my creative space- eco ornaments for market

 This week I have been a making machine. After last week at the Kris Kringle market where all the recycled jumper ornaments sold out, I thought I should make some more....and then went a bit overboard. And in the fickle world of market stalls, who knows if they will sell? Here's a selection...

Recycled jumper birds and hearts.....I made heaps of these!

Recycled jumper felt with machine stitching....but now I've run out of red thread....maybe some red with white stitching next?

Only one lucky reindeer....he was a bit fiddly....

And some Mexicana style....
I should note that I have made all of these from thrifted or recycled everything.

In the fickle world of markets, this week I may not sell any. But I'll happily deck my tree out with these Mexican ones.

My Creative Space: tassels

It's all about the tassels here in my creative space today.
But now it's time to get ready for the Kris Kringle Night Market at the Northcote Town Hall. Yes.  I know it's VERY hot in Melbourne today. But hopefully some people will still be wandering in later in the evening!
Check out some more creative spaces here. 

Markets!

Well I can't say enough good things about the Maribyrnong Makers Market! But here's a start.
Well organised! Gorgeous location! Friendly! Cute! Warm! Fun! Social! Pleasant! Wonderful volunteers! Fantastic stalls! Wonderful people!
PLUS a sunny warm day MINUS my children EQUALS I had a ball!

The sister outlaws were nestled in the "secret garden" with Erin from Bev and Barney who made the most gorgeous bunting and quilts and bags and Nicole from Merry Go Round Handmade who makes fantastic aprons from vintage tea towels and cards and bunting.

I also had a quick catch up with fellow jumper-felter-recycler, the ever lovely Ms. Morgan Wills from the Crafty Squirrel.

The outlaws sold many a gingerbread man, turtle dove and reindeer kit and all of my neon hexie necklaces too...and a few other things along the way...

So now I'd better get on with re-stocking because Thursday night we will be at this market - The Kris Kringle Night Markets at the Northcote Town Hall. Can't wait!
