Take a look at Shop Handmade

I visited the shop on opening day (last Friday), actually I went twice! Stalker! WOW, is all I can say. It was so fabulous. Hubby had a peak today and said it was busy again. Sales are so good that I am busy making. I do hope you all have a look if you in Canberra. At the markets I don't get to shop, so it was great to buy from other designers.

Shop Handmade opening 16 April

Shop Handmade is opening this Friday 16th April. Here is a sneak peak at how it is looking. FABULOUS......don't you think, I love the white decor with punches of color with wallpaper.

I have a large selection of my goods available for purchase at the shop. Plus many other designers from Handmade markets will be selling their goods in the shop. How easy is it now to pick up the perfect gift between markets.

Hope to see some of my customers in the shop on Friday. Ill be shopping too!

A new line...'mojo' found!

Somewhere between Dec 24 and mid February I lost my 'mojo'. Thank goodness it has returned and I am spending every moment I can creating some new products. I decided a new medium for me was probably what I needed so I dived into to learning a new skill and I am soooooooooooooo happy I did. I have come up with these lovely simple pendants.......

all with embroidery (doilies), material, sewing and knitting themes. To be worn on black leather or a silver chain.

So I got inspired to try a new design for brooches .....

I have also been playing with wool.

These hand knitted Neck Scarves will be available too at the next Handmade Market.

Hope to catch up with alot of my customers and friends there. It is such a meeting place.

Hope you all like where I am at the moment.

This photo was taken at handmade market nov '09. The shirt I use to display brooches and necklaces everymarket and I get so many people wanting to buy the shirt. Its linen and so stylish.

Dont you just love the look of the woolshed they have so much character, a perfect back drop for handmade items. Cant wait for the next market in March '10.

christmas handmade market '09

As I sit here in a jumper it is hard to believe that on the market weekend 3 days ago it was a scorching 39 degrees! A busy market it was. New and Old customers dropped by and many friends waved in the distance as some could not get close to the stall. I still have a few orders to meet so I am ploughing through ribbon and fabric for the next few weeks. And loving every moment.

Don't forget you can contact me for purchases, if you missed the market, by writing a comment on my blog then I can email you back, just mention you would like to purchase something. Otherwise don't forget that MissChief Maker at Rodney's Nursery , Pialligo stocks my products and has lovely children's clothes. Take a peek at these gorgeous outfits. One raw edge brooch is on the denium hat and a one off hair accessory is on the lovely brunette.

Doilie to brooch

Having a fiddle as you do, the doilie edging went from this......

to this.

I then tried a linen edge of a placemat.

bluebirds of happiness

These two necklaces were snapped up by the National Gallery of Australia at the VIP night at the last market. Since then I have been talking with the Gallery shop and we are working on pieces for an up coming exhibition. I just love making these necklaces using embroidered doilies, ribbon, beads and crochet table clothes.

So I am making plenty more of these for the next Handmade market. Which is 20/21 November '09.
