Those photos are too cute!! We have just done a year of ballet with little Boo, but this year she wants to go back to gymnastics, not that much of a dainty ballerina Im afraid - she had an awful lot of fun though. I love the costumes and hair and all the playing "pretty" stuff. And good on you for the crotchet - I want to do that one day soon too!!

I am so glad that the tutorials are helpful to you!! That is just what I need to hear to keep them coming! I am also so glad that you enjoy our designs - thanks soooo much for your sweet words :) Have a great end to your week, Melly

Pleasure Greetingarts!! I think it will make things a little easier for a few people - at least I hope so! It is great to have something to show too while I am having this creative hiatus! Thanks so much for leaving your sweet comment and have a fabulous week, Melly

Hi there Sarah, So glad that you love the fabric. I think the range is called "Oh Boy" from Free Spirit. It is ultra cute hey?? On 29/09/2009, at 6:50 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Hi there Angela - how fabulous!!! That is so exciting that you will be there! I have to admit I am not that excited at this stage but more jittery about leaving the kids and the horrible 30 hours of flying and transit! Always have a complete ball once there though! We are in booth 1013. Pleeeeease come and see us and if we are acting dumb them please let us know who you are, it can be overwhelming there sometimes with so many people coming to see us and we forget who everyone is and were we know them from. Silly I know, but I also know it happens! Do you go to Market every year? This is our 3rd year in a row and we just love being a part of it so much. Look forward to seeing you and safe travels :) Take care Melly On 29/09/2009, at 2:31 AM, [email protected] wrote:

That is so cool that you are going connie!! Unfortunately we only give ourselves one day after market to go and shop/sight see and then we head back on the 14th to snuggle our kiddies and give them lots of presents that will hopefully ease our mummy guilt - LOL!! We are gone 10 days just doing market (including set up) and having one day to ourselves at the end due to all the time spent in the air and transit (oh, I DONT want to think about it!!) I hope you will have a ball though and it is such a shame, it would have been so nice to meet you! On 29/09/2009, at 2:33 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Thanks Stephanie :) They are my faves too!!! :) I would like to take credit for designing my own shirt but I am sorry to say that my design talents do not go as far as clothing.... Maybe one day I will try??!! On 28/09/2009, at 8:43 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Yes - TOOOOOO busy, as you may notice by the fact that I never replied to your last email! Man I cant wait for December when all of the trade show and teaching and deadlines are finished....ahhhhh! We must catch up for that coffee when I am back from Houston when the kiddies are back at school and kinder. I cant wait to be home already. I do love being there but I find all of the stress and travel and work to be a bit too much, worth it I hope! Hope you are having a great time and enjoying the school holidays!

Hi there Connie, Sorry to disappoint but we only do Quilt Market!!! We only wholesale and dont retail, also I think it may be a logistical nightmare for us to try and do both from Australia. I nearly loose the plot just doing market!!! I hope you will have a great time at Festival though!!!!!! Melly On 28/09/2009, at 11:50 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Thanks so much Brigid!! We will be flying through LA but that is about as close to California as we will get - LOL!! It is always duck in and duck out for us so that we can get home to the kiddies ASAP. Oh the mother guilt that is beginning!!!!! On 22/09/2009, at 12:10 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Cant wait to see you again too!!!!! If we get confused make sure you let us know who you are again as we always get so overwhelmed there and have so many people coming to see us that we sometimes have trouble keeping up!!!! It is only 9 sleeps until we leave now and I am getting soooooo nervous and soooooooo much mother guilt!! YIKES On 22/09/2009, at 10:22 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Hey there Gail, The pattern is all ready and heading out there, of course I have no idea when it will hit you locally! I hope you are going well and creating away!!! Have a great end to your week!!! Melly On 22/09/2009, at 1:41 AM, [email protected] wrote:

It is, once we are there!! I am one of those get excited once there kinda people. The lead up is too stressful and I am always convinced I will die on the way there (you gotta hate flying fear!!!!) Once I am in Houston on terra firma I will start to enjoy!! We always have such a blast there! Am absolutely ADORING those robots on your blog - you are too clever for your own good girl!

Hi there Diana, Thanks so much for your kind words and I am so glad that you like my new design! Apologies if I have spoken to you before and have forgotten, but what is your connection with Korea? I love Korea so much and wish I could up and live there for a while! Have been dreaming about it lately :) Hope you are having a great weekend and take care, Melly On 18/09/2009, at 11:39 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Hi there Debbie, Thanks so much for your message and I am so glad that you love our "Owl & Pussycat" pattern! If you have a look at our blog you will find a list of online sellers under country headings on the left side bar. Hopefully you should be able to find the pattern there! Good luck and thanks again for your sweet words! Melly On 11/09/2009, at 2:18 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Thanks so much Corrie, Yes, it so nice sometimes isnt it!!! I love it but for now I am going to have to get moving and stop being so slack!! I love the sound of the Sherbet bag made up with Flower Sugar - that will be oh so very sweet! the new flower sugar is so much fun! Houston is so amazing and you really should try and get there one day - we are just blown away each year and it is like an addiction it is so great. Hope you are having a great week :) And that the chicken pox has left the building! Melly On 10/09/2009, at 7:39 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Hi there Robyn and thanks so much for your email!! I think that the reason you sometimes get ovals may be that you are pulling the stitches with a bit too much tension. I used to have the same issue but have now started being a lot more gentle when satin stitching and seem to be getting much better results. I hope this helps and I hope you have a beautiful week melly On 09/09/2009, at 11:44 AM, [email protected] wrote:

Thanks so much Mary!! We have too much fun! On 08/09/2009, at 11:00 PM, [email protected] wrote:

Hi there Marianna and thanks so much for your lovely comment! Yes, you can find our patterns in the Netherlands! iF you have a look on our blog we have a listing of online stockists on the left side bar. Scroll down to Europe and you will see two shops there in the NL. There may also be more physical stores. Another option is there is something that you cant find is to go to www.underthemulberrytree.com and order from Australia - this shop stocks our complete range. I hope this helps and thank you again :) Melly On 09/09/2009, at 12:07 AM, [email protected] wrote:
