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.

another one for the flock

i would like to introduce you to millicent (milli for short)

this little lady likes to snuggle all day long. she is very fond of classical music coupled with a chilled glass of sweet champagne. she has a high IQ and loves the challenge of a cryptic crossword. she is a loyal friend and will be there for you in your time of need.

there you have it another gorgeous girl to add to my flock.

i cant help post about two other things that were made in our household over the weekend. first of all middle child ~ mia ~ stitched this and filled it with 'treasures'

i drew the outline and then blanket stitched it into a pouch. that house is stitched all by mia my almost 5 year old.

then last night we enjoyed a celebration at my fathers house and we took this to share. we were celebrating lilis 7th birthday, renatas 23rd birthday and australia day.

chocolate swirl cake with butter icing... mmmmm

i am working on another design which has a connection with the shape of my youngest child's birthmark.... i will keep you posted on it's progress.
