Twas the day before Market....

and things are all but quiet.

Melissa and Marie have both dropped off most of the stock for tomorrow nights BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market and I am busy photographing them for our inventory.

Melissa has made a great new bunch of hats and this one is my personal favourite - unfortunately it doesn't fit my head or it wouldn't have made it till tomorrow night. It's made from and old "Western Australia" tablecloth. It's just gorgeous.

Marie has delved into the world of black denim and made some fantastic skirts (who said black is just for boys).

We are super excited to be off to King George Square tomorrow night. The weather is going to be great but must remember a jumper as the cool nights are here to stay now (yipee).

We look forward to seeing everyone there - BrisStyle Indie Twilight Market - King George Square - 5 - 9pm.

A small thrill

I know we sell bits and pieces at the markets but I never get to see if when the new owner takes them home, whether they become must use pieces or whether they end up in the back of the cupboard. So I got a small thrill the other day when I was in the check out line at Spotlight to see the little girl in front of me was carrying a Seamstress and the Daughters bag that Marie made last June and was in our very first market stall. Nice to know it was still being loved and used (and still looked in very good condition).

Tis the Season...well almost!

The nights are getting cooler (thankfully) and that means it's almost my favourite time of year. Being a crochet nut I love Winter. I can bring out all the scarves and beanies that I love to wear (fashionable or not!!).

I bought this beautiful hand painted mohair/silk from the recent Craft Show here in Brisvegas and I have begun to make a simple scarf. As mohair is quite tricky to crochet (or knit) because it's so bloody hard to undo any mistakes it's not hard for me to get distracted and start on other things.

So here are two new scarves I've made whilst distracted:

I really like the idea of thin scarves that can be easily wrapped around the neck. I liked the idea of a relatively plain scarf with just a little something at the end. I made it green so it's like grass with some blooming flowers. I was initially going to make the flowers white but I thought it would end up too Christmassy! I think the navy worked well. 

While it is an acrylic, it's actually a really nice soft wool and light too, which will make these easy to wear. I'm really happy with the white scarf as the colours add a lovely punch. This looks great on.

I've also managed to sew a skirt and a hat for my son but that's for another post!
