It`s Tuesday and i can`t wait...

It`s Tuesday and i can`t wait to go and move it like Mike I`ll be going for a bike ride and i`m not sure where i`ll go , think i `ll try a new route today.I also cant wait to start working on my new cushions and playing with the gocco. I`ll report back later with what i found on my ride.

gocco

Wow i`m so excited, when i got my gocco back in Auckland the screens it came with were no good .Finally i got some new ones yesterday and i`ve just tried it out. I`M IN LOVE with this little machine . These are my first few practise prints. I`ll have a good play tomorrow.

Daylesford Makers Market

First thing Saturday morning Brendan and i loaded the car up and headed off to Daylesford for the makers market When we got there we stopped into a little cafe for breakfast, the lady must have just opened as we were the only ones in there and it was freezing not even the hot chocolate was going to warm it up. I just hope she turned the heating on as the day just got colder.

When we got to the hall it was buzzing with people setting up for the day, it was such a lovely town hall i forgot to take photo`s, but i `ll get some next time.

My stall was next to Alison who is just as lovely as her Lark products. I also met Steph from The Doily whose blog i follow, she makes the sweetest clocks from old china plates.

The market started at 10 and the people just poured in, it was busy all day . Cam from Curlypops and tinniegirl stopped by to say hello ,Cam was wearing one of her flower brooches which looked fantastic.

The new belts and booties were the biggest hit of the day . I`m now working on some new products for the sonny and coco market on the 5th of July.

I can`t wait for the next one.

moving it like Mike

I`ve signed up over at Meet me at Mikes to move it like mike. This means that i`ll be getting out everyday for some much needed exercise.I`ll be riding my Townie down the Upfield track from Coburg to Brunswick across Sydney Rd into Lygon St, up into Nicholson st back into Coburg.I had been doing this the last few weeks but spent most of last week on the couch with a cold, so i`ll be getting back into it tomorrow and i`m going to document my bike ride here,with photo`s of what i find on the way.

Sunday stash on Monday

I was lucky enough to win this cute fabric from the haby goddess It reminds me of the cute little momiji dolls. I`m not quite sure what i`ll make out of it just yet.I`m sort of thinking along the lines of a little coin purse to carry my tram money in.

New hoodies size 12-20

new knitted brooches

my fave the booties

I spent today in the Olive Grove surrounded by crafty goodness . While i was there i was able to spend some time finishing some booties for the market on Saturday, i`ve still got a few more to finish and i`m playing around with some in denim with a felt sole, i think they will look great once they start to fray.

I think i will focus more on accessories for this market than clothing however i will have a little bit of clothing, some winter hoodies, halter tops that can be worn winter or summer ( there is a couple of tricks to these top/dresses) skirts and if i can get some wendy dresses finished in time, i`ll also have some mini Polly Pratt dresses for the little ladies.

It`s Tuesday and i can`t wait
