, while in lock down, create or finish that tapestry master piece that you've been meaning to put in pride of place on your wall.<br />Finally, Primke Gold work Bicycle. Alas we can no longer get the threads used in this kit because some of our suppliers have gone out of business, even before this virus. We are now down to our last one of this popular kit and once it is gone that will be it for the bicycle.<br />

I'm her brother Gunter, instead of the usual embroidery thread and material I'm offering you leather.<br />I started my working life in Orthopaedic footwear (where I acquired my stash of leather), I staid with the industry for almost 19 years, before retiring from the industry and moving on to embroidery supplies with my sisters (strange move I know but I love it). I've designed, stitched and won prizes for my efforts at the Royal Adelaide Show.<br />I have two types of leather for sale and they are Calf and Kid skins. The Calf is ideal for making bags, shoes, boots and scuffs. If you are using a machine to sew with, make sure you using a good diamond point leather needle, the same applies if you are using Kid. If you are stitching by hand, use good saddler needles or large Glover needles.<br />The Kid can be used to make Footwear or used in Gold work. If you are stitching by hand, use fine sharp needles or small Glover needles. Take care not to stab yourself (been there, done that). The leather can be found on the Christina's Craft web site. www.christinascraft.com.au<br /><br />Now for the specials for the month of May. YLI thread on Large reels, Charms to embellish your embroidery and finally Appleton's threads<br /><br />So until next time stay healthy and keep stitching, from all of us at Christina's Craft and GiftsMonikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-84542673775066647992020-03-30T16:36:00.002+10:302020-03-30T16:36:52.823+10:30Easter Greetings<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

Also check out the<br />Needle Necessities over dyed stranded cottons that we still have in stock. These beautiful hand dyed threads have been re branded to<br />Threadworx, the names and numbers have been changed but the colours are supposed to be the same. That said we have found that they vary<br />slightly from the original, so here is your chance to get some of the original, at a reduced price.<br /><br />Finally we have decided to reduce our stock of Maria George Delica beads this month. We thought that it would be an ideal time for those<br />of you working on your Christmas project, or just to add a little bling to whatever you are working on. Remember Christmas is fast approaching,<br />there are only 2 and a half months to go.<br />Well on that cheerful note I will call it quits for today.Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-31045392622828658512019-08-25T16:27:00.003+09:302019-08-25T16:27:27.183+09:30Spring is almost here.<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitPbMc6_3WjonrQFIOKJwpbmD7SOgeY6Ob6qZ9-kmcxxqpmV1PjkgX7MKqA_3XUhIJpxvzSApcgTWDYc5_RbN9tgwa4MXODECQBG5nVhq2YQoBkhzsQkWjC5xTRpC6sRYEGeiaNZv1scc/s1600/DSCN5225.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1200" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitPbMc6_3WjonrQFIOKJwpbmD7SOgeY6Ob6qZ9-kmcxxqpmV1PjkgX7MKqA_3XUhIJpxvzSApcgTWDYc5_RbN9tgwa4MXODECQBG5nVhq2YQoBkhzsQkWjC5xTRpC6sRYEGeiaNZv1scc/s200/DSCN5225.JPG" width="150" /></a>I know that it does not feel like spring today but it is just around the corner, in fact just a week away.<br />We can always tell, because our Almond trees are flowering and the Freesias are budding up, ready to flower any time.

<br />There has been no progress with my beading, all I have done so far, is lace the fabric onto the slate frame and then I came to a full stop. Maybe March will be a better month for me.<br />

I would like to talk about KACOONDA Australia threads and silk ribbons.<br />These threads and ribbons are hand dyed here in Australia, the threads come in silk, mohair and wool.<br />The silk thread come in weigths of Fine, Medium,High Twist, Thick and 2 Ply.<br />
<br />The wool comes in Fine and Medium. These threads will give you lots of options in designing a new project. <br />Kacoonda ribbons are wonderful to use, with 3 sizes to pick from they are 4mm,7mm and 13mm with a large colour range.<br /><br /><br />This shall be all for today, happy stitching from all of us here at Christina's Craft and Gifts. <br />

We also now have heavier slate frames. This has come about due to some feed back that we received saying that our standard frames have <br />a tendency to bend when silk Organza is stretched onto them. Hopefully this problem has now been solved with the heavier frames.<br />

And we have just caught up with all our back orders.<br />You can also get our Slate Frames from The Embroidery Den, Highett Victoria Tel. 03 9532 2142 .<br />We have also last received the NBN, the Internet is just so much faster, some times one just has to wait<br />for small luxuries like this.<br />Well have almost finished with weeding the garden, hopefully there will be time to do some embroidery<br />I am thinking of maybe some bead embroidery,but I am still looking for the right piece.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br />This is all for know, we hope that everyone is busy embroidering as Christmas is only 10 weeks away,<br />from all of us here at Christina's Craft and Gifts.<br />Monikahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15326980652732170437noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-784627993127391693.post-45088824895988688852018-05-26T13:24:00.000+09:302018-05-26T13:24:03.561+09:30Colour in our LifeWell I have been busy, but not with embroidering but with crochtering myself a new jumper for winter.<br />As winter is just around the corner, I know our winters are nothing like the Northen hemisphere, but when those winds come<br />of the Southern ocean you will certainly know about it. <br />As you can see it is in my favourite colour. We all have favourite colours, we use them all the time whether<br />it is in our cloths, embroidery or around our home. That is why when we look in our thread stash we always<br />pick similar colours, colours make us feel good because they are part of who we are.<br />So keep on using your special colours.<br />
