Here's some piccies from the market!  Hopeless sales though, I sold 5 the whole day!!!!  So that idea is on the back burner... I'm thinking of setting up an Etsy or Madeit.com shop instead.  I've found that I can post most of my flowers for $1.20 so that won't blow out the cost.

 The white and pink flowers below with 5 crystals in the centre are from overseas and I just sew them onto elastic.... yep, I cheat sometimes!  Only coz they're so pretty, and they're well-made too...

These frilly flowers below were a custom order for a friend... one is on the brown ribbon headband (with elastic) and one is on a clip... I love custom orders - they make me branch out and try something new!

Happy school holidays!!

Bashful...

If that's still a word, I kind of feel it.... it's like I'm an absolute doofus for not updating in a whole month! Sorry!  I have had a really uncrafty month, and managed to get some 'important life stuff' done instead.  Which is good.  Sooo, you want to see a piccie of the tax returns I did?  :P   Anyway, I'll be back....

Rain rain go away....

Rain does not suit Market Day!
Need I say anymore? :(
The upside is that I'm totally stocked for the market THIS Saturday! 
I just realised that there's a few satin flowers I haven't shown you yet....

Why on earth do random photos turn sideways when I'm uploading them?  Weird.

mmm....vintage :)

I just love it!  Trying to get my mojo to go more in that direction....  I doesn't matter what colour chiffon I buy.  I'm dying everything with coffee. :)  What other 'job' requires coffee and candles?  Life's tough hey!

As soon as I figure out what size to make these I'll join the ribbon ends with some elastic to make a vintage headband.  There's 5 sizes.  Newborn, 3-6mths, 6-12mths, 1-5yrs and tween-adult.  Maybe I should do some of each...

My FiRsT mArKeT tHiS sAtUrDaY!!!  Cross your fingers for me!

Don't ask!!!

I'll tell you anyway.  Computer crashed.  Virus.  Fixed!!  Died again.  Fixed again!  3000 word grant application for a local committee done by 5pm yesterday.  Income tax return 2010 not done by 5pm yesterday.  Please visit me in jail.  ;)

Other than that, Miss 7 wanted to make a present for her friend after a fight.  So we made a mini game of checkers, out of cardboard and felt (above).  This fits the challenge at Creative Card Crew.

And some more flowers (below).  Getting stocked up to have some market stalls tHiS mOnTh!!

Annddd.... how cool is it to have a neighbour in her 70's who's got a massive room full of old materials and ribbons and laces... :)  loving vintage atm!  And leopard print!  Not together but.

Have a nice.... weekend?  It's Friday night already!  far out.

*mwah*

A fun girly crafty day...

...produced some new flower styles!  I see potential.... :) :) :)  If only there wasn't a worldwide shortage of chiffon!  If you see any non-shiny chiffon that would make some nice flowers, please let me know where it is!

Tootles!  Off to get some more jobs out the way so I can make some more :)  Just a pity some of those jobs are going to take all week :(  But if it's all done by Friday, I'll be cheering!

The LITTLE version of a man is MUCH...

easier to handle!!!!  Don't you reckon?  Mothers of boys may not agree with me, but I just have ADORABLE nephews!  Oh yes they can be full on too, but at least they are mouldable!  Anyways, here's a baby card for my newest little nephew whom I haven't even shnuggled yet!
