market day and new makes

well market day was a big ball of fun and success!! i enjoyed sitting back in the cool surrounds out at petrie markets with my market buddy Renata and selling my hand made pretties. you can read a bit more about it over on my other blog agapanthas and goldsworthy.

and after the market day was over i promised myself a mini break from crafting and stitching...that lasted all of 2 HOURS as i put together another lavender dress and this....

YES it is my very first attempt at a gorgeous and useful heat wheat bag! i am finally using some of the corduroy i bought ages ago and made this segmented bag of therapy.

you simply fold it to fit in your microwave and heat it for approximately 2 and half minutes. i will be making many of these to sell at my next market stall on the 23rd of this month. i wont be adding these to my online stores as the cost to ship them would be too hefty, so the only way to get your hands on one is to come and visit me in person:) i am still not sure on a price yet but i am thinking between $20 $25, what do you think? is that a reasonable price? too much or too little? you know i just love your advice!!

plus i am finally back onto this little beauty...

i started it so very long ago that i cant even find the post about it...

i have progressed...

i have almost even finished it... there is one part that i absolutely HATE but i would have to unpick so much that my heart would break... i will show you one day and you might be able to help me overcome the problem.

anyhow, thanks for your support leading up to my first market day. we will be out again later this month and would just love to see you there. come and support local hand made, you wont be disappointed.

have a great Wednesday.

getting ready for my first market stall

we have finally set a date for our market stall, i say we as i will join forces with my niece of Renata Clarke Designs. we have decided on the 2nd of May at petrie markets. i have few things made but of course now that i have a deadline i will endeavour to make as much as possible.

i will of course be offering my handmade cards and will attempt to make a few more mothers day inspired beauties like these...

if you get the chance pop over to Renata's blog and check out her gorgeous quilled art. her cards are just wonderful plus she will be selling some of her jewellery at our stall as well. i will be back with a few photos of what will be on offer.
