my creative space 'last minute market preparations'

Greetings all,

So the massive Handmade Market is on this Saturday in Canberra, even better, e x t e n d e d   hours to 7p.m.!!  They get 10 000 people attend in searing heat in a Woolshed down a dusty dirt road, 12 000 people to freezing cold markets with potential sleet in a Winery . . . nothing stops the love for Handmade, which proudly turned 2 last week!!  I know, only 2 years & it just grows & gets better!!  A Shop opened it's doors in the heart of Canberra this Easter & da dah, an amazing book . . . to be released in 2 days.  So dizzy that i'm involved in all 3 aspects, from their inceptions, dreams, ideas. 
Last chance to win a copy of Handmade Living, a sewing craft kit & $150 worth of fabric here!!  Follow & leave a comment, simple, drawn tomorrow morning, good luck!!  Stay tuned too, next week there are 10 copies of IKEA's new book Beloved Homes to win too!!

So what do i do 48 hours out from show time . . .  

 Thea & Sami sent me 5kg of remnants, oh my joy, these larger pieces are being made into pouches.  Just in case of rain i'm opting for a smaller stall with smaller products to make best use of my covered marquee position & table space.  So it's back to tried & tested favourites.  I plan to sew for 16-18 hours today, already done 3 hours!!  Thanks Thea, i love these fabrics, they arrived just in time!!  Wait until you see the brooches i've done . . .

 Yes my lounge needs a shampoo & condition + the floors could do with a steam.  Anyway, i'm tossing freshly cut fabrics from the spacious kitchen counter into waiting baskets to then transfer into different baskets for Euro/ Babushka/ Christmas/ Children's themes.

 Some repairs to baskets & jars are required, oh no, a big crack which i hadn't noticed until my eagle eyed husband said "this is smashed".  I know when, i plonked it down a little too hard after last weekend's Mathilda's when i came home sick.  Same time i smashed the lantern. 

What, is that blue sky trying to break through??  Please??!!
So i'm home alone, handsome soldier took the children to school, but not before i ran down the street in a nightie with ONE school lunch left behind!!  Good morning neighbours.  I'm also stuck as soldier boy put on a load of washing which included ALL my bras, clearly he thought the neat stack to be put in my drawer were dirty.  So short of ducking out in a bikini top or sports bra, i'll stay in my jammies until one is dry, so then i can trip out to replace the jar & lantern i smashed.  In the mean time, sewing/ packaging/ packing mania here!!
