The Long and the Short Of It.

I promise not to scare you with actual photos but I just had a funny thought. My legs are a perfect example of how is week is running. We are just out the door to the doctors after my 4th load of washing (2 to go). I just threw on a pair of shorts and noticed I have only finished 2/3rd of shaving one leg!

Ghastly Gastro Gouls

Sorry about the lack of transmission... Now let's see, what have we been up to? Well, let's start at the market...it didn't happen. The night before, I got a txt saying that it was produce only. Oh well. It sucked but 'C'est la vie.' This week we have been up to our elbows in washing, disinfectant, buckets and that lovely aroma of Glen 20. I have never had the experience that is 'gastro' before and I sincerely hope to never again have the beastly monster cross my threshold. Auggghh! We have had our best day today in 6 so hopefully it has passed. Paul was the lucky one who missed out. But not so lucky to nurse the other 3 of us all at once. May your week be a good week and your homes smell like roses...unlike ours.

Ready to Rock

If anyone is in Ocean Grove this Saturday check out the Farmers Market.

"Held in Ocean Grove Park in the centre of the town, but providing plenty of safe space for children, the market is perfect for a relaxing Saturday morning of healthy shopping and catching up with friends for brunch in the park..." Bellarine Times.

I will be on the Rocksalt Catering stall.

Check them out here.

'Kitch'enalia

 Well here is a quick preview of  some of the things I

will have in my stall...

Pot holders/doilies.

Tea Cosies. 

Aprons.

I am not making huge quantities of each until I know there is a market for them all.

My theme seems to be as kitch and frilly as possible.

I want it to be fun.

And I wish someone else hadn't already registered the name Kitchenalia.

Rag Rug Rage

It's something I have wanted to make ever since I saw Amanda Lisa's.

 Isn't it fortuitous how the world provides. I think therefore I can (?!)

 Jodie from Ric Rac has jumped on the bandwagon and has started a Rag-a-long apparently it is all the go. 

This is what I achieved in about 1 1/2 hours last night. 

Including watching this tutorial

Toothbrush Rugs Instructions

The cutting up of old t-shirts etc. into 1'' strips can be a bit tedious as the stretchy fabrics don't tear neatly.

 Ripping old table cloths and pillow cases however is thorough therapeutic! 

Anyone want to join the Rag-a-long?
