A sneak peek inside the new OT HQ
You may have noticed that things were a little quiet around here over December and January. Well the big news is we moved 1400km South over the Christmas break! It was so much more intense than I’d expected, but now things are slowly settling into a routine and Issue 18 is just around the corner!
I really feel like living in Cairns had a huge influence on the creation and vibe of One Thimble for the first 4 years and I’m excited to see how living in Maryborough shapes it’s future.
Obligatory Family Selfie at our new home
Oh my goodness this is what happens when you’re collectors (ie hoarders) and you haven’t moved for 15 years!!!
… and here she is! Our beautiful new home!
One Thimble HQ is spread across two little sleep out rooms. I’ve got one set up for sewing and the other has my office.
The sewing room … cluttered and crazy and just the way I love it!
Another angle in the sewing room showing, my ironing board and cutting station in the background.
Office space … I have a fancy new chair since this photo was taken.
I’m really looking forward to working with and meeting some local businesses on upcoming issues of One Thimble!
Till next time.
Happy Sewing

Sewing is so much more than needles, fabric and thread. It’s about passionately expressing your creativity and your love of handmade.
