To Market, To Market

Exciting news!  I am off to market!!!  Niche to be exact.  I was accepted for the April 1st and 2nd market in Launceston and I am super excited.   Niche is a fantastic market that supports disabled Tasmanians and their families by having stall holders pay 20% of all sale proceeds towards St Giles.  So by making a purchase at Niche you not only support the local crafting community but you help those in need to!  I hope I can make a difference in a small way to the families and carers of these beautiful people (they are such great examples to me because they have so much love and patience for those they care for). 

I have been painting and packaging and feel I am pretty much on top of things for the market.

I now just have some baby onesies to appliqué and I think I am good to go (fingers crossed)!  I am seriously nervous :s!  It is my first "proper" market and I am stressing whether I will have enough stock - or too much?!  I guess the only way to know is go and find out.  (My made it store won't be re-stocked until after Niche) 

Hope you are having fun sewing and crafting!

Hadspen Car Boot Sale and Christmas Market

Tomorrow Hadspen Lions Club is holding a Car Boot Sale and Christmas Market at the End of Main Street, Hadspen (on the river bank) from 8am to 1pm. It is a no fuss event - no applying or approval process to go through for a stall - just rock up, pay the $5 stall fee and that’s it! This time (because it Christmas is on the way) they are having a fee jumping castle for the kids, face painting for $5 and a $1 sausage sizzle. Who doesn’t love a sausage sizzle?!
Why am I telling you all this? Well I have decided to have a stall and for the past week or so I have set aside my quilting projects to focus on making products for my stall.
You will find many of my different canvases designs including the ever popular cute as a button canvases along with some appliquéd onsies and t-shirts for bub.

I wish I had a little boy to wear the t-shirt with the cute new whale design!

These make the perfect Christmas, birthday or baby shower gift. Any products that don’t sell will be added to my made it store (which is VERY empty at the moment - SORRY) after Saturday. So if you want to have first pick head on over to Hadspen for the car boot Sale and Christmas Market this Saturday 11th December and grab some bargains!
