Big News

I should be tidying my house .....................I still have boxes everywhere.

But I had to stop to tell you my big news.

Last week I got the most wonderful invitation.

I have been invited along with nine other crafters to sell my wares at the 

"Hawkes Bay Baby and Child Show"

Here is the link:

I am just so excited. 

I have had a couple of sleepless nights planning in my head all the things I want to make.

I have been busy ordering more felt, more name labels, more wool fleece for stuffing and the list 

goes on...................and on.

Once my house is in order I can start sewing.

I am thinking I will start with some Bambi's.

Here's a few I made a couple of years ago for a friends shop in Zurich.

Market

Here are some pictures of my stall on Saturday.

It was an enjoyable day with my friend Mandy by my side helping me out.

Its just a small post today as we just had carpet laid in the bedrooms of our 1920's house today.

My house is all upside down, but ooh it is so much warmer.

I am off to return it to order.

This Moment

 

{this moment} - A Sunday ritual. A single photo - no words - capturing a moment from
the week. A simple, special, extraordinary moment. A moment I want to pause,
savor and remember.

Tree of Love

I am once again madly sewing away. 

I woke early yesterday morning with a bolt of inspiration.

I was sewing away at 6am while Master O was still sleeping.

When he did arise he looked at me like I was a little mad and asked me if I was all right.

So I thought I would just show you a couple of pictures for some of the new Hottie Bottle Covers I am doing.

Markets

 I had a lovely time at the Devonport Craft Market yesterday.

I met some great people, I was given some wonderful advise by other sellers, and I nearly sold out of Hot Water Bottle Covers!

This Saturday I am of to another market :

The Titirangi Mums Market

This market takes place on the second Saturday of each month, 10 to 2pm at Kaurilands School Hall (109 Atkinson Rd, Titirangi).

It's a market that I have never been too so I am not sure what it will be like.

It's an adventure......................that's what life is all about.

 One sunny day last week I took a couple of pictures of a few of things I have been making.

With my love of green I just had to make a little Green Elephant.

Here's another bag that I finished up in pinks and greens.

As Winnie the pooh used to say TTFN

(Ta ta for now..........................................)

Peonies

Making all these hair clips and bags covered in flowers has made me think. 

What are my favourite Flowers? 

I am still not sure................................................

My sister Gabrielle's favourite flowers are Peonies and when you look at this  picture you can see why.

This latest bag has beautiful rich red roses on the fabric.

See you Sunday.
