Pictures of life
We had our Made Fair Markets on Saturday, as well as the opening of the I Heart Kirribilli Art Exhibition, plus the newly renovated church. It was a great day! Here are some pictures from my phone, such as they are.
My little stash of goods, only my sign has fallen down already and I haven't dressed my mannequin yet.
Sausage sizzle and live music. I believe we gave away about 1,000 cupcakes too.
Goods from Seven Women, in Nepal.
One of the kids tatooed me. A wee bit messy for this perfectionist, but you have to let kids do what they do don't you.
I was there early to set up, and after standing around in the sun all day, then ending it by having a coffee with someone who'd told they'd decided church was not for them right now (sniff!), I was so tired I went home and fell asleep on the couch.
Today I had to be in the city for a recertification course of my first aid certificate for work. So I spent the day having my head filled with first aid scenarios and procedures before doing the theory and practical exam. Then, because I was nearby, I had to go to Abbey's bookshop and Morris and Sons to drool over yarns didn't I? I never usually buy anything in Morris and Sons, because I happen to think it is outrageously expensive, but a lady was sorting things into a bargain basket and I picked up these nice cottons, for such things as crochet flowers.
The purple and cream on the far left is actually a cashmere blend wool, and the pinks on the right are an Italian cotton. The picture doesn't do justice to the top pink, which is a little too hot and loud for my liking, but I shall find something to do with it. And they silvery blue colour is a lovely silk blend that I shall set aside for something special.
