I have been without internet/email access now for more than two weeks - we had some pretty severe electrical storms up here in the Blue Mountains - we lost power/phone/ADSL line/back to base alarm in one massive lightning strike - the lightning also popped a hole in our gas line, so I came home from a peaceful day of quilting to find gas bubbling up through my front lawn - and you can just imagine the smell!! So nice to be back on line!!
I had a stall at a local craft market this week, (Springwood) and once again was totally amazed at the quality of the work produced by local women - hand knitted garments, exquisite embroidery and cross stitch, quilted bags, jewellery to die for, hand made toys etc .... it is a bake/make/grow market so there is also a great selection of home baked goods, jams and chutneys, beautiful plants (especially bonsai) - you are doing well to take any profits home, any profits generally get passed around the other stall holders!! But such a nice way to spend a Saturday.
Speaking of hand made toys, I am just crazy about these little knitted creatures - they are made for me by a couple of very talented local knitters - I am attached to them, and find it hard to let them go to new homes!! They remind me very much of toys from the 1940's and 50's. Just look at those sweet little faces! I have many of these animals available for sale on www.julesandme.com - why not give one a home??
