======================================

I’m so pumped! I haven’t done a craft fair – as a stall holder – in several years, and I miss it! I love the atmosphere, the people, the craftiness that’s in the air, everything about it! I even love the butterfly tummy I get as it gets closer to the day. Well, maybe not so much that, but you know what I mean.

I really hope you can come. I’ll be in the Atrium. Sounds classy, right? I haven’t been to a Sisters’ Market before, and I haven’t been to the Brunswick Town Hall before, but from all accounts, it should be beautiful.

I’ll have all your favourite items for sale:

Nikki Mallalieu’s You Sew Girl! products – bag patterns, purse patterns & kits, purse frames, bag hardware, garment patterns, etc
Wiksten patterns – I still have a couple of the Tova and Tank patterns in both sizes
Beautiful (very) fat quarters of Ink & Spindle fabrics – if you’ve never used them for making bags or purses, you should. They’re divine! (I haven’t put them up on the site yet, I’ll do that after the market with whatever’s left)
Swedish Tracing Paper
Interfacing, wadding, fast2fuse, Pellon, S320, etc
zipper pulls
etc

[Currently, my husband Moshe will be manning the stall with me. Unless of course I find someone else who'd like to come keep me company. He's not as excited as I am about the show, I must admit. He'd rather be out riding his bike with his regular Saturday afternoon gang. Understandably.]

Well I can’t wait! Hope to see you there!

Earth Hour 2012

posted on March 31, 2012, at 8:16 am

More than 5,200 cities and towns in 135 countries worldwide switched off their lights for Earth Hour 2011, sending a powerful message for action on climate change. It also ushered in a new era with members going Beyond the Hour to commit to lasting action for the planet. Without a doubt, it’s shown how great things can be achieved when people come together for a common cause.

Global warming is the greatest threat facing our planet today. A warming planet alters weather patterns, water supplies, seasonal growth for plants and a sustainable way of life for us, and the world’s wildlife. Climate change has already started, but it’s not too late to take action. There’s still time for us all to be part of the solution.

Too much excitement can lead to doubles!

Some days ago, when I got all excited and bought all that Parson Grey fabric, I also bought heaps of patterns. I mean, heaps!!! Which was very cool, except that, in my excitement, I ended up with two of a couple of them. Since I created a strict sewing budget for myself this year, I am not very happy about my error. That’s an extra 3 yards of fabric, or 2-3 different patterns I could have bought! Know what I mean?

So, clearly, I need to sell them. Here are the two patterns…

The Liverpool

Charm Clutch

If you would like to buy them, please contact me. I haven’t opened the packets at all, so they’re brand new. It’ll be AU$15 for the Liverpool pattern, and AU$12 for the clutch. I’ll have to let you know how much shipping is, because it’ll depend on where you are, and if you want regular or express post.
