Well, that's two Fox Studio markets i've missed because of the rainy weather.....
So i'm putting into action something i've been putting off, and that's the expansion of my Online Shop!
Bigger, better and you can shop in any weather.
What could be better than a little online shop while the rain pours, so keep tuned new quilts, cushions and more are in production especially for the online shop. Stuff that you can't see at the market!
My favourite time of year is here at last! I love the lights, the music, the food and especially the tree decorations. Here's some of the little cuties i will have for the 3 great christmas markets i will be doing in december. Allie's Attic at Paddington Town Hall is the first one next Saturday 12th December, so get in early as i only have a limited number made up. My hands and poor little machine are looking forward to a rest....
Little drummer boys will be available too. Remember the Matryoshka and Drummer Boy Softie Dolls, beautiful fabric designed by Sydney's own Kristen Doran? Well, these are their baby brothers and sisters.
Also at Kirribilli Art&Design sunday 13th dec + Fox Studios EQ Market sunday 20th dec
Handmade Christmas Cards - new ones being created all the time!
I've just made up some new cotton softie dolls - really cute robots from Kristen Doran. They come in blue too, but i just had to take a quick snap of the red ones first. Come see them at Kirribilli Art & Design Market this Sunday.
Sunday 5th July at Mathilda's Market in Lane Cove was a great first market experience. It was very reassuring to have some other first timers around me. Once the doors opened it wasn't long before i made my first sale of a Softy Toy Owl and it kept steadily going from there.
The Softy Toys were a big success. I'll definitely need more for next time
The old wooden ladder i found worked out perfectly for displaying the quilts
I've got my first market coming up on Sunday 5th july, from 9am to 1pm at Mathilda's Market, St Ignatius College Riverview, Tambourine Bay Rd, Lane Cove. Here's some photos of what i'll be selling - handmade kid's quilts, cushions in super cute fabrics from Japan, handsewn lampshades with gorgeous felt applique from Germany, lovely softie dolls from Saffron Craig and Kristen Doran designs and handprinted gift cards.
The hand stitching detail is small, but a fun addition to a cute design.
SEE SOMETHING YOU LIKE? but can't get to a market...
If you see something on my blog, flickr photo gallery or at a market that you would like to buy. Send me an email and we can arrange payment, postage/or pick up if in the local area. I'll post to anywhere, as long as it will get there in one piece - lampshades might be difficult.
Thingk Baby International creates a range of handmade patchwork quilts, cushions, lampshades and soft dolls for children. I love fabric, so I’ve searched far and wide to get fabulous cotton, linen and hemp blends for my creations. Super cute designs from Japan mix with gorgeous felt from Germany. Each quilt is an original design, a personal treasure. Being friendly to the environment is always on my mind, using organic eco-friendly bamboo batting in quilts. Hand stitching is a feature of lampshades and non-toxic glue used where needed. Cushion fabric designs are also highlighted with hand stitching.
