Brrrrrr.......It's Cold.......

It's chilly here, so I've dragged my sewing machine back to the dining room table, where it's nice and warm.
My creative space is looking rather chaotic this week.
 I have a market on this Saturday and need to get my crafting mojo into top gear, to make a few extras.........
There are camper van hottie covers rolling off the production line.
These little babies will keep you nice and warm on Wintry nights.




Waiting in line to be stitched up are rockets blasting of into outer space and beautiful polka dot flowers making me dream of warm, Summery days.......




Another Bluebell cover ........
 the first one I made I claimed for my own....





A little lesson learnt the hard way......
When you are 'writing' with your machine, concentrate, very, very hard. Don't have one ear listening to the radio because.......

THAT'S WHEN YOU ARE BOUND TO MAKE A MISTAKE!!!

..and it's just too hard to unpick those teeny, tiny stitches.I did the same thing another time, but the typo was on a tea cosy. A lady at my stall picked it up and was looking very closely at it. For some reason I felt I had to point the typo out and explain. She laughed and said she had noticed and thought it very funny. She was an English teacher and she loved that I had 'fixed' it in a similar manner to the one below......







More Bunnies in Brown, close relative to the Bunnies in Blue......
Yes, they just keep multiplying these bunnies!!


There are also fingerless gloves waiting patiently to be stitched and more Hedgie brooches. 
Can't get enough of those wee beasties yet....plus lots more..
So, if you happen to be in Bright, North East Vic. or thinking of going away for the weekend. There is a fab little market on in Howitt Park down by the Ovens river. There will be crafty stalls, foodie stalls, live music, egg and bacon burgers..yum, coffee...definitely and me!!
Need I say more? oh yeah, it's from 9am - 1pm
Love to meet you there......

Take Care,

Claire

  6. Wow, what a whirlwind of activity.
    The teacher in me loved the amendment to the cozy. I can hear my voice now:
    "Don't rub it out... put one neat line through it....DO NOT SCRIBBLE!"
    You could have a nice line in spot the mistake cozy and hottie covers.

  9. What you need a boost to your Mojo? looks like you are already very busy with all your lovely projects and you seem to always have a new idea or a fresh look.
    The market day sounds great, is it run all year round?
    Keep my fingers crossed the weather is kind to you all on the day, have fun! (and lots of sales)

  11. Oh Claire, we've got to get to Bright real soon... if your stall is any indication, the market must be wonderful.
    I too just adore the fun way in which you 'fixed' your typo.
    Love your breeding bunnies as well :D)
    Have a great market day!

  12. I think the mistake is a great idea to keep as a design. We all make them (mistakes) and it is good to have a slightly unpolished feel.
