My creative space

My overlocker is back and it's fixed! Hooray! Not much sewing is happening at the moment though. I have a pile of fabrics to cut for sunnyboys, and this week a big box of vintage sheeting arrived courtesy of Cathy! . Lovely girl!

Oh, and an art folder from Poppy, Bean and Bloss. It's so clever and cute and practical, it really deserves it's own post.

I'm doing my first market (eeek!) in two weeks, sharing a marquee with Michelle from Poppy, Bean and Bloss at the MOCCA super fete and market in Manuka. Of course markets mean stock* and I have none, and I am busy or away for the next two weekends. Ooops! Wish me luck!

Head to Kirsty's for more!

* markets also mean being organised, having labels, having change, having a cashbox, props, bags .... and probably thousands of other things that I haven't thought of yet!

  3. Thanks for reminding me of change! I always forget this vital aspect of a market. Lists, lists, and more lists. I love your sunny boys, what a great idea. Good luck getting stock together and enjoy those vintage linens, they look fantastic! xo

  24. Good luck with the market! I have a feeling you'll go great.

    (although I've only done one market, I didn't have a cash box. I put all my change in a half apron that I wore all day, and that worked well.)
