it's a mad, mad week....

Not sure if i've bitten off more than i can chew but this week is looking super busy. My friend Deb and i are having a stall at Yarraville market next weekend. I've been quietly toiling away, lots of stuff almost finished and some things i'm leaving til next market day. Prioritising and making lists are not my forte, BUT i'm doing my best to be organised. So my list looks something like this: sewing the bases onto a dozen wee owl-ettes and ditto for the wonky rockets. Plus making inserts for some cushions and sewing in the ends of some handknits! ** must remember coins and price tags, and some sort of packaging for the badges....... (that was monday....now its.......thursday...eek!)
ok..i can do this. most of the above is now done, cushions are becoming wall hangings instead, and i've sort've sorted packaging for the badges and now i'm packing up a bit of hand sewing for Perle 8's tonight......
Here's a glimpse of what i'll have for sale:So i'd love to see you there on Saturday, drop by and say hello! We're going under the name of twice times, ( cos there's two of us and we like a bit of A.A.Milne ). Hope every one has a lovely..L O N G weekend!

A new home for......

Introducing Ms Fancypants and Ms Quicksticks. Lovingly brought home from the St James Opshop and happy to be here!

Not sure what's come over me but i've been struggling with the urge to communicate. I've been busy, shuffling through piles of fabric/paper/pencils/washing/dust/wool..... hopefully some of the above will not get mixed up together as i don't think there's a market for selling piles of dirty/folded washing decorated with a sprinkling of last nights dinner swept up from the kitchen floor... and speaking of markets, my friend Deb and I have signed up for the next Yarraville market on the 6th June. I have been productive in a sort of two steps forward, three back and sidestep the washing basket on my way through. I taught another Gee's Bend class today at Amitie. Very Productive sewers (Laugh Justine!) but sorry, no pics. I've been keeping the home fires burning, cooking soups, n stews n cakey things to tide us through the cooler weather, which i'm loving. And there's much on the crafty front: socks knitted, and half-knitted, stitching and patching some hoops, constructing a platoon (?) of rockets, plus expecting a visit from Jus on tuesday and her badgemaking machine for some fun times. Meanwhile i've been feeling quiet or even shy perhaps......a little like this lady............................................................ Ok, a glass of red wine will put that to rights! Cos it is saturday night. Happy weekend everyone!
