Welcome to my blog :O) I create bags and quilts!

Sunday 29 April 2012

Ah sunday! and the tourists are back in the Ville  :O)  Much better market and appreciative shoppers. So I guess the holiday is over which is great, but I could still be called for jury service, which would be bad now that I really need to produce more bags. Can't win. Fabric is calling me.....and my little girls will be waiting for me Monday. They are so excited to be making things. I just have to keep ahead of them with projects. Not an easy task when everything I do is beyond their skills sets. What I think is easy, is not for them. So you go back to the basic idea, remove all the extra's ( the interesting bits) and then try and make it interesting again, with things they CAN achieve. It gets complicated. The housework is falling behind again ( as if it was ever up to date), and my tidied sewing room looks like a bomb has gone off. Why does housework NEVER last longer than 5 mins????

Technically challenged

Today I managed to stall my facebook page on the 'smart' phone and when I couldn't remember the log in for here I managed to create a new blog, or at least I think I did. I am technically not having a great day....    :O(

I think I've 'failed' blogging lol

Well I'm never going to be a blogger, not a regular one, anyway. Just returned from Canberra where I went to the Old Bus Depot craft market ( wonderful) and Canberra Handmade shop ( devine ) I also visited Addicted to Fabric and picked up some great books on bagmaking.
This has been my first year at Cotters Market and being back in the 'creating' world. It's gone rather well and I'm on track to being where I want to be, but I need another 'boost' to start the year, just not sure what.
Just after Christmas I had a BIG move into larger quarters here at home. It's wonderful!! More room to work, more storage and a view of the street! I had no idea there was so much traffic in our little street. And then there's the breeze in the front window, and the sounds of the water feature! Bliss.............
