Craft market - Lambert Road Baptist

Yesterday I was at a craft market at Lambert Road Baptist Church. The day started out so hot! It also ended hot. It was the first hot day we had in a few days. Lucky for us we were in a hall, so no sunburn!
Nicholas had made me such wonderful peg boards to display some of my items and to give us more space on the table.

The market started out very quietly, but a few people started coming in. I sold quite a few things. The crayon rolls, tissue holders, taglets and note books always being the most popular.


The other things that I love are the Christmas tins. The Santa and the Snowman. I also have reindeer but they've already been sold. I sold a Santa and I was so happy. I use the tins to either put cutlery or treats in. They are also nice as a hamper, which we did last Christmas. We put in mince pies, shortbread, choclates and other little things.

I also have made Roll-up Kitchen playmats. People seem to love them but never buy them, I guess they need some tweaking.


There were so many other things and I bought more things from other people, than I actually sold.
I got such a lovely bench for my kids and two wooden wagons for Christmas. Plus little wooden cars. That is one guy I'm going to be phoning for more items. He had a lovely little petrol station as well.
There was fudge, jewellery, chicken live pate (yum!), clothes for kids (bought some, of course), cards, decorations, Christmas cakes and playdough (didn't get any, damn!)
Thanks again to Tracey for inviting me to come display at the market.

Hoping to go to another market soon, which is in Ballito. More to come on that.
Other new things I am wanting to make is using my paper crimper. I did a few things on Friday and pictures are coming soon.

    It was a pleasure, so great to see you again!
    I'm glad you enjoyed it. I heard about another market tonight that's going to be starting soon I think at the German Club which is apparently in Sherwood. It will be on Sundays and tables are R50 but I need to find out more information.

New Fabric!

I went to buy some fabric for an order and came back with much more than I actually needed. So many exciting fabrics. It was so reasonably priced and I just couldn't say no. I've already made so many taglets, and sold some too. I think I might make some crayon rolls as well. I also bought some spongebob and hello kitty, but that's for my little ones.

Nappy cakes - Great gift for a new mom!

Nappy cakes are fantastic gifts for a new mom. The nappies are formed in such a way that they resemble a cake. They can be as simple as nappies with a beautiful bow or as extravagant as nappies, blankets, baby shoes, Taglets and much more. So, if you need a gift for a new mom, this is an unique idea. Each nappy cake is personalised according to your budget and theme. Look at the pictures below for a few ideas.
