Extra market at Nagambie Lakes..

..tomorrow starting at 10am to 3pm.
Follow on Sunday with Mooroopna Farmers and Craft Market.
It has been busy with days out but hopefully I till have a good compliment of yarns, garments and accessories.

This week is busy but..

...not with crafting.
Tired after 2 markets, with the Sunday being a very long day starting at 4am and getting home at 6pm.
I have been spinning, and have started a beret combining commercial and handspun yarns.
In the meantime, I have 2 trips to Shepparton for Leigh's eye appointments to laser seal the detaching retina which was separating in 6 places. Nasty!
Also, a trip to Echuca to take some dyes to a customer, get a little shopping for my daughter whose youngest child who has been very ill with a chest infection this past week. Then visit my parents and see how my father is faring after his bout with pneumonia.
Whew! I look forward to next week with a trip to see Miss Fisher's fashion garments at Ripponlea on Wednesday, and my birthday on Tuesday.
Girgarre market is on this Sunday so hopefully get a few more items ready over the next couple of days.

Nagambie Market and Castlemaine Artits Market ....

This will be a big weekend for me, with 2 markets.
Saturday is my regular Market at Nagambie Lakes in my usual spot.
Castlemaine Artists Market on Sunday at the Castlemaine Primary School, cnr Uruqhart and Mostyn sts is a new one for me.
I will feel like a beginner, so worried about the amount of stock I have. Have been working on rebuilding stock levels, but all my projects do take time.
Attended a Fashion Parade and dinner put on by the Machine Knitter's Association on Wednesday night, so have some new inspirations to think about.

Have just..

...updated the website, with a few changes and some new items, mostly handmade.
Have more items to add yet, but time for a break and head out to shop for groceries.

So, in a couple of weeks..

..I will be at Nagambie Lakes Community Market on the Saturday, Sep 5th, and a new, for me, Castlemaine Artists Market on the Sunday, Sept 6th.
So I have been busy spinning, and working on the knitting machine, and the knitter's loom.
Need to get more cardigans and jumpers done as well as beanies and scarves.
Sunday is Father's Day, so good for those last minute handmade gifts. Below is a selection of items ready to go. More on the way.

Girgarre Farmers and Craft Market..

..is on again tomorrow from 8.30am to 12.00pm or a little later.
Shopping for your special yarn in the Yarn Van makes it easier, while handmade items are displayed outside under the awning.

Along with my own hand dyed yarns, you will find hand dyed tops, scarves, beanies, and an assortment of other items, all made from the Natural Fibre Wool

Nagambie Lakes Community Market..
