Market organising

I've been spending a lot of time on The Square market the last couple of weeks... a labour of love! Writing posts about some of the stallholders who'll be exhibiting, taking photos of contributions to a very impressive giveaway hamper and also venturing into the world of television production. Yep, check out the crafty little ad my husband and i (well, mostly him actually) made right here in our living room that will be on tv around these parts this week...

 

The market is this Saturday at the Town Hall here in Bendigo. We'd love to see you if you're around! Lots of details over on our website and you can keep up with us on our Facebook page too.

 

Friday

The end of the week... thankfully. You know those weeks that you just don't feel like you've got it together? Feeling disorganised, unprepared and generally not putting your best foot forward? That's me this week. I don't know why and my usual strategies to get myself in check haven't worked so well. There have been good bits, but definately looking forward to the weekend and quiet time.

Now, i'm getting myself a coffee, some chocolate and spending some quality time with the sewing machine. 

My creative space (Mar 17)

As you know, i'm not one to waste pretty paper, esepcially cute or quirky pretty paper. So when i came across some old Frankie magazine pullout calendars on my shelves that i'd put aside aaaages ago, i wanted to put them to a good use... so more notebooks for me!

Remember this one i did a while ago? These are more of the same, just some cheapo school exercise books, spray glue and a wee bit of stitching around the edges...

Clearly much cuter. Looking forward to using them all myself! Although i think the kids have their beady little eyes on them...

The Frankie goodness will last me a little longer :)

And i also attacked some old frames i'd picked up at the op shop a while ago. Nice bright colours and some free art from the Feed Your Soul project. My littlest Moonlet chose what pictures she liked and we'll put them up in her room.

Still two more frames to fill, although i might steal that little yellow one. I have a thing for yellow at the moment.

Do head over to kootoyoo to see what's happening in other creative spaces.

A big fat "thank you" is in order

This weekend i hit 700 sales in my online shop... and although it is only a small thing, that number feels so satisfying. Thank you to all of you who have stopped by over the last couple of years to make a purchase and support my little handmade business!

No wonder it feels like i spend a LOT of time at the post office :)

Two of my favourite words... free postage

For the next few days i'll be doing free postage in my shop for all Australian orders... making this a great time for you to stock up on cards and gifts or whatever! Remember that easter and mother's day aren't too far away now. Just use the code FREEPOST11 during checkout to get the discount.

International customers you certainly haven't been forgotten... every order over $15 (not including postage) will receive a free bunting greeting card. You can see the bunting cards here and be sure to let me know if you have a colour preference (choose from red, blue or yellow).

Thanks guys! Happy shopping :)

Home decorating

I do love the completely random snippets of home decorating that my littlest one does for me... pictures taped here, notes stuck with magnets to the lamp post, things hanging here and there.

Happy weekend to you all... may there be some random splashes of colour and creating in your days too.

My creative space

Oh look. Another stack sitting on the desk half finished. How unusual.

Not.

For more (hopefully more productive) creative spaces head over to kootoyoo. 

As it stands

So. This is where i'm at... the good news is i've been doing lots of sewing so the shop is stocked up!

On the flip side, i've been neglecting the housework so the laundry has piled up and the floors are filthy, someone has pressed the 'autumn' button so this morning was noticably darker and colder, the general list of things i want to get done this week is impressively massive and i'm truly dreading a dentist appointment tomorrow. That's where it's at for me.

But my light at the end of the tunnel is the weekend, which i'm so looking to... a creative project with my man (which i will, of course, share with you here in due course) and some catching up with family.

Ok. To the list.
