Is it going to get annoying if I report in again that Mum and I had 'such a great day' at The Square - Bendigo's Handmade Market on Saturday? Well, I'm sorry if it's repetitive, but we did! We met some lovely customers - thank you to all of those who looked at our stall, gave … Continue reading Roundup from The Square
New mobiles, new markets
The owl mobile is one of my most popular designs and I've just added a couple of new colours: And with all of this glorious sunshine, I couldn't help but get back into market fever. I'll be at the Kids Market Central Vic in Castlemaine on Saturday 10 September, The Square - Bendigo's Handmade Market on Saturday 17 … Continue reading New mobiles, new markets
Woman overdoses on cookie dough
It wasn't worth leaving on the oven to cook just four of Bill Granger's Double choc chip cookies on a final tray. So I ate them. All four lumps of cookie dough. And now I look at the cooked trays of biscuits and think I would never eat four of those in a row. Or … Continue reading Woman overdoses on cookie dough
Our first outdoor market
Armed with our new gazebo and a last-minute stall booking, we headed off to the Anderson's Mill Festival in Smeaton yesterday.

We sold a few things, but mostly enjoyed the music. … Continue reading Our first outdoor market

I wanted to let people know via Facebook that I would have a stall at the market. But amid the recent and widespread loss from floods and cyclones, it seemed wrong … Continue reading “The Haystack in the Floods”
Sales galore at The Square
What a good problem to have - we're almost out of stock! We were blown away yesterday by the number of people and by the sales we made at The Square - Bendigo's Handmade Market (launch market). It was in the Bendigo Town Hall - how stunning is the plasterwork inside? We had both been sewing like … Continue reading Sales galore at The Square
Sticker fun
I bought myself some time while I was getting ready for the market by handing Elsie a sheet of sticky labels that I'd been using for price tags. This is how I found the remote control later: We enjoyed having a stall at the Sugar & Spice Children's Market in Woodend on Sunday. From our … Continue reading Sticker fun
