A Big Hello from Craft Chicks Australia!

Follow our journey as we start out on a new adventure - beginning a business involving our passion for craft!

On this blog we will be getting crafty, and sharing our creations with you.  We plan to write about our crafty endeavours – card making, quilting, machine embroidery, upholstery, as well as our other interests (e.g. cooking, gardening, interior design).

All About Big Chick

I have been sewing for nearly 50 years, starting in a Shirt Factory at 14 and moving onto Upholstery Sewing at 20.  I started Quilting in recent years, since gaining more free time by working part-time at the Post Office.  I also do small upholstery jobs with the help of my husband Greham.   I have also been Papercrafting for the last 7 years, beginning with Scrapbooking and moving onto Card Making.

I enjoy sewing, quilting, upholstery, card making, scrapbooking, socialising with friends, a good drop of wine, Lifestyle TV programs and reading.

All About Little Chick

I have been Papercrafting for about 12 years, starting with Scrapbooking, I became a Creative Memories Consultant for a few years, and more recently began Card Making.  I also started Machine Embroidery about 7 years ago with a little Janome Embroidery Machine.  I have since upgraded to a Brother PR-850 6 needle Embroidery Machine and absolutely love it.  I also love (and wonder how I ever lived without) my Silhouette Cameo.  I only wish I could find more time to craft!

I enjoy card making, machine embroidery, scrapbooking, shopping (especially online ... who doesn't love eBay!), photography, cooking, gardening, reading, travel, history, Lifestyle TV and crime shows.

We are both looking forward to a more creative life when Little Chick sells her current business (Augathella Post Office, Coffee & Gifts) ... hopefully sooner rather than later!  At the moment, we work Full-Time and craft Part-Time ... we would really like to be crafting Full-Time!

We aim to eventually move on to providing craft tutorials, selling craft products, as well as selling our own hand-crafted items.

Please feel free to leave comments ... all feedback is appreciated.

Bye for now,

Little Chick & Big Chick :-)

P.S. Sorry about the Profile Photo ... will have to take a new one ASAP!
