Various Announcements

Recently I've discovered that there's a down-side to being all environmentally-aware and waste-not-want-notty....
A few years ago there was "The Great Make-Up Purse Disaster" here at Nicole Mallalieu Design - when a mutant pattern found its way into the Make-up Purse kits.

The pattern was not symmetrical and was a bit shorter than it ought to be... not that there's anything wrong with that (I'm a bit like that, myself)... but you know what I mean. The instructions were still fine - EXCELLENT, in fact ;) - it was just that the pattern wasn't what it promised to be.

Way back then, I carefully went through every invoice to find the people who had purchased a make-up purse kit and sent them a copy of the right pattern - just in case. I then went through all the unpacked patterns and separated all the wrong-uns from the right-uns.

THEN.... I thought, "Gosh, that's a lot of paper.... I could USE that for something!!" so put it in a box and forgot all about it.

Fast forward about 3 years..... and a box of make-up purse patterns is discovered and packed. Sent out to people....

OH DEAR!

If you have recently bought a Make-up Purse Kit that has the style number BO366 instead of BO385, please let us know and we'll send you the right pattern. If you don't have proof of purchase (invoice number, PayPal or bank deposit date) you can post us the actual wrong-un pattern and we'll make up the cost of your postage with a spare zip or something.

In happier (and slightly less stressful) news - the winner of the November Spend Over $50 draw prize is Sally Lamb from Queensland. Sally wins a $25 voucher to spend in our shop. To be in the next draw, all you have to do is spend over $50 in the month of December. You could win the hat pattern of your choice.

There will also be news soon of an exciting new hat interfacing.... Vilene S320 has arrived in Australia, and only at Nicole Mallalieu Design!!! Stay tuned for that one.


And lastly, the MOST IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT....

We are closing for our annual Christmas break from Wednesday 23rd December to Tuesday 12th January. If you're planning to get up to crafty business in that time (as I am) you'd do well to stock up beforehand....
