Kia Ora all you Freak Lovers out there!!!!!
Tis I Becky Stott here coming at you from a secret location in Aotearoa, well its not secret just sounds exciting! Im the dreamer who made my first FREAK called Sue for my daughter Ruby! Who designed and made the very Freak you have in your home!
I still design them from our tin shed out back. The first Tin Shed was a single garage that flooded every time it rained heavy- i learnt not to leave anything on the ground and everything a good 20cms from the floor on shelving! Then from our little rented sky blue ex state house we moved into a old villa that has a even bigger tin shed and when it rains we have no floods! This year has been a big year for us, and to get this far is a big pat on our backs but we believe in our product Freakey Frienz and without your support we wouldn't be this far!
Next blog will be the long and awaited "freak a scope" and i will make sure i do this each month for your Freak so that you can have a better understanding of there moods and needs- well its like when you really like someone you start to read there horoscopes and you know its love!
Im now going to give you a brief update on where me and tim are at. We formed a company this year called Freakey Frienz Ltd. Our company designs and manufactuers, Freakeys and Freakey takes a trip Fashion accessorys. We have both never set up business before, Im a ex costume standby for film and theatre and mum, Tims a ex wine maker. We have a vision to make Freakeys and get them all over the world, which we have from our little stall at Aotea Market, Auckland.
Freaks are a long process i'll give you a little run down.
I hand cut a random freak from my fabrics
Sew up-My mums come on board as chef sewer-she is so much better than me!
turn from inside out
eye up
stuff with stuffing-it gives them life - usually its story is coming to me!
sew up bum
accessorize
write story!
Each is handmade and created with time and thought - theres a inside into your freakey maker! I had this person once in the stall saying to my face - I'm going to steal this idea from you, but as i said to them, sure you can but you'll never have the becky mind to be able to create there stories. I think that is a big part of what there about-they are unique as us and make us laugh which is well needed in todays world! I'll go now as i feel i have rambled on enough!
Keep low and look out for booby traps!
