Old Tool Box

What a Find

My husband was about to through this out and was horrified I wanted to keep it as he made it when he was an apprentice carpenter back in the UK.  It has traveled with him ever since and he just wanted to get rid of it as it served no purpose.  However, with a bit of a clean up and a few changes here and there it is the perfect transport case for the jewelry my daughter makes and would look great doubling as a display case for it at the markets.  He is not impressed and I am very pleased thank you very much.

The Newest Addition

Vincent Johnii

This is the newest addition to my ever expanding family, sixth grandchild forth grandson.  He is such a dear sweet tiny little thing I could just eat him up I did not want to put him down and come home.  But came home I did to finish preparing to go down to Sydney to help my daughter with the markets as she has three on and to see the feed back on the clothing I am making. So madly making until the last minute into bed in the wee hours of Thursday morning to be waken by the loudest thunderstorm I have ever heard then the alarm went of at 4am. Hang on did I sleep at all?  Off down to Sydney again another late night early morning busy market didn't sell a thing though the jewelry of my daughter's did very well indeed so not a complete loss though a little disheartening.

On the positive side I did get to spend some wonderful time with my two daughters and their beautiful children so lots of cuddles and giggles shared.

Newest Maxi Dress

Maxi Dress

Finally made up some fabric I have had hanging around for the last couple of years into this maxi dress.  I do love it, the pattern of the fabric is very boho and very feminine.  One of my girls already has her eye on it I don't think it will make it to the market at Avalon in Sydney this weekend.

Fringe Top

New Fringe Top

I have had an amazing creative weekend and here is another top that has appeared out of that creative time and space in my studio.  I am a very lucky woman to have the time and space to explore all aspects of my creativity now if I just didn't have the sleep.........

Lace Top

New Lace Top Sample

I have just finished this lace top sample and I am very pleased with the results. Great over swimmers or with a little top, dark denim jeans and platform shoes.  I will be taking this down to the Avalon Markets in Sydney where my daughter Mia makes jewellery and I make the clothing.  There is only enough fabric and lace to make a couple so they will be very unique pieces
