New fabric in our 'Creative Space'

To kick off the week on Monday we received a large delivery by courier, which resulted in a gasp from both Nicole and I, as we saw a delivery van approaching through the gum trees, turn in, and roll on down the driveway toward our studio doors.  Yep, we knew what it was going to be.

Our latest fabric design called 'inspiration'.  This design has been a work in progress for nearly 12 months now.  You might be thinking you've seen it in our range before, but that's because we were doing small placement prints with it and incorporating it into some of our skirt designs, but now we have printed it onto yardage.

Orders, orders, orders this week have kept us from working with our new fabric.  That is, until today when we unrolled the fabric on the bench. What do you think?  Likey likey?

The design has been printed onto a lovely hemp basecloth, and shown is the black print on stone, and coffee print on the berry.  We also have available dove grey on natural.  Fabrics and products will be available in our online shop in the next few days.

New 'Mookah Moose' Fabric........

Since Mookah was created Nicole and I have had this hidden desire to screenprint our own fabric, although we never quite knew what, when, where or how. Like lots of things around here really. For months now we've been working on a few design ideas, as well as researching and sourcing basecloths, and finding someone to print them for us.

With so much going on we decided to just get one design printed for now just to get the ball rolling, so we went with our simplest design, the 'Mookah Moose'.



The Moose design was inspired by one of Nicole's trips to the US where she was staying with a friend at the Grand Teton National Park. They went to leave their room one morning only to find they were blocked in by a rather large Moose and it's cub!

Who knew there would be so many decisions to make along the way, with the 2 hardest ones being which basecloth we were going to use, and which colours to print. The original plan was to print in 3 colours, red, green and blue, but as we weren't able to get hold of enough of the basecloth we wanted when we needed it, we decided to just run with the red and green for now.


The fabric we chose in the end was an organic cotton/hemp, which is what we ideally always wanted, but it was oh so hard to find 'just the right one'.

I know one little man who thinks it's pretty funky and it matches in perfectly with his red and green bedroom.........


This fabric will be available in floor cushion and beanbag designs next week at Magnolia Square at Malvern Town Hall. Come and say g'day to the Mookah Chicks.

Little parcels in the post....

Oh how we all love those little parcels that arrive in the post don't we? The anticipation of what we will find when we cut through the tape, break open the box and slowly extract the contents.....


This little parcel arrived on Wednesday all the way from the US. It is amazing how the internet has changed our lives. We place an order online, transfer some money, and about 5 days later our order has been received, packed, shipped and travelled across the continent to us girls here in Oz.



This is some of the craft fabric that we will be using to make our range of soft toys in preparation for that busy xmas rush!


Neither Nicole or I are what you would call 'pink' people, but we have deliberately made the effort to source a range of pinks in this order, and I've got to say, they look pretty darn nice! What do you think?

Fabric Galore....

There seems to have been a ridiculous amount of fabrics purchased here since xmas, but when you're out and about and something really catches your eye, well, you just have to have some don't you? Here is a look at a few of the fabrics that were purchased last week and are destined to become Mookah creations.







Can you see a fabric wall hanging, throw cushions and matching ottoman in one of these fabrics in your house?
