Market Wrap Up

A fantastic day was had at the Boutique Markets yesterday. It was really hot (probably the death rattle of summer) but it was perfect really, as it meant lots of shorts and singlet sales.

Dog Treats from Rocstar:


Our Kitchen Garden:



Fantastic Knickers from Razzama Dazzle:


And of course, BabyBird:





Ok, off to replenish stock in time for Mathilda's Market on Saturday!

Sorry Little Blog...

I've been neglecting you lately, haven't I? I know you'll get over it though, you're a tough little thing. There has been so much going on. I will paint you a picture:



1. Lola pug is sick and needs surgery. She is struggling to breathe, as apparently over time her tendons have slackened and her soft palate is now partially blocking her airway. She is booked in for surgery next week.



2. Hoodie sales have been keeping me mighty busy. Lots of orders to sew.



3. Eddie is teething. He is getting molars, which is weird, as he doesn't have all his little front teeth yet. He sticks to me like a limpet on a rock, making getting things done quite impossible.



4. It's market time. Boutique Markets this weekend, Mathilda's next weekend. Lots of sewing to be done for them both, yet the above points are making that difficult. It's a vicious cycle. I did manage to whip up a pair of jeans yesterday that will make their debut this weekend.



5. Easter long weekend. We spent it away with family, so no work was done. Whoops.



This week shall be dedicated to work. Hopefully I get some done.

More Hoodies


So much sewing happening here this week. So much sewing, for not so much product really. I can't believe how much longer hoodies take to make compared to shorts. Luckily, they're really cute, so I can make an exception...


They will be making their market debut at the Boutique Markets at Portside Wharf this Sunday. So pop down if you're in Brisbane. They really are fabulous markets.

'Saturday...'

'When these open doors were open ended...' - Fall Out Boy


Love that song.

So Saturday, the best day of the week, because you know there is still another day of the weekend left after this one. I've been a busy bee over the last few days, with mostly work related stuff. I have been creating:

- Corduroy hoodies lined with flannelette
- Corduroy pants with cute little cuffs
- Women's tees
- New softies

All inspired by the sudden change of season. And yes, I am working on all of them at once, coz that's just how I roll. Here is a picture of one of the hoodies:



This afternoon, we are going on a little adventure to IKEA. I must exercise some restraint and only buy fabric. What's the bet I don't though?

Tell me about your weekend plans...
