xxxxxx    Lest We Forget xxxxxx
May we all remeber those brave soldiers who fought  for their country so many years ago. Also thinking of our Australian soldiers in service today.


I have so many items on my agenda for the next few days weeks, I never know where to start . So I though if I list some here at least I can come back and maybe tick them off or say completed.

I have been given a last minute stall at the 3847 Makers market in Rosedale on Sunday

, so I need some stock as my stock is low atm. I have 4 Maddie pinnys almost finished but I also need to do some skirts and was hoping to do Marissa dreses and more Icy-Pole cosies. Maybe some late nights ahead.
Of course when I seem to have markets coming up , I am also needed to relief milk so yesterday and today I have to Milk which fills in a whole afternoon.

I also have to get to Bairnsdale  The stables to sign some paperwork for my Mini Makery  Cube . even though its not a long drive its a matter of fitting it into the schedule of appoitments for the kids.

To top it off I have custom orders that I need to finish !!!

all that while being a great supermum and Fiance !

Phew no wonder I am tired .

Yay , I finished my top yesterday very pleased with myself but I am also very harsh on myself . I have always had self confidence issues all my life . So here goes the Miss Mod Top , I made the XL size 16-18 which is pretty right for size as I average a 16. My first intention was to wear it without a sash but after popping it on I decided to use the sash . I think it looks so much better.





I will be busy today , a local market has had a stall cancelation so I was next on the list so YAY I now have a market todo on sunday, downfall is I have little to no stock so I will need to make up a few Maddy Pinnys and pleated skirts before then. 
Bets on how many I can get done?

Oh I have just been informed I also have to milk the next 2 nights arghhhhhhhh , well I better run or I will get   nothing done .

Well I made it back today :) I had a wonderful day cleaning yesterday and the sewing area is now nice and clean , alas I did not get to make my top . So it is first on my agenda today !

I have just finished the cleaning , a load of washing and sending out invoices for the customs I am going to start today.
Though I may have not made my top yesterday I found many U.F.O's so I decided I would finish one and here is the end result.

I will be back later today with my finished top , but on a happy note I will leave another reason why I love living on the farm so much . Fresh Eggs !!!


Toodle loo for no Jo

It has been a while, but fingers crossed I can keep my blogging up as well as sew, be a mum a partner, cleaner, referee, confidant etc etc as all mums do.

We have moved since I last wrote to a lovely (old) farmhouse, not much room to swing a cat but we love it to pieces so quiet and peaceful ! I mean who would not love to wake to these lovely creatures in the morning.

All the while moving , I have come to the realisation that I have WAY to much stuff so am starting a new page called Bits and Bobs over on Facebook land to help declutter a lot of sewing haberdashery I have.

Feel free to pop over and Like , my first items will be up for sale monday the 23rd of April.

Today I have planned to have a tidy of the sewing area as I have quite a few customs I need to start on Monday .
So here is my before pic for you all taken late yesterday afternoon, I will be back to post a after pic once it is finished.



It is 8.35am here in Victoria and would you believe all my family is still sound asleep and I am sitting here sipping a cuppa, I have already unpacked and restacked dishwasher, done a load of washing, fed the chooks, collected the googly eggs , let out the dogs and swept the floors , all the while glancing out my windows and thinking how lucky am I . 


From me to you , till next time <3 Jo
