A Successful Weekend!

Here's some photos of my stand from the weekend. I had a corner spot in a big marquee - at first I wasn't real happy with being stuck in the corner, but found that I didn't have anyone next to me so took full advantage of that and took up two spots! It was good to really spread myself out as a lot of my customers had prams and it became quite congested at times! lol All in all a very successful weekend with lots of returning customers and quite a few new ones. I sold nearly ALL my dresses - quite amazed really considering the weather on the first day was shocking and the second day was good in the morning only before it got cold and glumy again in the afternoon. Sorry about the photos being a bit dark, thankfully I had a window spot, otherwise I would have needed some lights around my stand.




Thankyou everyone for all the lovely comments you are leaving. Now that I have sold my other business I am hoping to get this little business going to continue to be able to be a WAHM.
I am supposed to have another market this Sunday but may need to cancel that as I have a wholesale order to get done this week for a little boutique in Brisbane - more on that when I am finished sewing for them and have their order in the post! Very exciting!

Its been quiet . . .

too quiet really here on the blog!
I have been so busy the last few weeks, LOTS has been happening and life seems to just be flying by. I have seriously neglected my EB sewing / quilting buddies - sorry girls, I'll be back online next week again I promise! I have been busy busy sewing and quilting away making up as much as I can for the 2 day Show this weekend I am having a stand at. I can't wait to get out there Friday and get set up. Only have a few more skirts to finish off and a couple of quilts to bind for that.
We have also had some fantastic news this week with the sale of my other business - very exciting and wonderful - this means I can hopefully get sewing/quilting LOTS more - especially in order to full-fill a few wholesale orders that are coming in . . . more on that next week!
Have to leave it there, but will post later in the week with some pics of all my goodies I am taking to the show!

WIP Wednesday

Its been a busy week! And, it's only going to get busier! I spent today doing fabric button ponytail sets and single giant button ponytail holders. These are for the upcoming Agricultural Show I am having a stand at at the end of the month. Its a two day show so am just about empting my stash of fabric making as much as I can of everything - if it goes well, then that's great - I get to buy more fabric, lol! If not, then I will have a huge pile of goodies to load up into my shops and I might even have a sale . . .
Some dresses I finished off yesterday - thought my collection I had needed a little pink added to it so sort out these beautiful Amy Butler prints . . .
Some more dresses cut out and ready to sew . . .
And this gorgeous fabric I picked up last week from Corrie over at Retro Mummy. It is the most gorgeous Japanese patchwork fabric that I just had to get a couple of metres of each - plans at this stage are to turn out a few pram blankets, but that may change . . .


I still need to sort out how I am going to set up my stand at the show - I have a 3m x 3m block and need to work out the best way to space out 2 - 3 trestle tables and probably 3 racks for clothes/quilts. Any suggestions to how to show off the hair accessories would be greatful - I usually just have them piled in shallow baskets, but maybe was thinking a big peg board? Might see what I can find on flickr . . .

Hope you are all having a great week :)
