busy, busy, busy !!

Does it matter that I haven't even looked at all the mess in my house and my husband will walk in in about 2 hours and wonder where his delightful home is ?

Ummm yes, yes, yes, NO !

I had time off this morning to go to the hairdresser and doesn't that always take longer than it should ?

Any hoo I have managed to do some work for my stall at the Handmade Expo in Goondiwindi on Saturday, Sneak peek following but first I must tell you about a gorgeous little giveaway over at http://www.edwardandlilly.com/ it's so cute, so hop on over and give it a go!! (no pun intended, you'll see what I mean when you get there!)

The ever popular "bottle bags"More in my new "collection" skirts. OOOhh so cute ! Vintage buttons on all of these.

after two markets

I went back to back with two markets on the weekend, Well I am just beginning to feel human again !

So tired, so tired !! BUT OH BOY WAS IT FANTASTIC !!
I had the greatest response to my new "collection" and just sold so much that I will be busy forever !

I have The Handmade Expo on Saturday in Goondiwindi, so only have a couple of days to do some extra stocking up. Now that I know my new ideas are going to be liked enough for people to buy I can get focussed on that creative journey.
My daughters have put orders in for "boy stuff" in my new range, so they'll be the guinea pigs and I'll need to change my ideas as I mainly tend to follow the pinks ! ( I have three grandsons under 4 !) I'll let you know if I get any boy stuff done for this coming weekend.

Seems like lots of us had a busy market weekend. I have another market next weekend and one the weekend after so I'd better get cracking and stop rambling on !

Happy creating Girls !

lovely boys giveaway

Not very often is there a boys giveaway in blogland.
One of the blogs I follow (and she has lots of interesting posts !) is giving away a cute and versatile drawstring bag for a boy. Why not pop over to her blog, have a look around and go into the draw for this bag, www.bloomingnihon.blogspot.com/
Good luck !

Yesterday I was on a roll and made six new skirts in the new collection, alas.. today I have only managed two. (well it is Thursday and I have things to do !!!)

This one is a size 3,

and this one is a size 4,

And this is my new top that Trish http://trishalandesigns.blogspot.com made for me. It's the first time I've worn it and I adore it, all those suffolk puffs and there's some real baby ones in there too, each one has a sequin and a tiny bead, (pink ofcourse.) thanks Trish :)

Well I have been doing other things today too, (domestic boring stuff !) but I managed to get some sewing done and listed the beginning of my new collection on etsy.
If you have any three or four year olds in your life why not check the new listings out and see what you think !http://www.bubbachenille.com.au/
Have a nice browse while you're there ....

bubbachenille "collections"

I've been overdosing on chenille lately and so missing using some of my "other fabric" stash.

I used to do a fair amount of patchwork before chenille took over my life..

Now the time has come to start mixing things up a bit !

This is only the first of many that I am planning for the new "collections range" sounds impressive doesn't it ? Not quite Jen Hawkins style...baby steps though !

This skirt is a size 3 and the chenille was actually dyed by Trish for me http://trishalandesigns.blogspot.com/ as I have been unable to get really good hot pinks lately. I love this vibrant colour, dont you?

bubbachenille has a winner

OOOOH I'm sooo late at doing the draw for my giveaway...sorry, so much going on (still !). And the winner is little chrissy http://little-chrissy.blogspot.com and while you're there check out her etsy store too, for all your cutest brooches, booties and earings needs !

Thanks for entering and for your interest in my sometimes not so interesting blog !!

Just cleaning and re- organising from The Handmade Expo http://thehandmadeexpo.blogspot.com on Saturday. OMG once again it was as busy as... Selling bubbachenille, selling raffle tickets in three gorgeous and generously donated handmade hampers that were over flowing with goodies.
We had 1100 people pass through the doors and combined with the raffle we get to donate $800 to the Red Cross bushfire appeal...WAHOO and the Red Cross had a sausage sizzle and they raised over $1000 on the day too.
We are feeling quite proud !!

Now to start all over again, take stock for the next mini Handmade Expo on March 28th at the Vigaro fields, Jacaranda St East Ipswich. Although it's a mini Handmade Expo there will be about 40 stalls and if you are interested please contact thehandmadeexpo@optusnet.com.au as there is still room for you!

I'll be back soon!
