To Market To Market

With Hot nundes in hand. I have sold 2 so far YAY!

I made 75 teas and coffee in 3 hours

And I am going to make a couple of these stands when I get time. My stuff would look great on these I reckon.

And last but not least
This is totally unrelated. Even parked on the side of the road cats literally cross the road, jump on my windscreen and give me attitude.

It got even weirder when the furry hitch hiker started licking my bonnet, windscreen and side mirrors. My car tastes like sardines?

And even more Last but not Least than the last time I said it

"Breaking News"

A new art/craft market for hand made goods only will be coming to The Old Cheese Factory in September 2009

I have been waiting excitedly for this for about 18 months and successfully kept it shushed. Ill post info on it as soon as I hear more. Finally a market for us South Eastern indies that we don't have to drive for an hour to get to YAY!

Ave a great weekend

Cheers

My Creative Space

Due to my cat bossing me around and my shed/studio being full of stock waiting to be listed next financial year, I am confined to the kitchen

My space doesn't look very colorful does it? Today I am working on my take away cappuccino bags "hot nundes" for the farmers market this weekend at The Old Cheese factory

Can you spot the heart?

Busy, Lucky and Glad

Do you feel bad when you are too busy to blog? I do, which is silly I know but its a burden us bloggers have to deal with.

I have had a fab week. More vintage things came my way. Lucky me. Dear Ronnie brought me in some of her mums sewing stuff as her mum is no longer with us and Ronnie hates sewing and craft in general. Pam knows I collect anodized knitting needles and brought me in 2 pairs that belonged to her late mother and before that her grand mother.

They are now nestled(lost) in amongst this lot.

I will treasure and use all of the above because they really are special.

Speaking of treasures, my princess turned 17 and we feasted on home made cannelloni that she request must be made by her stepfather, not me. Grandpa had 2 servings and then princess decided she must have ALL 17 candles on her cake.....

Then yesterday was a gorgeous day spent at The Homestead for PIP'S and Laurel from Miss Muggins came by with her project which we all oooh'd and aah'd over. Best not mention it though because it is a gift for some one I think.

I worked on my draw fresheners to replace stock that mice disgraced themselves on and ruined. I have since learned to store everything away and wonder why on earth I got the cat....

And finally today I am about to clear the coffee table again to cut fabric like a maniac if I just get this guy off the darn table

"Dude, I'm busy so get lost and use the kitchen table"

Fine.... change of plans, I'm off to cut fabric like a maniac in the kitchen........ stupid cat! I'm so glad I'm the boss around here....

Hope you had a great day.

Cheers

Did I ever mention

how much I adore watching and listening to choirs. I just love em and although at 13 I would have giving you greasies for even suggesting that( greasies - dirty looks) I secretly enjoyed singing in assembly at school.
Anyhow, not one of my fav songs but the chior is brilliant. Just had to share.

Sound effects are top notch.

Another collection is born

It started with plates that were left here when mum would bring food over. Apparently they are my stepfathers and it seems like mum didn't like them because I seem to have the whole set now after 15 years of her bringing food over

Then I expressed my love for all things pyrex-y, especially mixing bowls, to Pam one day and the following week she presented me with 2 mixing bowl in pristine condition that match my step fathers set.

And then yesterday the posty brought me these, because they were on eBay and I just had to have them

So now, without any intentions to do so, I have started a matching collection of 1970 Corelle Butterfly Gold Pyrex kitchen wares.

And yet another obsession begins. At least I use these almost every day though. That justifies it right?

Cheers and ave a great Wednesday!

Melanie
