my first craft market experience...

So, I promised that I'd post about this last week, but life got on top of me and my husband totaled his work car, so... here we are, and I think I can finally share some about what it was all like and share a few photographs along the way!

The day started out cold, it couldn't decide whether to be sunny or not, but at least it wasn't raining (or snowing! - it snowed the next Saturday!!!).

I packed bib's, dishcloths, oven gloves and cards in my suitcase and ended up selling $41 worth of things (mainly bib's and a few oven gloves!).

It was so much fun and I LOVED getting feedback from people on their thoughts on my crafts. And now I have the money to open up my etsy store - so keep an eye on the blog for more news on that front.

Honey, I'm back!

Well, I've been home since Tuesday, but it's taken this long for me to be in a place to blog. I had an absolutely FANTASTIC time with my sister and nephew! It was incredibly hard to get back to the reality which is my life. I love my kids, but they can be really full-on and are a lot of work at the moment. So I am back, but not working at 100% yet.

Here are a few pics of my holiday's, and I have a couple of post ideas to come next week. With one all about my experience at the Lyttleton Market, so keep a watch out for that one! :)

My sister had her baby on Monday 21st April - a little girl, Ruby Margaret. Very much a cutie-patootie and so I'm gonna be busy next week making a few little things for her and her Mum. :D
