Flowers



I love flowers, who dosen't? I also, love making flowers, or little confections that represent flowers.

These ones are made with vintage fabric scraps, buttons, and kept stiff, with PVA glue and water. I don't want to be to sophisticated with my stuff, and am not motivated to spend money on fancy findings, liking to reuse/recycle, simplify. So the back has a safety pin, and a bobby pin sewn on.

$4 on my Market Stall.

Ha Ha Ha fat butt




I keep an empty tin next to my stove to tip in my cooking fats, Handy; dumps cigarette butts in the garden. Ta Da, Fat Butt tins, little bins - recycling empty tins, and having a laugh.



For sale on my market stall, $3

Off to the Markets


Years and Years ago, in a past life, i did the markets. Handy and i did them when we first got married, but a life with babies wasn't condusive to a market lifestyle for us.

When i do a market stall, i like make everyting, its just so much fun.

I'm doing it because i'm at my happiest making beautiful things, cutting sewing, gluing, laughing at my own jokes.
I'm going to focus on Hats, because I don't think you can buy anything decent, that isn't made in China. I don't want to keep on buying Made in China Stuff. So i'll run with my own little Sweat shop, with me doing all the sweating. These hats are made from my collection of vintage fabric, and I will have another design this week.
I'd like to get $40 each for these hats, at the markets, and when i get it together, in my Etsy store.
