Kalamunda Village Market and Light up Leederville Carnival this weekend

You can't miss this carnival! It is a great event to come along, enjoy great food, have fun with the kids, buy some handmade Christmas gifts and experience great entertainment (incl. fireworks) and music.

It on Sunday 7th December from 12 to 8pm in the streets of Leederville.
Please check this page for all the info

And on Saturday 6th December I will have my last regular Kalamunda Market on my usual spot. After over 8 years of monthly markets I need a little break. I decided that I want to spend more time at home with my two beautiful dogs and just sign up for occasional markets during the year.
It will be a little bit sad as I met so many great people during this time. But as I live just "down the hill" of Kalamunda I will now have the time to come along as a customer and still catch up with all my dear stallholder friends.

Hope I will see you at the markets this weekend.

Victoria Park Street Mall this Sunday 30th November 2014

Come along for a nice evening Christmas event in Victoria Park between Mint and Dane Street from 4 to 8pm.
Enjoy free kids activities, roving and stage entertainment, browse the stalls for handmade Christmas gifts and see Santa. 
Be inspired by crafters and artists in action in the all new Artisan Alley!

I hope to see you there!

Come along for some market fun today at the Scarborough Primary School on Deanmore Road. It all starts at 4pm and you find many craft stalls as well as Food and live music. The perfect way to start the weekend!

Sew busy

My perfect holiday I hear you ask? It's staying home with my lovely dogs and my reliable and hard working BERNINA sewing machine.
And that's exactly what I am doing for the whole month of November.

Here are pictures of the results... and of course a couple of doggy pictures.

Shopping Bags and Kid's bags:

Bunting (also with blackboard material for messages):

Funky felt brooches:

Doorstops, done and still waiting to be filled:

And last but not least some beach-fun-pictures of Libby and Barney:

Happy Holiday!!!

I hope you are having a great weekend and I am looking forward to seeing you at the markets.

And then there was 3 and a perfect day

Let me introduce you to... Barney!
Barney is the latest addition to Libby's and my little family. 
He comes from Bunbury and needed a new loving home which we are so happy to give him. He settled in with the two of us just fine and we love him to bits.
Here some happy snaps of the very handsome and gentle boy:

Can you believe it? He actually has the same parents as Libby! I only found out afterwards when I checked the papers. This was meant to happen. Libby (2.5 years) and Barney (1.5 years) are getting along very well.

Today was a perfect day and I decided to take some pictures to share with you. Its the simple things that make us happy.

Sunshine, so I can hang the washing on my Hills Hoist in the backyard:

Picking some big lemons off the tree and make a mini lemon cake (that didn't last long by the way):

Enjoying the dogs, of course (instead of mowing the lawn):

Making a new dog bed and having it Barney-approved:

Sharing my sofa with my "babies":

And yes, I fit on that sofa as well, it's a bit tight but we love to snuggle ;-)

Hoping you enjoying your days as much as we do. 
Love from Caroline, Libby & Barney
