I've been a bad blogger

Very sorry, I've been a lizard drinking these past couple of weeks getting ready for the Huckleberry Market which was on Sunday just gone. I will be back I promise but in the mean time you can find me at the Shirt and Skirt market this sunday with Bec from Baby Chilli and Lynda from Stoked Creations.

Here's a pic of me from sunday, taken by Bec from Baby Chilli.

Can you see me?

Till next time, keep crafting!

p.s The winner from the Sophie & Jack giveaway is Jane! Will contact you soon!

Can you see the problem here??? And a freebie!

So annoyed, but have contacted TYPO as well as tagged them in a post from my page so lets hope I get a response.

This is also what I've been up to...

A logo for a friend of mine for her new business. If you live down Mornington way and love fresh fruit to your door, why not try Mornington Peninsula Cheap Fruit & Veg.

These are market signs and price tags for Lil Pip's first market as seen here. Jane had a brain wave by using her current logo, removing the wording, adding the price and cutting them out using a circle punch she has these cute little price tags so off I went! The signs will be in little frames, so cute!

Remember the cute frame I got from the latest issue of Real Living, I couldn't decide on what to put in it, I didn't want to use a photo, cos that's predictable so instead I did something else, granted for me it's kind of ironic as what I put in there is predictable for me LOL.

What a morning....

My morning was spent watching Dora and Diego, oh and don't forget their friends, boots, map, the camera things, and swiper and Santa.... Who would have thought sitting in the sun for 1.5 hours without water and sunscreen would suck so much! They NEVER have these things outside, it's always inside on the main stage at Eastland, but this time it was outside just across from the coffee club. I'm beat oh and never doing it again!!!!

On to more exciting things, I got myself a new pair of sunnies, they were the best $5 could buy! And they have diamonties!

don't look at anything but the sunnies!

Smoke and Mirrors...

This was taken about 1hr into the festivities/nightmare! If I ever mention I want to become a children's entertainer please shoot me!

On the craft front I've not been doing much other than some design work. I've been helping Jane over on Lil Pip by making some price tags for the upcoming Maribrynong makers market she'll be at! Be sure to stop by and say hi! The market will be on the 26th November, 9.30am - 3.30pm.

I'm also designing a logo for a friends new venture, Mornington Cheap Fruit and Veg, stay tuned and I'll blog them when it's been picked.

I must get my butt into gear as I'll be sharing and running a stall at the next Huckleberry Market on Dec 4th at the Croydon leisure centre.

Please come and check out all the handmade loveliness!

Did you know we have a Facebook page? It's for both Eastside Crafters and the blog, so please come by and like so you can be kept up to day with my goings on as well as info about our crafty catch ups!

Alrightly I must get started on my sewing! I got my rasant thread in the post yesterday so am going to give it a whirl!

Till next time, keep crafting! xo

A special cause - {Blogtoberfest day 13}

I showed you a look at what I had been working on here yesterday. Well here's what it's all about...

October is National Breast Cancer Awareness month, you can purchase lots of different pink items which go towards the NBCF.

I'm doing my part by donating this OOAK BCA Frog. The auction starts on October 17th, 8pm over on La Crafts Facebook page.  Check out all the gorgeous pink themed handmade creations available. If you wish to vote for my frog head on over here!

I am thankful that no one close to me has been affected by breast cancer but I know many friends who have.

Isn't he/she cute, Master 4 wanted it for himself but I had to gently explain to him it was for something very special, he happily gave it up, bless his little cotton socks ♥.

In other news, how awesome is the weather in Melbourne, it's luffly. What's the weather like where you are? 

Good news, I have a couple of tutorials in the works, they are christmas themed so stay tuned! I'm a little excited.
