On display soon...

Anyone would think I'd disappeared but life keeps getting in the way of my crafts!!!

As Queen's Birthday weekend approaches I'm frantically sewing up a storm in readiness for the Scrapbook Papercraft Expo Convention at the Brisbane Convention & Exhibition Centre.

Some of my goodies will be "on display" with the wonderful ladies at Point Shoot Play in Classroom 9 - be sure to check out the 'exclusive' Arcadia by Sanae for Moda Fabrics - one off straps.

Why not book into one (or all 3) of the three great classes the Point Shoot Play tutors (Mel, Sara, Andrea & Fiona) are offering over the 3 day weekend - check them out via the convention website.

I'll be there over the weekend - if you want to chat about any special strap orders you might have! Hope to see you there!

New Goodies

The first of the new "male" straps (that's straps not stripers) have been completed (this one a special order for a good friend planning on giving it to a male relative from overseas!)...more to follow soon!

And for Jan ... some red straps to consider ... (any combo of these is possible too!)

Another red option can be found in this previous post - http://madexmanda.blogspot.com/2010/02/whats-black-white-red-all-over.html

Found some fabric you'd love made into a strap for you ... just drop me an email & I'll give you the specifications of fabric required and price to make it up for you!

Finally , a new & improved handy bag - in navy, red & cream - with rooster print! Now includes coordinating fabric cover stabliser in base of bag. Made from flock-lined vinyl, it is 37cm high (17cm handle), 28cm wide and 14cm deep - a very handy size! Other design all sold out at this stage. Updated price - just $20 plus postage!

Email to order or for more details ... scrapmanda@hotmail.com

New Straps are coming...

Whipping up some new "male" SLR straps - so watch this space!

Don't forget if you have a request (particular fabric colour/style) please let me know & I'll do my best to source just the right fabric to suit your style!

Left a few of my new Made.X.Manda business cards at Harvey Norman at Cleveland recently ... sold my first bag via them today ... the lovely Crystal in the photo developing centre is my first HN referred customer ;)

Bargain Price for Selected Straps

Be sure to check out the Trash 'N' Treasure section of the Scap Chat Craft Exchange (free online auction site) this weekend (starting at 4am Saturday morning!!!) for a selection of my camera straps on special - with NO POSTAGE costs THIS WEEKEND only - and ONLY through the Scrap Chat Craft Exchange auction site!

Visit http://scrapchat.net.au/auction/browse.php?id=268 and head to the Non-Craft items section for a limited selection of straps on offer ONLY.

Then check out all the other lovely items for sale over the weekend!

They use a BUY NOW feature - rather than auction - so the prices are already set!

I've also got a 23cm silver charm bracelet (Chamilia) for sale too ;)

Have a great time...

Just wanted to wish Leanne Stamatellos a fabulous trip to the US next week! Leanne is heading off to Las Vegas to WPPI which is an amazing photographic conference. Approximately 12 000 photographers from around the world are expected to fly in to be taught by some of the leading photographers in the world. Have an awesome time Leanne!!!

Leanne's also taking with her a Made.X.Manda strap (her birthday pressy from Chelle)! Love that another of my straps is heading OS!

Thanks too to Nic Finlayson who recently purchased a custom made strap (red & white spots on black) and promoted Made.X.Manda via her blog and Facebook! Thanks Nic!

Time to get Funky!

Love this nice bright & fun (funky?) fabric I'd purchased for a special request for a wristband strap - but think it makes a cool camera strap too!

I've had some nice comments about my "handy" bag and have an order already to fill! Carry my red "seconds" one around with me and it often gets noticed! The lovely lady serving me at Coles on Thursday night even got my blog address so she could check them out! {{Hi}} lovely Coles lady if you stop by!

Some exciting news for Made.X.Manda for later in the year --- but can't spoilt the surprise just yet! Watch this space ;)

What's Black & White & Red All Over?

What's black and white and red all over??? Two of my new straps of course :) Plus another new one - that's been bugging me! Sorry - not funny I know! Watch out later in the week for another new funky strap I'm just finishing off!
