The sewing machine has been running hot, gearing up for my first ever market TONIGHT at the St Peters Ladies Expo!

If you live on Brisbane's southside, i'd love for you to stop by and see me all the details can be found HERE.

I did a mock set up in the middle of our lounge room yesterday to get the right look, So here's a quick sneaky peak.. love to know your thoughts!

My Creative Space.....

Wow, has it really been so long since i was here? You forget how much time a newborn takes up - and how fast the time flies! Can you believe she is 11 weeks already?!!

Neither can she!

busy busy here getting ready for my first ever market - Don't ask me what i was thinking booking myself in for a market just 3 months after having bub.

Never the less, i have been sewing, sewing, sewing every chance i get so in my creative space this week im embarrassed to say that this is the state of my craft desk...


I've never been much good at sticking to just one project at a time so in the midst of making headbands, hairclips, earrings and various other bits for the market i also decided to start a crocheted cot blanket for the little one - so sitting in front of the TV of a night i am working on making 30 of these...


But the major project i am undertaking today is finishing off these super chic clutches for the market


Which will be ones like this one..

Thanks for stopping by and don't forget to visit the home of our creative spaces!

Knock Knock....

IT has been a little quiet here lately mainly due to the fact that i have been a busy bee preparing stock for the Gatton Christmas market. This week i have been working on a new product especially for the Christmas season. So i have been up to my elbows in yarn, felt and hot glue!

I finally finished this project off and thought i would share a quick sneaky peek of some of these new yarn wreaths...



Pretty up any front door and spread some Christmas cheer...
