Had an accident...

Ok well the bike ride went all fine and dandy but then just over 2 weeks ago I decided to go and snap a major ligament in my knee playing hockey...hello knee reconstruction how are you today?

Yeah I know, sport = injuries, but not always! And now I have to sit around which is fine for a time but then TV starts to get boring and the reality of the reckless cookie eating and lack of ability to exercise kicks in...sad face.

This may mean that I will blog more, it might also mean that I become particularly slack on this side of things because I'm now about 3 weeks behind at uni and freaking out about it!

On the plus side we still managed to hit the Red Hill Fair with our wares and have loads of fun, many a steak sandwich, brownies and coffees and perhaps a wee bit too much sun. But with the lovely day and the stray baby goats and sheep wandering the park when we arrived to set up it was a pretty awesome day, despite the crutches and leg brace!

{photos are coming, of the fair, not the knee!}

{play safe xx}

Well hello nanna!

It was my day off and i'm treasuring those days off as uni goes back all too soon! However, this one was spent sewing and pinning, ironing, baking and generally being a wee bit suzie homemaker.

Working on finishing the vintage cushions and testing out covering gift cards with vintage fabric whilst vanilla butter cookies bake and cher is rollin' with the homies on tv {clueless, in case you were clue less...}.

 vintage fabric covered gift cards...they're a work in progress.

 it doesn't look organised but I know where everything is..

all packed and ready to go!

Don't you know, things will change, if you go your way?

Can you hold on for one more daaaay?

So today I slept in, for the third day in a row {i know, i know, lazy lazy!} but then hit the cinema for the first time in probably 2 months and saw Bridesmaids. Now I realise that I'm probably a little late getting on this bandwagon but OH MY GOD! I have not laughed in a movie that much in I can't remember how long! Seriously my cousin and were pretty much rolling down the aisles with laughter, I might have the beginnings of a six pack just from the laughing I swear.

To top it all off probably one of my most favourite songs ever featured in a HUGE way, so good!

Anyway, when I got home I was all pumped from the movie and the music and the cupcakes and the coffee and the frozen cokes so I sat my self down in front of the sewing machine which is what I've been meaning to do teh WHOLE of the past three days off and actually made the first of the many vintage fabric cushions I have planned for the up and coming Red Hill Fair {July 30th!}.

First time I've ever put a zipper in anything and I don't have tickets on myself or anything but I am an actual genius! See for yourself!

Ta Daa!

Anyway, like I said, the first of many. All vintage, including the zipper!

I also finished off another button necklace creation, this time in green! What do you think?

I cannot wait for the fair, more on that in my next post!

Red Hill Fair

Hi everyone!

Just a quick note to ask if anyone is keen to have a stall with me {or you can have your own if you are SUPER keen!} at this years Red Hill Fair?

It will be held on the last saturday in July which is the 30th of July and is always held in Woolcock park on the border of Red Hill and Ashgrove in Brisbane.

I know last year a whole crew from Bris-style were a part of the festivities and the organisers are really interested in having more handmadies, crafties and vintagies there this year too.

Please let me know asap if you're interested. It's always super fun and there's the usual cake stall, face painting, silent auctions, jumping castle, barnyard animals, hamburgers, fairyfloss, the whole bit!

The cost is $80 per stall which is why I was looking for a partner in crime, and also a partner in splitting the $80! To be honest I think if we make it look cute and fun we'll make that back easily!

I'm in the know and have insider info {having gone to this kindy as a wee one and my mum teaches there it's alllll good} so come on guys, get on board!

or here for the link to the website for last years fair to see who else was on board.

Hope to hear from you soon,
