IT'S RAINING IT'S POURING

When the rain comes out I always make my way to pinterest of late to give me some great indoor kids crafts to do with Harrison. He loves craft and sewing so anything that he can either get a little messy with or get hands on he loves so this week we did some Foot painting and we turned his huge size 9-10 feet into reindeer's this was a great idea I saw on Pinterest and loved it. So cute....What indoor craft ideas do you have or have seen lately?

Cute Moments and New Stock

This week Harrison had his Santa photo taken and I love asking the ladies to take a shot of Harrison talking to Santa (This is my fave moment.) He is asking him this year for a  RED computer....( Which I have had on layby since June & Harrison hasn't forgotten it!) So when I asked him what he wanted for Christmas he said that RED computer you told Santa about on the phone when I was good remember Mummy...Yes that's right my 3 year old forgets nothing.

Harrison's cuz Lochie loves to play around and here is Kent (my brother) and Lochie playing with my Moustaches at Cobbitty Markets in November...

This Christmas I have sent Shop Handmade some lovely new NOEL & JOY bunting and some lovely new Heart decorations for the Tree. I'm also currently working on some lovely wreaths which should be in the post next week. 

BETTER LATE THEN NEVER

I know ...this post is a little late but my Harrison has been keeping me away from the computer lately with his demanding finger clicking ways and his Mummy every second of the day high pitched yelling...ahhhhh

Only 5 more weeks with the Cast on ...ahhhhh...

Mario and I stayed over in Canberra for our 11yr anniversary and of course the first stop was a visit to Shop handmade and it  was amazing.

I was able to take a few shots of the shop for you all to marvel over I happen to have one of these amazing ponies already for Harrison and how cute do they look peeping over the cabinet. They are from Two by Two.

 The front display looks so lovely all set up for market day always love seeing what the girls have done in the front window or front display. Being so far from this amazing shop means I have to wait for little snippets of loveliness through there blog.

My husband fell in love with the amazing art works around the shop.

 These trucks where his fave.

Gifts Created was displayed around the shop and had a little home upon the shelf....

Taking Photos

OK so over the last few nights I have been reading up on some sites on the web on how to take great photos for selling your products on line.

So today while the sun was hiding and it was pouring down with rain I travelled the whole 3mins to my Mums and Dads to have a go at taking some photos of both her amazing handmade loveliness (stay tuned for a sneak peek at the photos soon) and while I had everything set up I had a chance to take some photos of my new crochet bunting.

I can see they still need a bit of improving on however not bad for a 1st attempt.

I'm in love with the brights of this bunting.

Don't fear ladies and gents of Canberra I will be sending some down to Shop handmade some time next week.

HANDMADE MARKET THIS SATURDAY

Well it's time again to travel to Canberra for the amazing Handmade Markets held on the lovely grounds at Kamberra Wine Company. I have been so excited for the last month however as I have been suffering from Bronchitis for over 2 weeks now I was afraid that I wasn't going to be able to attend but to my excitement I awoke this morning without a headache, blocked nose and wheezing however as anybody who has had bronchitis knows the cough and out of breathlessness stays with you for a long time...So I will be rugging up and so happy I'm extra happy to have a lovely cozy spot indoors.
