Lovely day

I had such a lovely day at the Devonport Craft Market today.

How was your Sunday?

Crafternoon Tea tomorrow

I'm all packed up and ready to go first thing tomorrow morning.

It's Crafternoon Tea time again.

Come along if you are in the area. It's great fun and there are lots of yummy cafes/restaurants nearby for lunch.

Market day tomorrow!

It's the first Devonport Craft Market of the year tomorrow and I'm pretty excited. Looking forward to catching up with friends and having a great day. Hope to see some of you down there. 32 Clarence Street, Devonport, 10-3pm. 

Happy Valentines Day!

New stuff and yesterday's market

Here are a few photos of my stall at yesterday's Anniversary Day Art and Craft Market on Selwyn Reserve including some shots of my new design kids tees.

Tomorrow...

I'll be sharing a stall with Vicky from Te Pono (gorgeous brightly coloured resin tikis) at the Auckland Anniversary Day Art and Craft Market on Selwyn Reserve in Misson Bay. Keeping my fingers crossed for some fine weather! It's going to be a lot of fun whatever the weather.

I have some lovely new kids appliqued tees (sharks for the boys and fairy wands for the girls) which I'm really pleased with. Of course, I haven't managed to take any photos so will take some tomorrow on the stall. Here are a few pics of the market from previous years (courtesy of Chris Sutton, the organiser of the event).

Catch up...

Phew. It's been a busy old week this last one. It's our biggest Devonport Craft Market of the year this coming Sunday so we've been running around like crazy things sorting that all the little bits and pieces that need to be done for that.



Sarah of Songbird Designs (who organises the DCM with me) and I shared a stall space at a wonderful school fair last weekend. It was at the Michael Park Steiner School in Ellerslie which is an extraordinairy and magical place, full of beautiful wooden buildings and lovely grounds.

It was great to meet lots of lovely new people and lots of our things went to new homes.

That means a lot more sewing and making before this Sunday!

After all the excitement and exhaustion of the weekend, I ended up with a horrible migraine on Sunday night and missed out on the Craft Social. Sarah very kindly took my Santa for the Christmas themed swap down and I was lucky enough to get these beautiful beaded decorations from Helene of Mira Design.

And if that wasn't enough excitement for one week, it was my birthday yesterday.

I wasn't "seventy something" as my darling daughter told someone at school. Still 30 something but edging very close to the big F word! I had a wonderful day with great friends who made it very special for me. My lovely other half managed to come home far earlier than I expected from the event he was organising and brought me these stunning flowers.

I wish you could smell the roses. They smell like gardenias. Just beautiful!

Skin of my teeth

Just about to go and pack my car for Kraftbomb but couldn't resist including a pic of my latest stall additions.

See you there!

Halloween Kraftbomb

What's better than selling your crafty goodies in a room full of like minded crafty people? Doing it in costume of course! Just got the fab news that my application for a stall at the 25th Oct Kraftbomb has been accepted and there's a Halloween theme.

Now to decide what to dress up as...
