Today is one year since Flibbertigibbet and Goosey Gander had our first market stall...... so Happy Birthday to us!
It's been a wonderful year, and we have had such fun designing products and getting out and about at markets.
It's been a busy year too, as my baby has grown into a toddler, and I've returned to work from maternity leave.
I'll be taking a break from markets for the next few months while I build my stock levels back up and get started on patterns for my summer range. My next market will be Handmade in Bloom on Saturday 11 September. I've still got stock at Shop Handmade, and am happy to take custom orders, between now and September.

Market Madness
Wow! The Winter Warmer Handmade Market was wonderful!!! Canberra pulled out its finest winter day, the sun shone down on us, and we had a lovely time chatting to customers, eating yummy cupcakes and popcorn, and doing a bit of shopping when the crowds finally died down.
My stock levels are looking very low, so I've been hunkered down at the machine trying to get more sewn for the Old Bus Depot "Kids in the Shed" market this Sunday, as well as catch up on orders from Handmade, and attempt to restock my rack at Shop Handmade (Mr Hen Pecked dropped off some long sleeve tops today).
So it's back to the sewing machine for now....
Flib and I will be at Old Bus Depot Markets this Sunday, 20 June, from 10am until 4pm. I'll be taking a break from markets for a few months after this one, to catch my breath, and get started on my summer range.

Fun and Funky
These cute long-sleeved tops are sure to brighten up a winters day. Featuring cute owls, funky scooters and groovy guitars, they are available for $15 in sizes from 000 to 2. Limited numbers, so get in quick!
Pretty in Pink
Since having Miss Goosey 18 months ago, I still can't get enough pink. And it seems I'm not the only one, as my pink dresses are always my best sellers. So to satisfy the masses, here are two new designs feature a soft denim with pink trim. 
"Songbird"
"From Russia with Love"

One more sleep!
Only one more sleep until the Winter Warmer Handmade Market!
The Market will be held at the Kamberra Wine Company from 10am until 4pm. Flibbertigibbet and I will have an outdoor stall, so I'm hoping that we have some lovely sunshine (or failing that, at least no rain!). The market will go ahead rain, hail or shine, so rug up in your winter woolies and come and visit.
I'll have two new pinafore designs for this market, as well as some funky appliqued tops for boys. I was hoping to have a post with lots of photos of my new designs, but although the sewing machine has been running hot, I haven't managed to take any photos yet. But I'm home from work today with a sick Gander and a sick Miss Goosey, so perhaps I might just have time to get some photos taken afterall.....

Tess Anthony Photography
Goosey Gander and Flibbertigibbet had a photo shoot with Tess Anthony Photograpy on Monday. You can see a sneak peek of Tess's gorgeous photos on her Facebook page, but I've posted one of The Gander and one of Miss Goosey below.
Tess has recently started her photography business in Canberra, specialising in babies, children and families. We've had two sessions with her now, and have been very impressed with her work. The Gander and Miss Goosey just love exploring the Australian National Botanic Gardens while Tess follows them round with her camera, and the result is some beautiful, natural, portraits of the children.
Tess is having a special deal at the moment:
$70- includes session fee, and a disk of low resolution images.
$130 – includes session fee, and a disk of high resolution images
$130 – includes session fee, and a disk of high resolution images
Yep, that's right, a whole CD of images to print or email to friends and family!
Thanks Tess - we love your work!

A Celebration of Wool
The Old Bus Depot Markets will be holding their annual "A Celebration of Wool" market this Sunday 16 May.
Products on display will include handfelted garments and accessories; designer knitwear; millinery; weavings; funky beanies; and farm label knitwear. If you are into knitting there will also be a fantastic range of specialist yarns. Regional Guilds provide demonstrations of hand spinning, hand felting, and other traditional wool based crafts.
Check out the Old Bus Depot Markets website for more information.
It sounds like it will be a wonderful day, and I'm disapointed that we will be away this weekend, and won't be able to attend. I've had an obsession with baby hats since before I was even pregnant with The Gander, and I can never resist a cute knitted beanie!
And speaking of beanies, local business MissChief Maker, located at Rodney's Nursery in Pialligo, is running a Babies in Beanies competition. The competition is open to 0-5 year olds. Entry is $30 which goes directly to Newborn Intensive Care Foundation. MissChief Maker have a gorgeous range of new, handmade and vintage children's wear, so if you haven't already, then stop by and have a look next time you are in Pialligo.
