MARKET WRAP UP

Saturday at Mathilda's Market Sydney was an amazing sunny day full of lovely families out for a fun filled day of shopping. There was an amazing selection of stall holders. And thanks to my lovely darling husband I was able to have a walk around a few times to say hello to my lovely market lady friends...It was lovely to see you all again. 

The hall looked amazing and is a lovely setting for Sydney's Mathilda's Market and the best thing is that it is now in conjunction with Boutique Market so Mummy can now shop for her self too...(And that I did I scored some lovely earrings that I wore to a baby shower on Sunday.)

My mother from Forever Beautiful Creations also had a stall which looked amazing although she was still in her wheel chair it was great to see her out and about and her daughters weren't far away Emily from Short & Sweet was right next to me and My was right across from me so it was perfect for our family of Market ladies and all our Men were there to support us.

My amazing friend from Giggle Spot Designs was also there with a new addition to her family I'm calling him Wally the Whale he is so cute with his droopy eyes I'm totally in love with him I mean how could you not be.

All GROWN UP

Ok so this weekend I didn't get much work done. I spent Saturday working on up grading my little ones room to a more playfull and useful bed room...and wallla!

I purchased this really cute Michael Miller fabric quilt, pillow and rug from Allies Attic in Paddington last year and have been wanting to make matching curtians but hadn't known where to start...But after meeting my Mum and Dad at Ikea last week I found the perfect curtins and took some of the matching fabric and sewed a strip of it over the animals that came with the curtians...I love it when things come togther.

Harrison's room of course had to have a set of my magical mushrooms for him to look at when my darling husband read's him his books that he loves ever so much these days...



My mother found this old desk on the side of the road years ago and kindly gave it to me and since then it has sat in the garage until last week when my Father in law sanded it down and gave it a new lease on life.
Harrison just loves it and thinks it's neat to hide things in...

Harrison loves his new room and to tell you the truth so do I.

A weekend well spent on my little one...

now must catch up on some orders and sewing before next weekends big event

HANDMADE in canberra....YEAH!

Toadstools or Mushrooms

I'm in the process of putting together my kits and patterns for Stitches and Craft in April and have come across a dilemma what to call my pattern Mushrooms or Toadstools???

What do you think?

People have often said to me I love your mushrooms but don't know where to put them as I don't have little kids.....Well just a little look at where my mushrooms ended up last week I use to have them in the lounge room but they have made there way to the kitchen....So in response to the questions the limit to where they can pop up is all up to you and your imagination...

Mushroom fix

In Light of my up coming markets I have been kept busy making Mushrooms this week....Oh how I love to make my very cute mushrooms.

I am also trying to get my act together this year and be much more productive and organised. This was only a few of my new years resolutions.
I'm finding I'm already falling behind.
I have also been spending a little time designing so have fallen behind on my sewing and replenishment of stock...but the good news is I now have Babushkas and little houses to add to my collection.
so all I'm left with is ahhhhhh there I feel better now! and now back to the sewing machine.

Facebook Give away

OK so I have been neglecting my face book page a little of late and want to spend some time focusing on it this year....So it's giveaway time and look what I have up for grabs a small red button mushroom so very cute and all you have to do is be a fan of my facebook page EASY head on over to facebook and become a fan for your chance to win. The mushroom will be given away to a random fan once we reach 100 fans so spread the word, leave a comment and fingers crossed for you!...

ALLIE'S ATTIC HANGOVER

I'm so happy to say that Allie's Attic at Hunters Hill on Saturday was a success. Although the crowds were a little down on what I had anticipated I put this down to the hot day. However I made the most my down time and walked around and meet a lot of lovely ladies and lads whom had wonderful stalls....Thanks to those of you who came by to say hello and it was lovely to met some new faces...I will have to post some photos of some of the stands that I feel in love with on the day...Stay tuned..

Such a lovely setting for a market.

The quality of stall holders were right up there and had such lovey wears. The grounds were just gorgeous and really added to the feel of the day....I was without child on Saturday and got to spend some time with my husband which was a joy and I wouldn't have been able to attend Allie's without his help...SO a big thanks honey!

My stand on the day. I was lucky to have been given a lovely spot..And was able to spread out...The only bummer was the sun and the sun burn to go along with it.

My new birdcages were a hit with the customers.


Hello to my new mini Owls and guess what "They squeak"

The favourite of the day would have to be the mushrooms.

I sold out of my mushroom family's....SO I guess back to the sewing machine for me as I have Bathurst Markets coming up this week and lots of orders to finish and post.

The count down has began

Well I'm certainly counting down the sleeps untill the Sydney stitches and craft show begins .

I have a to do list that is just getting bigger and not smaller every day.

I have now finished all of my mushroom families and had a chance due to the weather man to get some fresh air and take some lovely photos.

This gives you all a sneek peak on what to expect from Gifts Created this August.
