Wrap it up! October and November in 1 hit ...

I hadn't realised how much I had neglected my blog until I went to take some of the pics off my camera! Woah Nelly ... talk about busy and not enough time to sit down and have a cup of tea ...

So VERY BRIEFLY ...

Halloween was a blast ... the kids and I decorated and dressed up and waited for the neighbourhood kids to come around knocking ...



One hot day after school and work I took the kids down to Bunya River for a bit of afternoon tea and duck watching, we then planned our next picnic and decided we'd come back another day after school with our swimmers and take a little dip


Kitty Boo Boo is now stocked in Handmade Heaven in Ipswich. This shop rocks and I bought so much stuff but it all went to my sisters a and b at my sister a's baby shower

Speaking of which the baby shower was great until Sam decided to have the biggest meltdown to date ... I was horrified and had no idea how to deal with it because he's never been so naughty or disobedient. However apart from toddler tanties and other dramas it was great to chill with my sisters and niece and nephew

The Kustom Krafts Market was on Sun Nov 8 and we had a great day even though it was so hot we practically melted

Finished for BiDM now are some more wrist cuffs (with thanks to my fellow Brown Owl Kelly for her nimble fingers and button attaching!)
With limited time between the kids and work I haven't been able to organise much time for making for the BrisStyle indie Designer Markets and spent earlier this week cutting out and I have been sewing like a MAD WOMAN yesterday and managed to get this pile of stuff half done

skirts for girls, shorts for girls and boys, dresses for the ladies and the second pic above are the straps for NEW sundresses with a vintage/retro 50's style also managed to make more earrings and still need to get some hairclips made later next week ...
all of which will be available HERE

And lastly I can't believe I am about to do this but check out the disaster area. It's like a minefield but a lot neater after a quick organising for the next available period of sewing frenzy!

I wont be online for a little while due to having to restock and attend a few pre christmas gatherings and my sisters baby shower.

So in the mean time here's a bit of news:
All winners of giveaways will receive their parcels soon as I am posting off tomorrow!

Kitty Boo Boo is really happy and excited to now be stocked in Handmade Heaven. Yay yay yay

I'll be taking some more clothes down over the next few weeks ... there is so much beautiful stuff in there! I bought some cupcake soaps, a gorgeous ring, a cool colouring in book, a baby wrap 'cake' and a cool gift card. I will put pics up at a later date as they are for the aforementioned baby shower!

Such beautiful creative work in that store! Lovely Leisa, it's all beautiful and I can't wait to see your expansion!

Yoyo my day away ... my space today



After drafting some patterns for belts and making up the templates I didn't actually feel like cutting out today ... so after 8 loads of washing and other boring monotonous housework I managed to squeeze in some time on my day off to make some yoyo's.

I use these babies on headbands, hairclips, brooches, belts, anything I can stitch or glue them on to. I LOVE THEM. And they'll be all over stuff I'm making for the South Bank Young Designer Markets on Nov 1st and also the BrisStyle Markets on Dec 5th

Kitchen Delights and Kitty Brights ...


Yay for summer ... in my house we like to cook light and summer is the season for fish and salad. We can't seem to get enough and it's amazing how the same four basic ingredients can be so wholly changed with a few extra herbs and spices ...

Last night it was a throw together - I had meant to have a Thai Salad but we didn't go shopping so with the fish Pete brought home I julienned some potatoes and after frying them up I doused them with a sprinkle of lime and chilli salt.

The fish was pan fried with more lime and some Ketjap Manis. I used baby roma tomatoes and chunks of coriander in the salad. After sprinkling with ground coriander I mixed up some olive oil, sweet chilli, lemon juice and salt and poured that over.

YUMMO

We had a garage sale last weekend and my neighbour and friend Liz popped over and we were discussing wool. She recently started felting and loves it. I happened to have a few balls of wool that she could no longer get and to show her gratitude she made Erin a felt Kitty like the others she has been making.



B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L
The photos really don't do this kitty justice

She makes Babushkas, Retro Kitty Cats and she brought over a bag with a beautiful wrap and hat and some felt slippers she has made.

I'm trying to get her onto Etsy because her stuff is that great

Halloween Creepy Cute Giveaway!



Hidie Hi from some little creepy cute guys ... these boys are buddies which is good because I'm sure Sam will have them having duals and wars ... I love watching the kids play with toys I make and usually they're a bit cute so it's even cooler that both Sam and Erin like these guys too ...



I love the creepy side of my crafting, having been a goth for many years I still have a hankering for black stuff and lace etc every now and then so I love Halloween because it means that side of me can be expressed with free will



I know we don't really celebrate Halloween here in Australia and I know it's actually at the wrong time of year for us too but I do so love it ... the kids and I will dress up and hand out treats and watch The Nightmare Before Christmas (and when they go to bed I'll watch my beloved Donnie Darko)

What are your plans this Halloween?

Leave me a comment, follow my blog and you could win one of these ... but hurry ... giveaway ends on the 26th Oct at 9pm AEST (the clips in the packet are devil horns!)
