softies for mirabel

after my market on saturday i popped around the corner and dropped off my 'softies for mirabel' to the ever lovely pip at 'meet me at mikes'.
its such a great idea, and pip does such a great job of collecting and displaying all the softies before they go out to awesome kids just in time for christmas.
The Mirabel Foundation is based in Melbourne, they do great work helping kids who have been orphaned or abandoned due to their Mum or Dad's drug addiction. most of the kids end up being cared for by their grandparents.
Mirabel provides assistance and counselling in all sorts of ways to help the families.
the softies for mirabel project is just one way we can make a little difference and make sure these awesome kids know people care.
this year i handed in 4 softies, and i think ill probably send in some more (if all goes well)
so get on board, you dont have to be the most amazing sewer of all time, just willing to donate.

sale sale sale!

ive been feeling extra generous lately, so as an extension of my market special on saturday.....
i have 40% off all cards and tags in my madeit store.
and that includes christmas stock! woot!
its only for 48 hours, so untill 9am tues morning.
just mention '40% off' in the buyers comments, and ill send you an adjusted invoice.
hope your weekend was lovely

christmas pressie wish list....

i do believe i have found my christmas present...
i was initially thinking jewellery, then maybe new frypans, or kitschy homewares, but no!
this is it (if i can convince macguyver to come with me....)
john waters is touring 'looking through a glass onion' again,
john waters = win, music of john lennon = double win, night out, child free = magic!
and if not, i would love a goat!

mosquitoes DO NOT mess with me this year... im warning you!

im one of those peeps who breaks out in hives if a mosquito even looks at me from a distance,
in fact im sporting a 50 cent sized welt on my forearm from an attack last night. i very much dislike mozzies, and i very much dislike mozzie repelling products, so im in a slight pickle.
i came across this at a market i did recently, and it ROCKS!
so sayonara itchy itches this summer.
also im hitting the blackbird market this sat (13th nov) in good ol' fitzroy, so come and say hello!
ill have some super snazzy new stock especially for the chrissy markets.
