Last minute Christmas ideas?

If you're in need of some last minute inspiration come along to the 'Clovelly Mum's Craft Show Case' next Monday on Arden Street and you might just find what you need! I'll be there selling my Craft Kit Bags, bedroom door plaques, reindeer food (great fun for the children to sprinkle for the reindeer on Christmas eve) and more goodies. Plus there will be a selection of other hand made crafts made by local Clovelly Mums. Everyone is welcome to come and have a look, pass it on!

Bronte Sewing Room

Over the past year I've been going to an inspiring sewing course run by Colette Reynolds at Sprouts and I've learnt to make even more wonderful things! Although I've been sewing for years now, I'm self taught and have always used my own designs and had my own little 'way' of doing things. This has been the ideal opportunity to learn how to sew using patterns and professional techniques with the support of Colette in her gorgeous shop. I've met a lovely group of people from beginners through to more experienced sewers and we've all shared stories, laughs and cups of tea (with biscuits, of course!) whilst sewing our individual creations. It's been the high point of my week! My last project was three fun wrap skirts for my daughter that I will give her at Christmas and I'm thrilled with the results. The course has been so successful that next year Colette has decided to dedicate space in her shop and call it the 'Bronte Sewing Room' (yay!)

My next market date this Sunday...

I'm at the Shore Break Market this Sunday (13th).
The Beach Palace Hotel 196 Dolphin Street, Coogee. Between 11-4pm

There's usually a mix of stall holders selling things like clothes (children & adults), bags, jewellery, children's crocheted toys and hair accessories. I'll be selling my 'Craft Kit Bags', upholstered bedroom door plaques and upholstered notice boards amongst other goodies. If you're short of Christmas present ideas it's worth a look.

Baby 'Etsy' has arrived!

It's been a long time coming and finally it's here...I would like to announce the 'grand' opening of my Etsy shop! O.K. maybe it's not quite as grand as I'd like it to be, I've currently got three items listed, but I'll be adding more as the weeks go by (I promise!). If you want to have a look either follow the link above or click on the orange icon to the right of the page, all feedback is very welcome. I can honestly say it's been a joint effort with the support of my wonderful friends along the way. The plan is to build it up over the next 12 months and have a much bigger selection of goodies to choose from. In the meantime I'm getting used to the idea of photographing everything I make, my front room has never looked so professional...
