I am preparing for a busy Jacaranda Festival this Saturday. It will be my first time at the Festival in Applecross and I am very much looking forward to it.
So far I heard a lot of good feedbacks about the market and the weather should just be perfect on the weekend.
Ian and Libby will most probably join me on Saturday and combine it with a swim near by in the Swan River.
Here a picture of my new Christmas stockings. As I am a new dog Mum I had to come up with some pet stocking this year (I made dog and cat stockings). Libby is all excited and is counting the sleeps until Christmas ;-))
Hope to see you at the Jacaranda Festival or on one of the other markets that I signed up:

OMG!!! I better keep calm and keep sewing!!!
I have been very keen lately on Mexican oilcloth and had so many ideas what I could do with it. Here some pictures of what I came up with so far, a blackboard for kids on the go (keep them busy in the car, in the restaurant or anywhere where it's "boring"), storage baskets that fit the IKEA Expedit bookcases, funky peg bags that help make the job of washing enjoyable, lunch bags and small kids pocket money wallets.
I am sure I will come up with more shortly.

I have been sew sew busy the last few days and weeks and I am proud to show you my latest "pieces".
As it will be Libby's 1st Christmas this year I had to come up with something for her ;-) She doesn't mind the bell at all and it sounds like we have a little Swiss cow in the backyard. After Christmas the bell can be easily removed and the scarf looks just as good for the rest of the year.
Talking about dogs... there is now a funky way to take the poo bags on the walks. It clips with a hook to the lead and the little bag could also hold a few coins or a key. We never run out of poo bags again.
Talking about Christmas...These are my 2012 Christmas hangers. Can you tell my favorite color and pattern ;-) ?
Another way to use my many little pieces of fabric (that I just cannot throw out). Little pin cushions that are like mini cushions.
And of course some more doorstops as they always sell well.
Last winter I ordered plenty of new ribbons and finally I had the time to make some more pencil cases. They turned out very cute and I am sure it will be hard to make a choice with so many to choose from.
So that's it for now. Hope to see you at one of the markets.
Caroline
