Back Online...

I'm back and have just listed some butterfly sets. I'm putting some red ones up tomorrow. Thanks for your patience!!!

Catastrophic technical hitch

Big apologies to those who want to buy some wall art from my Madeit store at the moment. Our computer has completely died and I can't do anything until we get our new one up and running - as well as retrieving all of my data (yikes!). Hope to be back on line in a few days so please come and visit soon!!

Loving crochet

I always thought crochet was for nannas (it's not a bad thing, I'm just not a nanna yet) but whilst searching for a little project for my crafty ladies night (get together with friends to eat chocolate, drink wine and do some crafting) I came across an etsy store that sells crochet patterns. They looked good and I thought I'd give it a go. A few tutorials from Youtube, a cute crochet pattern from the said Esty store and a few crafty ladies nights and I made an adorable hat for my little Miss Emma. I've since made two more and decided crochet is not just for nannas any more. PS I was hoping to get some photos of my creations actually on Miss Emma but true to form she decided she didn't want to wear a hat at that very moment *sigh*

I'm in the Madeit Newsletter!!

Taking a break!

Well life has been getting a little hectic and I am finding that I'm not doing ANYTHING well so I've decided to take a bit of a break from my little crafty business to step back, have a think about it and come back newer and better! I'll still have a few things in my Madeit store but I won't be at any markets or have any stuff in the Handmade store for a little while. Life is too short to be too busy to enjoy it! Anyway, I'll still be posting when I get my hands on the computer - my hubby is writing a screenplay every second he has a free moment. Speak soon! Mel

Markets - erama!

Stressing just a little as I prepare for TWO upcoming markets over the next few weeks. The first is the awesome Handmade Markets on Feb 19 (11am to 4pm) at the National Convention Centre and the second at the Mathilda's Markets at the absolutely gorgeous Hyatt Hotel Ballroom on March 6 (9am to 1pm). I'll have a bit of a new look (more on that later) and some new products to test. So if you are around please come and say "hello".

Etsy loving...again!

Some people are just so clever and stylish! I came across this great designer the other day on Etsy. The shop is called Homako and this is my favourite piece. Since I can't really wear any bling at the moment (impossible with a curious 3 year old and 8 month old!) this will do me quite nicely!
