And Mermaid’s Purse will be there.  I’m so excited, I’ve been mad busy sewing, stuffing, cutting, trimming and naming loads of lovely treats for you to take home.

Tomorrow I have some pretty snugly sea horses needing new homes, and a nice bunch of Don’t Give Me The Chop! Carrots, and some very exciting Make Your Own Cupcake Pincushion Kits.  The pincusion kits have been a while in the making and I figure this months Auckland Art Craft Fair is THE place to launch them for all you craft loving shoppers..

See you tomorrow at the Aotea Center Foyer from 11am to 4pm!  Wohoo!

So baby is due in about six weeks and I’ve been winding down somewhat in anticipation of the madness to come, unfortunately I have also been neglecting my blog.  I have also been frantically making as much as I can while I can, with a good pile of sea horses cut ready to sew and a batch of cupcakes ready to assemble, I am wondering just how much I will be able to get done!

This Saturday will probably be my last Crafternoon Tea for a month or so, so come along and say hello, the market is on from 10am-3pm at the Trinity Methodist Church, on the corner of Sandringham and New North Roads in Kingsland.  As usual there will be lots of lovely crafty goodies to get your hands on.

I will also be at  Kraftbomb in Grey Lynn the following weekend as well, so it’s to market, to market!

Aside from all the craft market goodness I am putting together some crochet pieces for an exhibition opening at Artstation in July this year.  Entitled Desire Lines I will write up more details over the next week…  all very exciting!

I’ll be checking out one of the newest craft markets to hit Auckland, Cratfernoon Tea, and I’m really excited, check their website for photos of some of the goodies on offer.  It’s always fun to see more people busy making things.

This is the second market and is from 10am-2pm at the Trinity Methodist Church Hall, 400 New North Road, Kingsland.  See you there!

Here are some of my new products that have been on the go for a while…  including the Witchy Poo Stitchy Poo Pincushions, available at the next Kraftbomb, and more vege softies, so far just wee carrots!

All handmade from felt and using recycled stuffing, so many things to make so little time!

Mermaid’s Purse will be there…  will you?

Come along to the Grey Lynn Community Centre for Kraftbomb on Sunday March 29th, and check out some funky krafts and other goodies…

So Luna is sound asleep, Rob is out visiting and Austin The Cat is looking for a comfy chair to settle down on, and so it’s just me and my pincushions…bliss.  We had a good day at Kraftbomb today, lots of cool crafts, a warm day and a good crowd of people made for a successful day for most vendors.  And a good coffee after a not so sound nights sleep…

Here are a few pics of my table…

Lovely new garden flower brooches.

My new Love Stuck Starfish pin cushions!

The last Kraftbomb in Grey Lynn was excellent, and this time ’round I bought a couple of little treats..

These badges are from Boocraft and are just so cool!  While if I hadn’t already blown all my cash I might have bought one of these pretty tiles…  from Little Ladies

Wohoo so exciting!

Check the Big Day Out website for the the full press release, in the meantime, I can’t wait to see Bjork, Shihad, and Rage Against the Machine, other cool acts include kiwi’s Katchafire, SJD, The Phoenix Foundation and The Clean. And that’s just the first announcement! Tickets go on sale from all usuals from October the 12th, $120 + booking fee, can they up the price any further? Gees.
I will be about eight months pregnant, but I think I’ll be ok! How often do you get to see Bjork?? It will be good for baby, I’m sure…
