My Creative Space Thursday

Hi Kids! Creative HQ here at the moment is busy, busy busy! I've got a small stall at a private meeting on the weekend, so I've been making stock to sell there - including the chrissie cards and general greeting cards you can see in production here.

Also I managed to finish the quilt I started on the weekend, and the girl I gave it to loved it so I'm happy!

More Creative Spaces here!!

Fruity business

Sorry for the post from my mobile, but I'm so darn busy at the moment that this is a quick way of saying hi!

This pic is of all the fruit pins I'm making for this weekend- whatever I don't sell I'll load onto Etsy

Hope you're all having a nice week and that you're not run off your feet!

Weekend Wrap-up

Hope everyone had a super duper weekend!! I spent Saturday shopping with 2 nearest and dearest girls. My best friend Aimz is getting married in May so we went dress shopping – and oh boy did the tears flow when I saw her in the wedding dress. She looked absolutely stunning.

On Sunday I visited some lovely gals out at the Mathilda Markets. I bought 2 travellers (from http://snailblazer.blogspot.com/my nieces – I know they’re going to love them!

You too can purchase some of Cass’ travellers at her website

And then on Sunday afternoon I made myself a fascinator for the Cup tomorrow, to match my vintage dress I purchased in Melbourne.

Living In...the Ladies Man

Taking the meme from my FAVOURTIE design blog Design*Sponge I have decided to do my own "Living in" theme today (See D*S' version here). Basically you pick a movie that you love and then use Polyvore to re-create the "feel" of the movie ie the decor, clothing or props etc.

I have picked the wonderful 1961 Jerry Lewis movie "The Ladies Man" which has the most magical doll's house style set. (sorry for the TV paused images!!)

Do you have a favourite movie that you'd like to live in?

My Creative Space Thursday

Well, a whole week has flown past without a post. I had toyed with the idea of doing Blogtober, but I'm glad I didn't commit. I haven't had time to breathe lately let alone post. Work has been insanely busy and so by the time I come home the last thing I feel like doing is blogging (even crafting has been a little light-on!)

It seems a few bloggers are feeling the same way at the moment. Time just seems to be flying past so quickly, I guess we're all feeling the need to spend time in the outdoors, with loved ones, or some quality time with ourselves (sorry if that sounded like Dr Phil )

Ok, rather than wasting more time blabbering on, how about I show you some pictures of the things I have been enjoying in My Creative Space. I've got a very small stall happening in a few weeks for a Rotary morning tea, so I've been ramping up the Fimo jewellery stock to sell.

A selection of the different types I'm making. The ones on the left are done in the candy cane way which is really fun to do

Close-up of the rosebud earrings

The 2 flowers are brooches, and the top 4 pieces are for necklaces. I just need to add them onto leather.

and my favourite piece above. I'm trialling some sewing pin toppers. This is the grape one, and I think I'll stick to making different sorts of fruits.

I also need to post about the WONDERFUL time I had in Melbourne with Mama Honi. We went down to see the Quilt Project in all it's glory. And oh my, it was amazing. Kirsty did such a wonderful job - thank you :) I will post pictures soon!!
