Advent Blog-a-long Day #22 - Introducing the 'Grace' dress

This is my latest design - the 'Grace' dress. Based on the same pattern as the 'Gypsy' dress but something a little different with the fabrics, using a beautiful linen/cotton blend for the dress and just a hint of colour with designer cottons for the trim band and patch on the front. All different - all OOAK - beautiful, elegant and graceful. Lovely and cool in Summer and teamed with a long top and tights in winter, year round wear growing from a dress to a top.

A small selection of these new dresses in the Natural and Chocolate linen are now available in my Madeit Store with more to come shortly in red and khaki linen. Custom orders will re-open on the 4th January 2010 - available in sizes 0 -7 Years.

Advent Blog-a-long Day #6 - Christmas Markets & Store Stocking

Wow, what a weekend. My final two markets for the year went very well, here's some pics from today's market out at Red Cliffs which is a market I do the first Sunday of every month. I have a permanent site on the shady side of the street - right out the front of the local supermarket . . . and the windows showing the beer advertisements, lol. A great spot though which I am really happy with.

I have also been uploading lots of new goodies into my madeit store, but still have LOTS more to add, it is just a slow process. And, I have two special offers happening between now and Christmas! All orders over $15 between now and Christmas will receive a special free gift and all orders over $60 placed between the 7th & 17th December will receive free post (within Australia).

So if you are still looking for that perfect Christmas gift for someone, make sure you pop on over to Madeit - there are lots of very talented crafters / designers / handmakers that I am sure would love to see you all pop into their stores for a browse and even a purchase!

Advent Blog-a-long Day #5 - Next Store Stocking

It was a very busy morning for me at the markets this morning, wonderful to see so many returning customers and lots of new ones too! Looking forward to another wonderful market tomorrow morning out at Red Cliffs - hope to see some of you there!

Just a quick note to let you know that I will be stocking my madeit store tomorrow night choc full of lots of lovely clothing, gifts and more! And, I will also be offering free standard shipping within Australi for all orders over $60 placed between the 7th & 17th December 2009.

Plus as always, a little freebie with all purchases.

So pop on over to the SHOP after 7pm tomorrow night : )

Blogtoberfest Day #10 ~ Store Stocked & an Extra Giveaway!

Unfortunately last nights market was a very quiet affair, most definitely the quietest market I have ever done. But, as a result I have lots of stock sitting here that I have just loaded up into my Madeit Shop.

So pop on over, tell me what your favourite item in the shop is and next Friday night i'll draw a winner for a $20 voucher to spend in store, valid until Christmas.

How can you get some extra entries into the draw? 1. Become a follower of the blog if you aren't already, 2. Become a fan of my facebook page - the link is over there on the left and 3. Blog about this on your own blog. Please leave a seperate comment for each extra entry so that I can just do the random number thingy to get a winner.

Good luck everyone!

Off to England!

Now wouldn't that be nice! But no . . . I'm not off to England. This little quilt that I finished off last night is though. I finished off the FMQ'ing through the week and the hand binding last night while watching the tv. It is for a little man called Morris. I hope they like it!

And some new fabric covered button hair elastics that i have just listed in my Madeit Shop - I got loads of the most gorgeous Japanese small print fabrics in the post this week - too cute!

Something new . . .

HERE

So its a new website - still a work in progress, but hopefully something that boost's my little business venture up the ladder a bit. The technical jargon is still all new to me, so I am slowly getting it set up when I get some free moments to myself, lol!

I need to get back to sewing, I have had a few surprise sales today in both my Madeit and ETSY stores, and now need to replenish my stock for my market Sunday!

Have a lovely weekend everyone!
