Double Market Weekend!

Hello!!! This week I have been super busy getting ready for the two markets that Selkie Smith Design will be at this weekend! Some people call me crazy…lol…

On Saturday I will be at Allie’s Attic at Cronulla Leagues from 10-2 and on Sunday I will be at Poppyseed Markets at Ador Ave Rockdale from 10-3.. check the exact details on the right side bar.

This time I will have some Saffron Craig Porkiepie Satchels in stock as well as my standard fare of Large Totes, Yorkiepies, Caitycoos, Memo and Hairclips Boards, and a few other bits and pieces.

Apologies for my madeit shop looking a bit bare, as I haven’t listed anything due to the amount of markets that i’m doing! But I hope to list more shortly, and Mr Selkie Smith is working on a website for me, so hopefully we will have that up and running in September! Just in time for Christmas orders : )

Ok that’s me done, I need to get back on the machine.

Take care,

Selkie

2010 Craft Trade Show and Magnolia Square

Hello Everyone, I can only seem to manage one post a month at the moment..terrible!!!

I have been busy as usual making market stock for some upcoming markets. I have 6 markets over the next month and a half…(insert an eye bulging smiley here!)

A couple of weeks ago my friend Margie and I braved the floods and checked out Magnolia Square at Randwick. It was great to finally meet face to face the lovely Helen from Ensparkle Ceramics. She makes some absolutely fabulous plate, bowls, tumbler, cake stands, and they can be personalised.. I bought this cute tumbler. I love the colours in it… There was also the talented artist Nikki, who has been featured in Frankie..check out her website!

Ok last weekend me and my tree went down to the 2010 Craft Trade show at Rosehill. After months of emails back and forth it was a pleasure to meet Saffron Craig face to face. She had a booth at the fair, and it looked absolutely fabulous. It was the best one there hands down! My tree looked fab laden with creations from both myself and others. I also met the talented Kate Conklin of Kate Conklin Designs who makes beautiful quilts (see below) and quilt patterns. Also on show was a beautiful quilt by Tamara St Remy from Bernina Patch. It was magnificent.

I also made a few trade orders as I have made the decision to sell fabrics as well as my creations. I have ordered a couple of bolts from the new Patty Young range “Playdate” and also ordered some of the beautiful Alexander Henry Willow range.

Ok must go, it’s Mummy and Daughter day here..have a great day, week, month..ok I hope to post more regularly…teehee..

Collaborating with Saffron Craig

Hiya,

I can't believe its May already...this year is flying by, and this is the month for birthdays! My Dad, Mum, Brother, Daughter, Sister in Law, and I all are born in May...busy busy....

But thats not what i'm actually going to talk about today. I'm very excited because I have finished all the bags for the collaboration with Saffron Craig, and now I can proudly say they are up on her website http://www.saffroncraig.com/.. I made some of my standard bags, a tote, Porkiepie satchel and a Yorkiepie satchel, but with Saffron's fabrics they look absolutely gorgeous!! I also made a Hobo shoulder bag with her Birds in Leaves - Black and a Market Bag in her Aqua Elk Landscape. I'm very happy with how these turned out and even happier that Saffron loves her bags! I will look to releasing the Hobo in September and the Market Bag early August. As you know I love using one print, so it was out of my comfort zone for me to use the panels for the Birds in Leaves Tote, but i'm happy with the outcome, so I will definately look at making this design again.

I will load up some pics that Saffron has kindly given to me, she has done a terrific job of the pictures on her website..

Also check out her blog..for my first (and possibly only..lol.) interview! Saffrons's Blog

Ok I must get going as I have Poppyseed Markets in two weeks I have to sew like the wind!!!
