I made a heap of Christmas stockings for Gattons Christmas in the country and ended up with a few left over so they will be coming with me on Saturday to The Handmade Expo market. I currently have some of these in Handmade Heaven as well and they sell for $25 each, but I thought as a market special only I'll have them for sale for $20. Bargain! The perfect thing to get for the kids that have everything. They're big enough to pop some sweet little goodies inside too!
If you can't get to the market but you'd still like to grab the market special of $20 each, let me know and I'll honour that for you until Saturday. I have more available than just those pictured, if you'd like to see more, let me know.
Oh, and thanks for the encouraging words on Monday, they did mean a lot and I'm feeling a bit more on top of things now. Thank you guys, you rock!
After putting together the little cushion to match the robot quilt, I kind of got a little sidetracked from some things I have actually planned to make and went off and made these kids cushions. I'm totally loving them! These are a size bigger than the robot cushion and would be great to add that little something to a kids bedroom. So far I have the cowboy print and the cupcake print. I wonder how many more I can get done....
These will be $35 with the insert or $30 without. Personally I think they could probably do with an insert one size bigger than what they are currently in, but I don't have the time to get them! Just that bigger size would make them extra squishy and nice I think. The robot one is of course included with the quilt from yesterday.
Again, if you can't make it to the Handmade Expo and you would really like one of these, let me know and we'll work something out. Eeek! There is only one more week to go until the market!
I was really itching to use that robot fabric I found, and I just knew it had to be a new little baby quilt. I know it's not really chenille and flannelette weather here in Australia, but these little quilts make such great new bubba gifts I made one anyway. They're great to just add that bit of colour to a nursery. For this one I even made this sweet little matching cushion. I love the way it turned out! I'm going to sell these as a set for $95. Considering I normally sell this size baby quilt alone in Handmade Heaven for $89.95, I think this is a real bargain.
If you can't make it to the The Handmade Expo market on the 20th of November and you really must have this, let me know and we'll work something out.

Eeeek! I've gone and booked myself in to the next Handmade Expo market on the 20th of November and I'm going to be sewing like a mad woman to get enough stock to take with me. I thought in the lead up to the market I would share some of the things I will be taking with me.
I made these cushions yesterday using bits from my vintage sheet stash and a dresden plate panel from a 1930's vintage quilt. I really love how these turned out. I hope to get a few of these done to take with me. They would make great Christmas presents I think. These will be $40 each with the insert included or $35 without the insert.
I'm hoping to get a chance to blog at least every couple of days between now and the market so my readers can get a bit of a preview of what I'll be taking. If you can't make it to the market and you see something you like, let me know, I'm sure we can work something out.
