blogtoberfest day 10- from the market.

The Yarraville market had a beautiful day for it, unfortunately I came down AGAIN with tonsillitis, so had half a voice at least. Today it is completely gone, much to the amusement of friends and child. A high squeak is not good for discipline!

Anyway, I digress. I set up on my new card table, next to my new double rack (tee shirt sleeves poking in to this photo)

I made some new purses in "Antique Treasures" from Spotlight

a Smurf tote/basket style bag (medium weight non-woven interfacing worked a treat)

and some more retro shopping totes (lined for extra strength).

I picked up a packet of foam beads the other day, wondering if it would amuse little Miss for a few hrs, and look what I got!

I'm wearing it now, too, it's cheering me up in this painful, grumpy state!

PS I have all these products pictured unsold, about to go on my Made It shop, but drop me a line if your interested

Weekend round-up

Did a bit of sewing this weekend. Saturday I headed over here for a big session, which would have been bigger if a certain little girl hadn't reneged on the sleepover I'd organised!

So Sunday was a bit more sewing. I repaired I bag I had previously made, with this great applique.

I also finished a few projects I started the day before

This one was originally for me, but I've now made it to fit a nearly 6 yr olds head. Doh!

I have also had new addition- things always start to breed in my house. And of course, now I'm not looking for one! Little did I know my neighbour had one in his shed THE WHOLE TIME! Bought in 1976, it's gorgeous. And my old one has a new home already, happy all round.

A dress up day tomorrow at school has been inspiring- craft projects have occurred, and a $10 dress up has bought hrs of fun.

What I did on my day off

I had an unexpected day off today, which involved lots of getting ready for the market. And eating yummy things. I very proudly nmade this delicious sandwich (it did get a top afetr I took the photo). The bit you can't see is the bush tomato chutney, yum!

This is the bread. worth every penny, not as cheap as your usual Helga's, but so delicious with ANYTHING. Even just butter.

I also made an outfit for Little Miss. My Smurf craze is getting a bit out of hand, the Smurfette sheets came from eBay! The pattern came from here.

A tip- I cut this selvedge to selvedge along the bottom of the sheet- therefore no hemming required! So it took half the time, ie about 10 mins!

He loves me, he loves me not....

Have a Smurfing good day tomorrow!
