Our Advent Calendar

hello, I created this calender a few years ago now. I have put it on display again this year and added 4 chocolate jaffa's to each draw, the problem is each day when we open it there are always, 1, 2 or 3 chocolates missing!! I have been informed today that Grace has eaten all chocolates from No.22! We will have to find a higher self to put it on. Not many sleeps to go now!! Leah

Exciting Plans for 2010!

Hello, I have worked out my "craft Market Agenda" for the first half of 2010, which I am quite excited about!
Now I just need to plan my work roster family commitments etc. around it.
As you can see some of the markets are yet to be confirmed, I've submitted applications to them all so fingers crossed!






Here is a pic of what will be my new sewing room for 2010, the larger room will be our new family room, I hope to be much more organised with my sewing, I will have so much more space, yay!!!

These little windows from the kitchen will be saved and put in here.


Gracie will finally have her own bedroom too, I can't wait to decorate it! Thanks so much for dropping in, don't forget to enter my giveaway. Leah

A lovely weekend!

Hello, I wish that I had remembered my camera! I could have shared some beautiful scenes with you! Bishops Lodge is a beautiful place and the weather was perfect. I thought that our little marquee looked great, but my sales were not fantastic. I purchased some super sweet Christmas gifts, the boys sold all of their eggs and parsley plants (they usually do well!) We also met some other lovely stall holders, which is always fun (none of which have websites to share). Several stall holders told me that they have success at Fields Days, does anybody have any experience to share?? I must ask my farming friends. We are trying to work out which markets to will attend in 2010. Have a lovely Monday! Leah

Another handmade purchase!

Hello, just a quick post, we are going away tomorrow to Hay so I should really get off this computer! Here is another of my babies, we had her clipped for the first time during the school holidays, that was a very exciting and time consuming exercise with all 4 children! Then the weather turned cold, so I bought her this lovely coat from our local craft market, Meg has been in hospital too this week to be speyed. No medical appointments for any of us next week (touching wood!!) Have a wonderful weekend! Leah

Refashioned

Hello, I didn't find the time to create a wishlist this Wednesday, so I will share this pic, I did't have time for the piggy tails either! I created this dress a few months ago with
Craft Queen goodies. The dress came form the op shop for about 50 cents. Have a happy Wednesday! Leah

My treat!

Hello, this is what I bought for myself on Saturday, I love it! My old mixmaster has broken, Jack was very upset, (and I have wanted one of these for a long time!) today we made
these we did add an egg as our hens are laying so many at the moment and the boys couldn't understand how you could bake without using an egg! Yummo! I must get to bed, I hope that your weekend was wonderful! Leah

T-shirts

Hello, I took some of these t-shirts to a craft market last night, I didn't sell one, maybe next week! I'm off to my real job now, have a lovely Saturday! Leah

Hello, this is what I wish for this week, some rest! These photos look so peaceful. We spent all day yesterday at the hospital again, Harry is all plastered up now, (from the shoulder down to his hand)! Toby has been sick all night so I am washing+++ I have posted off several large wholesale orders for Vintage Chenille and have 2 more almost finished. I'm also preparing for another market on friday night, so I had better be off. Thanks for dropping in, Happy Wednesday! Leah

World Card Making Day

Hello, I wish that I could say that I created this card for
World Card Making Day but I was extra busy on Saturday. This is a card I created last week, with some lovely bits and pieces from Craft Queen. After the craft market on Saturday, Harry had a trampoline accident and we spent the rest of the day/night in hospital! Poor Harry had 2 bones sticking out of his arm. It's now all bandaged up and we are waiting for surgery next week. Not much crafting between children and extra shifts at work! Thanks for stopping by! Leah
