small change makes a big statement

February 2nd, 2012

Hi there,

Rochelle (aka nido newbie) here with a fun little face lift you may have noticed in the shop!

Before the makeover, our little chair featured a natural linen seat and high gloss black paint. It’s pretty, but Phiona thought it could use a classy punch…

We kept the black, but went for a matte finish instead of high gloss.

Due to our lack of industrial stapler, we had to get resourceful and bust out the hot glue gun. Not ideal, (unless you’re willing to make a hot mess) but it got the job done!

Beautiful! The new featured fabric is organic hemp, hand screened in Australia by designer Pippijoe. The entire project cost around $40 dollars and can be completed in a day. What a difference! Many customers have already admired the new look, and I have to say I admire it as well. …though I may have a bit of a biased opinion.

Thanks for taking a look!
Rochelle

Rashida Coleman-Hale’s new fabric collection, Washi, is now available in our brick and mortar & online shops.

I am totally thinking quilt for this fabric and so to make it easier on those of us who want a bit of the entire collection, Rochelle has made up fat quarter bundles in both the charcoal and cream colorways.  Thanks Rochelle!

For those of you who have stopped by the shop in the past week or so, you already know that a new look is in the works. Yes, I am in the middle of yet another one of my famous re-arranges but this time it is to fit in TWO more fabric shelves and to make room for more yarn. Oh yes-nido is getting MORE of everything!

Just in this week, another delightful batch of local spinner Jamie Harmon’s colorful “Jamie Rainbow” yarn.

merry making

December 8th, 2011

IMG_3343

I have been SO busy this holiday season stitching for my friends & family and of course, helping all of my lovely customers who are also super busy crafting, that blogging has just been at the bottom of my “to do” list for some time now. In my head I’ve written several but thus far none have actually made it to the computer. So sorry!

I have been instagram crazy lately though, so for those of you who also LOVE the ap and who would be interested in seeing what has been occupying all of my time, find me!  I’m under nidoVT.

Now back to my crafting and merry making!
