Oktoberdee on sale

Love these bags!Okt-ober dee is having a sale. I have one of Laurens bags similar to this one and I love it! I get constant comments, I belive she is no longer making this sumptuous, soft style of large handbag. So get in quick and get it on sale, I'm sooooo tempted to buy one and put it away.

Great use of colour. This is the beginnings of a very funky cushion cover. Made by Brit at Utopia beads.

Project 2: Rag Quilt

This is our new project, Rag or Shabby Chic quilt. Cut your fabric and inch larger than your wadding. When you sew them together you have one side smooth and one side ruffley. The best of both worlds!

Gisborne Market

We had a stall at the Gisborne market last week, (1st Sunday of every month) oooohh

baby it was cold! Ebony forgot her coat so it was lucky for her I was packing thermals and could lend her my coat. The biggest seller, of course, was hats. So we will be there again on the 1st Sunday of June.

Don't worry about the map, Gisborne is small and the market is BIG.

It seems looking cute for the camera runs in the family. The only photos of my kids are with them covered in dirt or food or both grimacing at the camera

warm fluffy hats

Look at this Gorgeous Girl!! If only my own beautiful daughter would become more compliant with a) wearing my creations and b)looking cute for the camera.



This is Ebony's youngest daughter of a brood of four! how does she do it! and make hairclips so we can marketeer together, what a woman.
