Craftin' like crazy!

Oh my gosh I've been so busy lately. I've been building up heaps of stock for the BrisStyle Indie Designers Market which is on this coming Saturday! I can't believe it's rolled around this quickly and as usual I'm nervous and excited all at the same time.

Anyways...here's a peak at some new rings incorporating some artwork I've done recently. I love the way they've turned out....here's hoping other people do to!

(underwater love, little red and the birdies told me - art rings)

I've been working Suzy Scroll-saw overtime this week cutting a heap of little frames and other shapes to make brooches. The frames are made out of some gorgeous old red cedar scraps. Very nice indeed! I'll be giving them a coat of varnish tomorrow so there'll be a sneak peek of these in the next couple of days.

My boys have been helping too! Littlest boy has been very busy painting stuff which he says is all for my 'market shop' whilst biggest boy has been building up his 'stuff for market'. He makes robots out of lego and puts them on the shelf. Sometimes we even take pictures of them!

I'm off to stuff a few extra Cuddlebots and skittles.....just in case!!

Oh Sam. Those rings are amazing. And how lovely to pass on your creativity and business savvy to your little man!

Sam, the rings are fantabulous!!!

I have to giggle at the boys' market preparations. The other weekend when Moo was at the market with me, she came home and set up her own little market stall. http://www.flickr.com/photos/sarabean/4121917206/ I think she needs a bit of help with the merchandising, but you can see she is highly influenced by her surroundings...dunno what that pony is doing on the stall. It's plastic and doesn't belong with the Steiner toys. LOL

I'm sure you are going to do splendidly at the BIDM. :)

Those rings are gorgeous! I'm still hoping to get one of your fabulous frame brooches! Luckily I believe your stall is just across from mine on Saturday so I hope to grab one before they sell out, which I'm sure they will!

Gorgeous that the boys are helping :)

Oh, aren't you luck to have such willing helpers - do you hire them out? Could sure use an extra pair of hands right now. Looking forward to catching up on Saturday!
