What are you doing on saturday? If you have any free time, pop along to the Northside marker's market. There's loads of crafty stalls, yummy food and even massages!

I'll be selling Polka Dot Rabbit goodies (including some new products not available elsewhere) as well as a wide range of materials, buttons and vintage crafty ephemera that I no longer use (decluttering the craft room)!
Would love to see you there, please come up and say hello!

I've been working on lots of crafty things in time for Christmas markets. I also thought I need to make some new bits and pieces for my website. I haven't got them all up yet, but here's some new badge sets I've put up in my little shop, hope you like them :)

I was honoured to attend the viewing the Red Quilt Project. The quilt is just simply stunning!






I am totally honoured to be part of it and it was a wonderful opportunity to meet some amazing crafty people at the gorgeous Abbotsford Convent.


Chris and I have been quite busy with Green Renters, with an article in the current edition of Frankie Magazine and chairing a workshop yesterday at the Green Deal Conference.

I've send off a consignment order of coasters, cassette wallets and comic wallets to the awesome Reverse Garbage in Marrickville Sydney. Hopefully they are well received!

A couple of things I've bought recently from the V&A website:




Been a bit unwell but getting there....Next month I am participating in Animal Liberation's Vegan Easy Challenge. You can follow my progress on our Green Renter's blog.

I'm also looking forward to Northside Maker's and Thread Den markets nearing Christmas!

I'm totally going to make one of these necklaces!



How lovely is this room?



My experience with owning bunnies is that there's no way an icecream would stay long on their head, it would be eaten in seconds!



German flashcards. I bought these as I'm learning German!

I want to be sitting in this room with this bag.



I'm a sucker for art deco prints like this one...



I'm actually rather scared of Ikea. All those people and children everywhere and signs and paths directing you around the store.... I might have to make a quick dash for these glasses. Just had a look on the site, they don't seem to be stocking them in Australia. Argh....

The Melbourne International Arts Festival is on. Last night Chris and I went to see a couple of exhibitions:


Blindside was about turning an artists working space high up in the Nicholas Building into a into a useable living room, a ‘total work of art’. We loved this bed surrounded by speakers and also the big dome tent in the middle of the room which was filled with dirt and planted succulents. You should definitely check it out!

It was really stormy weather as you can see from the view from the window:



We then went to see Kat Mcleod's amazing work at Lamington Drive. So much talent (and most works were already sold when we got there!)
Here's one of her prints:

Chris and I were filmed last weekend in our 'creative spaces'. You can view the photographs at Fed Square this weekend as part of The Living Room exhibition.

Purchased on Ebay for $36!

I don't clothing very often as I find it all rather exhausting and often I have a good idea of what I want but can't find it.

I might wear this to a wedding at the end of the month, paired with red cardi, red fish nets, red t bar mary janes and one of my handmade red orange and yellow hair pieces.

If the weather is really miserable, I have a lovely vintage dress I bought in Brooklyn, NY.
