Hey peeps!
Once again I am sick with a cold, sinus, cough type of thing. Fingers crossed it doesn't get as bad as last time as I would really prefer to stay off the antibiotics if possible. Hate that stuff.
Anyways, I got to use my tote on the weekend!!! Cobbity markets were on and of course I went out there to have a look even though I didn't really want or need anything. My bag was great!!! I had it sitting on my arm most of the time and I totally forgot it was there. Sometimes I had to even check I still had it and didn't drop it somewhere haha. So while I only got a little bit of lace and a choccie brownie at Cobbity it was still a great debut by my first tote.
Actually I do lie. I did get someone else but it was in a separate bag so it didn't squish everything. I got this awesome stand...thing. I thought it would come in handy when doing another market stall. I'm not sure what for exactly but I'll work out something. Plus it was at a bargain basement price of.....*drum roll*......$1.00!!!
I don't think there is any risk of me using it for food. I suppose people would normally use it for cakes or nuts or lollies or something??? But since someone has painted over it then I dare say it may not be too safe or hygienic to be dishing up sweets on it.
Last but not least is this little dude. I have been working on this pattern for the last couple of weeks and it's a lot harder designing something on the computer then bloody hand drawing it! I am hoping to make a dog and cat range but I need to design the kitties nose since I couldn't get the right shape on the computer. I think I'll be calling the dog range 'Woofers' to go along the same lines of my Hooties.
Hope everyone had a great week!!

Hiya!
It seems to me that trying to do the weekly blog update doesn't seem to be happening at the moment. I suppose aiming for every 2 weeks isn't too bad then...right?
Anyways I have something new coming to BB! I've had this little idea floating around for only a short time and I'm surprised I actually went and got my supplies so quickly to make them! I must be egar.
So hopefully BB will soon be offering Library/Dancing/Shopping/Anything tote bags! The first one I made I actually cut the handles a little too short to fit over a child shoulder but a little too long for child length carry handles. SOOOOO I just had to turn it into a bag for me....what...a...shame.
Here it is! I just need to go somewhere so I can take it and use it. I dare say it'll be getting a run at the next markets I go to!
Here are two hootie designs. I haven't made the new handles which are longer so these two are staying unfinished for now.
I have a couple of designs for these floating around in my head. Space. Sky. Ballet and some very cute bunting. I think I want to make a purple hootie bag too.
Some other good news is that I am taking part is Collaborate for a Cause 2013! I did the first one in 2011 and it was quite fun but last year I was a little too busy to be able to put the effort into a piece. Although I am still just as busy I feel like I can make time to make an effort this year. PLUS my partner in crime is Melissa from Chubby Cheeks!! She does the most cute little dresses and harem pants. We are thinking we might actually submit two different lots of items and our charity is going to the ICU at The Alfred. I got to choose my charity this time so I wanted to work for someone elses this time.
If you've got a bit of time pop on over and read this blog post about the creator of Collaborate for a Cause. CLICK HERE.
Hope everyone has a great weekend!!
