That's It For A Bit

Hello there, here we are middle of the week already!!!

Hope it's all going well for you and thanks for coming by for a visit.......I certainly appreciated your comments and travel tips on my last post. 

Please keep them coming if you think or hear of any more...

Let's back track to the weekend.

It should've been market day in Bright on Saturday...

 Friday was spent finishing off a couple of makes.

 Packing everything up, making sure I had price tags, float, everything recorded, car packed etc. etc. etc.

 Excitement building as I love doing the market in Bright.

Off to work Friday afternoon making a mental list of things to do when I got home....

Arrive home just after 8pm to find a message on the answering machine.....due to the muddy state of the park after all the rain the market has been called off!!

How deflating was that?

Oh well, the only thing to do was leave the car packed and do the Sunday morning market here in my little town.

It's been a little while since I did this market, but it was still enjoyable and it's a great place to catch up with people.

There were a few new makes on my stall and a Wildflower tea cosy found a new home very early in the day.

It started off rather foggy and cold, but eventually the sun decided to show it's face and bring a little warmth to the day.

Although it was quieter due to it being Winter, I was happy with sales. A few more pennies to put towards my holiday.

This is my last market till October, so I am packing up all my 'stuff' and tidying up the sewing room.

It's a very strange feeling, to be putting everything away and shutting down the production line.....

There were some very stylish canine visitors to the market and I couldn't help but take some pics.....

I think there could be a book published about all the different doggies that came out on Sunday morning.

The weather continues to chop and change here, blue sky and sunshine followed by grey clouds and squally rain showers.....

But the flowers keep popping up and I noticed there was one brave  blue Borage flower showing it's face .....

Different varieties of Wattle are lining the country roads and create a splash of colour on  a dull day.

 These pics are from plants growing in our tree belt.

 I love Wattle blossom...... delicate,golden, balls of fluff.

For some reason No. 1 son is a big fan of a bushy beard....

He has been trying for some time to grow a forest on his chin but it's a very slow process which doesn't show up too well in this pic. 

When he came to visit me at the market I just had to introduce him to Gary, my stall holder neighbour.....

Gary's aim was to grow a ZZ Top style of beard so he could tuck it into his belt!!

Nice to have a goal to aim for......

Tigger on the other hand doesn't have any goals.

He lives in the moment.... 

Things are slowing down on the crafting front here and gearing up for the holiday. 

Just under 2 weeks to go.....

I am writing lists and wondering how I will go being away from my trusty Janome for a month!!

What will I take with me to keep my hands busy, to feed the creative side of me?

I have a few little projects in mind, but would love to hear what you take away with you on trips if space is limited...

I like Denise's idea of a Busy Box

Catch you later,

 Claire
