Rebooting, restarting, re...

Okay, now it's April and I'm starting to panic.  Surely I should have settled into the rhythm of 2012 by now?  I've done so little blogging of late I'm faced with this whole new-look blogger thing and it's freaking me out!  I hope my signature ends up at the bottom of the page rather than at the top.  I hope I manage to preview the post before I inadvertently publish it for all to see.

I do believe I'm doing two markets this weekend.  Saturday kicks off the Sister's Market year at the Brunswick Town Hall from 10-4.  I'm there.  I'm booked in. I'm confirmed.

Sunday.  Outdoors.  Shirt & Skirt.  Abbotsford Convent.  10-4.  Love it!

I've been fiddling with the online shop.  There's some new, some sale and some more handknits.  I've also been working on beanies & mitts for bigger kids - nearly ready!  So head to the shop if you want to snap up some bargains.  They'll be going to market this weekend and I think they won't be around for long!

 

Yarraville Market this weekend

This Saturday I'll be at the wonderfully gorgeous - 

I am honoured and excited to be the very first 'Stall-holder of the Month" for this delightful market.  To celebrate I'm offering a $50 gift voucher (knitwear excluded) but you have to go here to be in the running.

Thanks for the lovely comments on my last post.  She was my daily companion for 11 years, once I left work to have children, and I miss her terribly.  

Saying goodbye

Fourteen years, five months and nineteen days.

One of the hardest goodbyes.

A family of broken hearts.

"Reetpetite Lady Be Good" aka Kali.

It's been a rough month.  I need a little more time.  Be back soon.

February

Ahem - can someone please tell me what happened to January?  One minute it was there, and now it seems to have grown legs and walked itself off somewhere out of sight.  So much for my plans, January.  I was looking forward to using you to get myself organised for the year.  And now February has arrived, early it would seem.  Perhaps you don't like being seen as the month squeezed in between the December madness and the February back-to-everything rush.  I do apologise, but trust me when I say I love you dearly for it.  But now, you've gone and I lament your passing.

Today marks the last day of school holidays for us, so we celebrated with a visit to the Melbourne Museum and IMAX (Tornado Alley in 3D - let's see how many nightmares that inspires tonight!) and a special lunch with the MOTH.

Yes, that's my tribe in the Forest Gallery of the museum.  It's a lovely place to explore.

Okay - time to get back to the family, spend some quality time before the madness begins.  Oh dear, they seem to be happily playing on the wii.  I guess I'll have coffee instead!

Summer

There and back

Oh golly - Christmas has been and gone.  Our beach holiday seems but a distant memory.

Tomorrow is my first market for the year.  Low key.  An easing into the new year.

Shirt and Skirt Market

Abbotsford Convent

1 St Heliers Street

Abbotsford

10-4

Oh, and I'll be having a "Nothing Over $20 SALE" (knitwear excluded).  I'm clearing the decks for new things to come.  So get in quick!

I'm in a slightly different spot tomorrow, teaming up with Pia Handmade.  Still near the bakery, just down closer to the driveway.  The weather gods are going to be kind tomorrow, to make up for December's disgraceful conditions!

Here I am

It's the last weekend before Christmas.

The last of the markets for the year - 

Last night (but I guess it's a bit late for you now!) and today I'm at the Sister's Market at the Brunswick Town Hall.  10-4.  In my usual spot.

And tomorrow - Shirt and Skirt at the Abbotsford Convent 10-4

Quite close the the coffee, which always makes me happy!
