finished a project and marketing

Yesterday I went to the last market for Northside Makers Market for this side of the year. Such a lovely market with very talented crafters and they are all very friendly and ready for a chat.

I took both the girls and the froglets friend, baby bat with us. Got a nice little booty of goodies!

One of the froglets friends is celebrating her 16th birthday so she selected this cute little card for her from red parka I love the parliament of owls!



this very cute little mini sock monkey had to come home with the noisy one... now named the minkie. I was very taken with her sock spiders, should have bought one!! this we purchased from chuckles



Finally I own my very own curly pops brooch, I chose the heart without thinking too much about it (I just liked it) and later I realised I had subconsciously chosen it with cherry my doberman in mind. Lovely to meet you finally Cam, I have been stalking your blog for a while now and enjoy reading it daily.



I also met the lovely Margaret of Konstant Kaos and bought this hair tie for my friend who always has her hair up with ribbons and such. Great to meet you too, the baby bat was delighted to get the info you gave her about the goth markety thingy.


Finally I finished the journal cover for the frogets friend who is also an Irish dancer. I bought this cute little pattern from allsorts some time ago and made one for the froglet but hadn't turned it into anything yet. So we chose colours that Lauren would like (pink) and decided a journal cover would be ideal.

the pattern for the journal I found on the moda bake shop site, I didn't follow it exactly but I did find it very simple to follow and alter to my own needs.


Off now to have afternoon tea with a friend, the girls are looking forward to meeting her chooks and the cat!

sneak peek

Here is a sneak peek of the project I am working on at the moment. I am making this for my daughters friends 16th birthday... I doubt she would see this this but just in case :) sorry about the shadow, I didn't see that till I posted them. I will also put up a link where I got this design from when I post the completed project.


I am going to make a journal cover, I have looked at many many tutorials and I think I will be able to make one using all these different tutorials... thank goodness for the Internet!

I also just had a phone call from a friend who copped a ticket for not stopping at a stop sign tsk tsk naughty girl Simone!!!!! She said she paused but Mr plod was watching.... shame he wasn't at the roundabout near my house this afternoon when a green P plater nearly collected me when he drove straight through without giving way to me.
She also rang to tell me that my blog was playing up and wouldn't load... I had to remove my virtual cat as apparently these gadgets or widgets can cause problems... all sorted now so it seems. Thanks for the heads up Simone and I hope you don't have any more run ins with the local constabulary!
