Crocheters,
A Weekend of Fun and Excitement: The weekend is fast approaching, and we are thrilled to announce our participation in two incredible events: the McIntosh 1890 Festival and the Melbourne Toy & Comic Con. As owners of Little Luvin Stitches, we wanted to give you a heads-up about these upcoming festivities that promise a delightful experience for all. So mark your calendars, gather your friends and family, because this is an event-filled weekend you won't want to miss!
McIntosh 1890 Festival: Where History Meets Artistry
On Saturday, rain or shine, we will be returning to the renowned McIntosh 1890 Festival. This juried event holds a special place in our hearts as it showcases local talent through a rigorous selection process. Unlike other shows where one can simply pay to participate, artists at McIntosh must pass the scrutiny of a panel of judges who determine their eligibility. It's an honor to be part of this esteemed gathering once again.
Last year's festival was truly remarkable for us, and we are eagerly looking forward to another successful year. We understand that the forecast may call for rain on Saturday, but don't let that dampen your spirits! Come prepared with umbrellas and raincoats because this event is worth braving the weather for. The vibrant atmosphere, talented artisans, delicious food vendors, and lively entertainment make it a day full of enjoyment for everyone.
Melbourne Toy & Comic Con: Unleash Your Inner Geek
On Sunday, get ready for an exciting new adventure as we dive into the world of comics and toys at the Melbourne Toy & Comic Con. This one-day show promises endless fun and geeky delights that will transport you into a realm of imagination and nostalgia. As lovers of all things crochet and craft-related, we couldn't resist being part of this unique event.
While we have primarily participated in festivals in Melbourne before, this new endeavor opens up exciting possibilities. We are thrilled to see what Melbourne Toy & Comic Con has in store for our Little Luvin Stitches team and our fellow enthusiasts. The convention will be a haven for comic book aficionados, toy collectors, cosplayers, and anyone who appreciates the magic of pop culture. From rare collectibles to thrilling panels and interactive experiences, this event is bound to leave you buzzing with excitement.
Show Preparations: Crafting Magic Behind the Scenes
As we gear up for this action-packed weekend, our team at Little Luvin Stitches is working tirelessly to prepare an array of unique crochet creations that will captivate visitors at both events. We may still have a few items left on our crafting checklist, but rest assured that every piece is being carefully handcrafted with love and attention to detail.
From adorable amigurumi characters inspired by beloved comics and movies to cozy accessories that will keep you warm during the fall season, our booth will be filled with treasures waiting to be discovered. We can't wait to share our passion for crochet artistry with you and see your faces light up as you find the perfect piece to take home.
