super quick post

i have been working my fingers to the bone trying to get enough chrismassy stock put together for our 'Christmas in July' market day this Sunday the 18th July out at the petrie markets. come visit our little stall, we wont bite and we wont make you buy anything, you might just feel compelled to buy something from my SALE table!

Renata has been quilling her heart out and has created some amazing cards, you seriously must check her blog out here

i wanted to have so much more made but holidays + crafting = zilch output. holidays are over and i seemed to spend all day at the shops running errands for the home AGAIN. i have promised myself a day at home tomorrow but secretly want to go shopping for clothes...i begin relief teaching this term and already have next Tuesday booked for a prep class at my girls school. cant wait but would also like a new outfit to boost my esteem :) OK enough chit chat, i have crafting to do!

i have added a few photos of some of my offerings. come see our tree and grab an early Christmas gift!

i sold out of these last year, very pretty one of a kind glass baubles.

scented hearts to hang in your closet or brighten your day.

scented birds and Christmas tags.

of course all of my usual goodies will be there as well.

now i have Bing in my ear sing happy holidays...

almost famous

another market Sunday has passed and although i was fearing the cold winters chill, the morning was actually quite mild. the wind did pick up mid morning and each time a gust came we had to jump up to make sure our pretties didn't go flying away. i was pleased with my sales but it seems as though people are happy just to walk around the markets and soak up the atmosphere and get there fill of popcorn and little pancakes. we were lucky enough to get our photo taken by a local journalist and it is featured in our local paper the pine rivers press on page 34. nothing like a bit of free advertisement!

the following photos show some of the things we have on offer every 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month

Renata's fabulous quilled gift boxes and cards these are proving to be very popular with passers by and even some interest in lessons on quilling.

Renata recently sold a similar framed version of this quilled butterfly from her online shop. head to her blog to view her range and purchase a piece of her art.

she has also made little gift tags, these are so sweet.

i have a range of cards as well however mine are mostly vintage style and hand stamped.

pretty little clutchables

dresses filled with lavender for your drawers. 2 little sisters bought one each :)

tic tac toe to go in reddish fabric as well as the babushka fabric. and heat wheats and snugglies...these proved popular, i just love all of the colour choices.

there are more photos but i thought that was enough. so as you can see, something for everyone and more :)

now off to work on an order or two :)

been busy....

as luck would have it, this week i have had 2 child free days which meant that i could sew to my hearts content. i became good friends with my sewing machine and churned out all of this in one day. dang..the photo didn't rotate..anyhow i managed to make... 6 'snugglies' which are heart shapes filled with wheat but with no segments so that the wheat is able to form to wherever you are placing it. i like to pop them on my feet or belly or anywhere where i am cold or feel pain. these will be available at our market stall for $10. 5 rectangular heat wheat bags with 4 segments which are perfect for the neck and back and will be available for $15. and 1 curved heat wheat bag with 6 segments perfect for the neck and shoulders. i have only made 1 and it will be available for $20. i am really pleased with how the bags all turned out they are perfect for this time of year...although i use my heat wheat ALL year round! on the second child free day i managed to finish off my little pieces of whimsy which will look just lovely on our market stall this Sunday the 13th of June....we will be regulars the second and fourth Sunday of each month and i will continue to add items to my online store. i finished this little fella...eeeppp he is so cute!! to see more photos head here or here i finished the two bottles, they just look so pretty with all of our other collectible items. really sweet, they would make a lovely addition to a dresser or a vignette of olden day items. i will add these to my online stores when i get the chance. well i best be going to bed...it is after 11pm and i seem to have a 4 year old who like to wake me at least 5 times during the night...*yawn* hope to see some of you at the petrie markets this sunday. our usual spot down by piggots. xxrosey

how regular are you?

strange title?? well thanks to some wheeling and dealing by the lovely Linda of Lilly cottage Renata and i will be regulars at the petrie markets. yep same spot every 2nd and 4th Sunday and in our place the famous Linda and her van of pretties will be on show. so each Sunday you will be sure to find something pretty, handmade or vintage to give as a gift to someone or yourself. i forgot to take along my camera so i cant show you shots of what was sold but along with some lavender hearts and other pretties, a heat wheat bag that looked like the one in the picture only with the pink fabric

and the cutest little panda bag charm that was taken home by a gorgeous tween.

sort of like this little shroom girl (turn your head or your computer to see her the right way up) only it was a cute cute cute panda with a stick of bamboo.

so i have a bit of a break until the 13th of june, our next market date. i have some other ideas up my sleeve but will also make a few more heat wheat bags using the other corduroy colours that i have. Renata and i have also talked about a Christmas in July themed Sunday so keep us in mind if you wish to host your own festive party and wish to gift your guests with something christmassy and handmade.

check out my other blog (my family blog) agapanthas and goldsworthy to see how badly my little one cut her head...

off to have a cuddle with that little one.
