Back in my old hood...

On Sunday I took a road trip up to Toowoomba to visit family and I also had the chance to swing by my friend Sally (of djbebe) and visit her market stall at the Queen's Park Craft markets. I found Sal sheltering from a crazy cold wind along with her crafting buddy Carly on their combined stall (above). Their gorgeous wares were miraculously not being blown all over the park! I noted some treats that I am hoping will make their way to Lyssy May's shelves this week - so stay tuned.

The Queen's Park markets is where it all started for me in December 1993 - I had some rag dolls and a few other odds and ends and it was definitely when I caught the bug for selling my handmade things. It was a nice moment to see my friend also starting out selling directly there - go Sally!

Voodoo Therapy

I am a big fan of pincushions and have some very treasured ones in my collection. At the moment I am loving using the 'voodoo' style (above) made for me by Sally of djbebe. Its very therapeutic to stab the pins back when the sewing machine isn't in a co-operative mood.

The 3 pictured below are sweet handmade ones created exclusively for my shop. Priced from $12.50 they are a wonderful gift idea not only for someone who sews, but you could also use them to display badges or vintage hat pins.
