Stocking up my Etsy

It seems like ages since my last post. I've been busy making things for my Etsy store and last weekend's festival. The weather was terrible keeping many people away so sales were down. I had a wonderful day all the same and had some very enthusiastic ladies attend my demonstrations, they see junk in a whole new light.
We have been suffering from a terrible drought for around ten years, but it has definitely broken now with floods across most parts of Victoria. We live in the hills so we have been very lucky, our garden looks like a tropical paradise, everything is so lush and huge.

This is one of my felted brooches. It's so hard to get the right colour in the photos. The main colour is teal/turquoise with a purple around the edges. They look great on black too. They can also be used as pin cushions, if you pin them to the sleeve of your jumper when sewing.

This one is a purple mix with a magenta purple centre, the colours are reasonably close in this one.

They are both available on my Etsy store. I'll be adding more jewellery, journals and stamps in the next few days. It takes so long to photograph everything, especially as it's dark when I get home from work, so the lighting isn't good.

A couple of weeks ago I couldn't resist buying this gorgeous little treasure from Denise's etsy store, it has so much personality. Denise has quite a collection of them happening.

Mine's the one on the left.

and this is the back. They are such a great bargain and so cute.

Also did you know Nina's coming to Australia and New Zealand again. She will be teaching workshops in WA and in New Zealand, here's the link for details.
