Rainy days aren't always blue ...
I had designated today as a sneak peek day for some new things I'll be bringing to the BrisStyle Markets on Saturday the 6th.
However, this morning I was woken from my slumber by the phone ... it was my Mum and she had some great news.
My brother had called her and wanted to come back to Brisbane.
You see 10 yrs ago my brother had some personal and relationship stuff to work through and went on a bit of a nomadic wander. He has lived all over the country working on farms and orchards and who knows what else!
The last time I spoke to my brother was 8 years ago.
He called me for a chat and told me he was in Adelaide. 2 weeks later he called my Dad from Alice Springs and asked if he could stay with Dad and get some money to come for Christmas. That was 2001. He never turned up and we were worried.
Technically he wasn't a missing person and the police wouldn't/couldn't help. He was an adult (24) and there was nothing we could do but wait.

Lately all of us have been thinking of him more as my Grandmother passed away and the whole family was there except him. All the cousins, all the nieces and nephews, his kids even. He has 2 kids he hasn't seen in 8 years or more, 1 niece and three nephews he's never met. He's lost a Grandmother and missed our parents divorce. He has a step mum and 3 step sisters and oh so much more ..
And then bang! A phonecall on a Tuesday morning, "I want to come home, I don't know my family and I don't like it".
Awesome
Best day ever
Welcome home little brother, I missed you.

Bring your classic car!
For a day of shopping, tunes, catching up with friends and of course shopping for the best sub culture finds in brisbane!
Kustom Krafts Market was started in June 09' in the back of an old Queenslander in Paddington Brisbane with 10 stalls and the turn out of people was incredible for the space we had, people of every scene, sub culture and style came out to show support for all the young designers and vintage sellers.
Now we are up to #4
We were lucky to find the 'Jagera Arts Centre' which is a historic hall, with a fence surrounding it, shading trees, room for plastics and classic and a sense you are out in the country but surrounding you are views of Brisbane city. We started the market so people could get together between major car shows and socialise, have a bite to eat, find out when the next big gig is on, relax and watch some music and shop up a storm for bargains we have major support from artists like Marcus Thorn from Tiki Beat, and the Sunstate Roller Girls, DJ Lori Lee (Greazefest),Barry Macnamara (Wintersun) Gasser Gav (Cruzin Magazine) Jo Spence (Disasterpiece Clothing) and many car clubs around the Gold Coast & Brisbane.
Entry to the market is just a gold coin donation so you can save your money to spend on the stalls.

A dilemma ... do I or don't I ...to sew or not to sew
I have run out of Labels to sew into my clothes ... and after sourcing more my supplier has kindly informed me that due to the Chinese New Year holiday I wont be able to get any more until mid march .... argggh
What do I do ... sew my stuff without labels?
Not make any more clothes?
Find a substitute?
Any ideas would be welcomed ... I have 3 markets coming up well before Mid march and I really am stuck!
I'm not against sewing without labels ... for a long time I did just that ... but do you think it matters if the clothes only have size and care labels?
