oh wow. i have discovered i am a really BAD blogger. no blogging since April last year?

homemade beauty bits

well, in addition to enjoying a lovely long christmas break with the kids and hubby at home (we achieved a few long overdue projects around our house) i have been busy with making things for the market stall - it is going really well! i have also been trialling home-made beauty products. last week i finished the crochet rug started last May for my sister's 21st birthday gift and this week i have been busy stewing fruit, settling the kids back to school routine and sorting out my imminent return to working life (just part-time/casual at this stage).

i never took a pic of the finished product - this is the rug minus border

our market stall

our next market stall is this saturday and i have a few new products ready to go. one of my favourite new products are some scrabble tile cufflinks for the gentlemens. i met a lovely family at the last market - the man of the house purchased some retro coles circus cufflinks - he was so excited as Cole is their surname. it is great when you match a product that suits someone so perfectly!

so - i guess i'll be blogging again some time in 2014!
