Kalamunda Market and Growers Green Farmers Market this weekend

If you are looking to do something fun over the WA long weekend come along to one of the markets. You will find me at:

Saturday 1st June 2013: Kalamunda Market, stall no. 157
Sunday 2nd June 2013: Growers Green Farmers Market in Freo
                                  http://www.growersgreenfarmersmarket.com/

I show you what I have been doing the last few weeks:

These "things" (I cannot decide what they are) are so much fun to make. I hope they will get many brothers and sisters soon.

Can you tell that this was still a Nutella jar yesterday morning? Now it has a new life as a pincushionbuttonjar.


And then another order. A lady bought a very similar cushion from me in Freo and asked for another one to match. I screen print the middle pattern on to the cushion.


My sister sent me an issue of Mollie Makes (a very cool craft magazine). It showed how to make stamps. I am very happy with those. The birds wing can be used as wing, rain drop or flower. I will need to make some more, it's addictive ;-) if I only could turn around the first picture... I tried...

That's me for now. Hope you are all having a great weekend ahead.

White IKEA Stockholm Sofa and a puppy

What do you do when you just bought a new white sofa and then realise that your dog loves the thing as much as you do and leaves pawprints all over it?
You sew a patchwork cover. Taaaadaaa...


Now its easy to cuddle on it and wash the covers. Matching pillow cases will follow soon. We are happy now.

Kalamunda & Freo Growers Market 4th & 5th May 2013

First of all a BIG thank you to everybody that came along to the last Kalamunda Market to see me (and of course Libby). We had a great day out.

Already another month is passed and I am ready for a busy market weekend:

Saturday 4th May 2013: Kalamunda Market, stall no. 157
Sunday 5th May 2013: Freo Growers Market 
                                  http://www.growersgreenfarmersmarket.com/

Both market days promise to be big ones due to Mothers day coming up (don't forget that one).


And here is a wrap up of some of my latest work:




I made a lovely flower power bag, some Mothers day toiletry bags, reversible placemats (one side yellow and the other side green) and of course again heaps of doorstops and hairbands.
 
So come along this weekend, join the fun and have a great day out. 

I wish you all a fantastic Friday and a happy weekend.
