purchase with paypal

I was having a convo with a lady the other day, and she was talking about how much people use paypal these days, then she described how easy it was to make the option available for anyone wanting to purchase from your blog !
Hey presto!
You can now purchase off my blog through paypal if you see something you like. Just convo first for postage costs and conversions !
See the Donate button, sidebar, top right. I wish everyone had one of these on their blogs !

Do you like yellow ?

Dont forget to comment on the Handmade Expo blog and comment about the market on your blog, facebook or twitter and bump up the amount of the giveaway, currently standing at $41 !

New Vintage Chenille Bathmats in stock

Hi there,


I have recovered enough from the two day market at Gatton over the weekend to start sewing again.



Yesterday I spent the whole day cutting up vintage chenille bedspreads ( It's what I do ! ) so I could start a production line of sewing for the next Handmade Expo and the Brisstyle Christmas market.




So after a slow start I finally got into it and managed to finish 10 bathmats in preparation for markets and re stocking Handmade Heaven tomorrow.

Thursday is "back into it day " for me, with 50 of one thing ready to go ( show you when finished ), about 30 of another, and then I want time to create new things!

Dont forget to go over to The Handmade Expo blog and leave a comment to increase the giveaway amount.

Doesn't matter if you cant make it to the market and you live way away, The idea is the more comments , the more dollar value the winner gets to spend at the market. It increases by one dollar for each different blogette though, but in the spirit of blogging and handmadewomanship ( that must be a word, if not I am copywriting it ! ) wouldn't you want everyone to leave a comment on the chance it could be YOU winning the loot ! ( and sending us broke maybe ! Ha Ha )

While you are over there you might find an interesting looking blog you'd like to take a look at too !

Come Christmas Shopping with me

Just a quick post to let you know I am set up and ready for you to come and visit me at Gatton Town Hall, tomorrow and Saturday for a great Christmas shopping experience. There are so many awesome and delicious stalls of handmade ideas and gifts , I think I have already spent any money I will make ! It's air conditioned too and you can have morning and afternoon tea and light lunches. Please say Hi if I am at my stall when you come !

There is a facebook page too if you search Christmas in the Country art and craft show.

Off for a few days R & R

Although it's not actually "our" holiday as such, Handmadies has invited us for three nights at Noosa and I cant wait to relax in one of our favourite places in this great land, The other one being Melbourne ofcourse ! mmmm We have all been here before but Micky and fam are making it an annual pilgrimage. It's such a great place to be with kids and adults alike.
When we get back, the following day I'm at Gatton setting up for Christmas in the Country, so I will be absent for a week or so and having withdrawals from you all by then, no doubt.

Dont forget The Handmade Expo is having a great giveaway, please pop over and leave a comment, every different blogger who comments increases the giveaway, so even you you aren't in this area, if you comment it pushes up the prize. So please comment and help whoever wins to win a really really great prize!!

See you in a week when I'm refreshed, then exhausted!

Yo Yo's

I have been meaning to post about Yo Yo's since my give away when I had some comments from some lovely peeps not knowing what they were. Here's some pics

These are an inch and a half

And these are tiny, maybe three quarters of an inch.

If you google " How to make a suffolk puff " there are heaps of tutorials.

It would be great if you could also blog about the giveaway too!

Christmas in the country at Gatton

Yes this year I have been invited to attend Christmas in the Country, in Gatton as a stallholder to sell my bubbachenille goodies. I have been working madly towards this for a few weeks now as I am led to believe it is a shopping frenzy and one must have mountains of stock !









I have added some supplies into this market too for the crafts person/sewer, so you will be able to purchase vintage chenille fat quarters in lots of different styles, colours and prices, depending on rarity ( as in how rare they are ! ) I will also have some cotton fabric pieces that no longer take my fancy and lots of little packets of vintage buttons.









I will also have a range of gorgeous chenille teddies, There are four different teddies ranging in size and price and all have been wrapped with a singlet included as well some have a burp cloth or bib. A fitting gift for a newborn.









Naturally all my usual items will be in abundance ( hopefully, as you never really know when you have enough for a market ! ) Lots of heat packs large and small and lots of skirts and pants. Included are some christmas pants, skirts, singlets and t shirts. I also have a small range of ladies christmas singlets and t shirts that are embellished with yo yo's.

Do you see the groovy "wireless" mr bubba bought me for the studio ? My next lot of pants in the ever popular size two getting ready for the machine! So much preparation before the finished product! Check out my Flickr page for the finished items.

Any way if you can make it to Gatton on Friday 6th November or Saturday 7th you are sure to get a head start on your Christmas shopping. This market has been held annually for 19 years and has 60 stalls of lovely handmade goodies. Morning and afternoon teas are available as well as light lunches. Starts at 9 am and is open til 7pm on Friday and 4pm on Saturday.

This arrived today Yummo!

When you have to go to the P.O to pick up a parcel, you know it has to be good... Then you get this accross the counter..

With the Aussie dollar the way it is, I've been shopping! 5 times even !! Check this out...

Isn't it delicious ? I wonder if it will replace the other pink one I bought once and couldn't bear to cut up, so it's on the spare bed, or the white one I bought another time that I couldn't cut up and it's on my bed...mmmm what to do ?
