Bizness Babes Talk

March 17, 2009 · 4 Comments

Sitting in a room with bizbabes is just like sitting in the middle of a Powerhouse – it can be very explosive!

I met personally Edwina a fellow KIWI with previous experience as an RN and in prisons so she was able to give me fantastic ideas towards my project idea woohoo – also Claire from Craft Schmaft who makes patterns and I look forward to catching up with her on a craft level which we both love!! Korinne was inspiring as one of 4 mums with children of autism who set up their own organisation for Autism Advisory & Support Service and is currently working in conjunction with Mission Australia on a relevant project not to mention her own personal business Forever Impressed for Photo Designer Handbags (where does she get time for it all) WOW there were 17 of those kinds of amazing women.

We talked about my journey through the BIB program, the product ideas I had, what happened to those and how that was really a precursor for where I’m at now going to the School of Social Entrepreneurs.  Also, being intuitive especially as women and how the doors closed on some of my ideas but that meant other doors opened creating much better opportunities than I could’ve imagined.

Just seeing what previous bizbabes are accomplishing right now in business and journeys of self development I can’t begin to imagine what they’re going to be doing a year from now let alone what they’re capable of achieving…Thanks Grp 5 BiznessBabes for your koha ( gift) it was gratefully received and all of us at home have enjoyed the hand creams including Kiri lol

So a great big mihi/ greetings to all of you!!!

Maori Design on Purse

February 10, 2009 · Comments Off

Maori Designed Purse
Maori Designed Purse

I made this yesterday with fabric i love – the red polka dot is a Kaffe Fassett fabric and the black has cherries on it – I probably won’t use that again and go for a bold colour instead like turqoise blue or black so the design is clearer.

So here is the lining on the inside – considering it’s the first one not bad for a tutu/ mucking around aye.

I’d like to make alsorts of sizes with different NZ Maori fabrics and designs so hopefully there will be more to come.
