Lovely Day

Well as you all know yesterday I was heading to Cairns to have a sticky beak at the Christmas Craft fair that was held at the showgrounds.
It turned out to be a great day.
Before i left home i was feeling a bit down and double & triple thinking & questioning myself whether i have what it takes to make Homemade Gifts Bazaar a success. By a success i mean are my goods that i make good enough. But i love to make and majority of the time makes me de-stress, so off we went and in back of my mind the self doubt was floating around.
First went and got some goodies from the dance shop for the concert which is on in less than 3 weeks. EEEK.
So after making our gold coin donation to the Leukaemia Foundation we decided which way were going and headed off looking at all the beautiful goods that so many talented people had made. With over 130 stalls to check out we had plenty to see.
So along the first aisle who do we come across but Aunty Deb and friend selling beautiful handmade cards.
Then as we continue along we come across a stall with a name that seems familiar, kept walking but it got the better of me and so i went back and yes i was right. I finally got to put a face to the name of my lovely Australian ribbon supplier, it was so worth the trip down. After having a little chat and Mary-Ann giving me an amazing confidence boost by commenting & complimenting on the clips the girls were wearing we continued on our way. Thanks so much mate!
So the ideas that i have in my head for 2011 will now still be going ahead. Many new & exciting items to come as well as some old favourites.

Note to self stop doubting yourself old girl.

Cheers to you all!

Time is against me as per usual


Some days it seems the clock is in fast forwards lately. I would say more often than not. Maybe i am trying to take on too much but if I don't set myself huge goals i wont push myself is my belief anyone else do that? With assignments due, many craft projects on the go, a house that seems to not want to stay clean, (missG has something to do with that i think) and now being term 4 there is always something going on either at school or dancing. So it's the weekend again which means out the door with go, with many different bags but amongst them is the most important - my travelling sewing bag which is always full of a project or two. So on that i will wish you all a great weekend.

*darn it- just heard thunder in distance, rainy weather gear needs to be packed now.
OH IT NEVER ENDS BUT AT LEAST I CAN SAY I AM NEVER BORED

I am adding some pictures from the girls and my Halloween fun from last weekend.
