Christmas Shoe Boxes


The Junior school, at my son's school, are making up boxes to fill with pressies for kids who will miss out at christmas. Its a great idea, I only just remembered on Tuesday that the class were doing it and our gift had to be handed in on Thursday!!!!! aaaah, luckly I had a beautiful pink tote bag half made up and there was another Rockin Robot that needed a new home, whew!! I did'nt want the break that Handmade Pledge. So off they go somewhere in the world to be loved, yah. Now back to sewing and frantic it is, am sewing like I never have before, the Rotokauri market is next week. We are going away for the weekend, my son has a extra day off, the elusive Teacher Only Day, so we get a 4 day weekend, Omori here we come, there is meant to be plenty of sunshine for a couple of the days, so that will mean some picnics by the lake and a few sleep in's.....
Enjoy your long weekend..

Ok so a big Market is looming


This will be my first big market, I have seen advertising for it everywhere, so am a little nervous and excited at the same time. My biggest worry is will I have enough stuff!!!, but orders can be taken (with a deposit) and flyers can be handed out. The flyers have worked really well for me and I know they work, this is how I was invited to the BIG Market. I have made two new girls along with the other ten that are ready to be sewn up and the bears and the blankets and the monstas oh dear!!! anyway once school holidays are over I will have some more time to myself. I have made some sleepy dolls they are a mixture of a few of my patterns, kinda frankenstein really, but they look really cool, there is a picture on my facebook page, I will be selling them at the BIG market. Anywho the son is starting to "mum mum mum" till next time...... oh and I have just listed some new dolls on Zillion.
