Over the last few weeks, I've been working hard on painting my pegs, pencils and making magnets. I've also been offered some tiny little jugs to decorate by Linda Fountain; they have turned out to be great little things!
My next go at The Creative Markets this year is next month, 23rd, February actually, from 9am until 1pm. I'll have a 2x2m stall this time, as I found a 3x3m stall a little too big for my needs.
Anyway, since my last post, I've gone out and bought a small tressle table, 3mt of Calico and found some fabric I bought a few years ago that I thought would go well as a table cloth. I hemmed up the Calico and am using the lovely, silky Rayon with a lovely red and white pattern on it. I had bought around 3 metres of it then another 2 metres and still didn't buy enough of it to make a skirt and little shawl combo... and by the time I wanted to get more, they didn't make it anymore. So, I was stuck with this fabric; until now.
Now, I have this lovely red and white speckled table cloth. I want to do more and put together a set of shelves for the jugs... but I might just little boxes for them and throw doilies on them instead or some leftover Calico over them and make them look good with the Doilies - now that sounds good!
Anyway, I'm up to my ears in ideas, as you can see, and there's still a few weeks to go until the Creative Markets at Springwood State School. And this time, I'm more relaxed about it as I know what to expect from them, I know what's expected out of me, and I know how to work my wares as well. The best thing is that I'll have a smaller stall and it'll be more enjoyable for me, and I'll be able to keep an eye on everything better too.
So, there you have it: less than a month out from the Creative Markets, and I'm working out even more ideas than I know what to do with! But I'm loving how this is all going. So, how's your creative processes going? Is your creative world in a great spin? Or are you working on something great? Do tell! Until my next post, keep creating!
