So many hurdles - too many for me to get over right now.<br />
<br />
This is my last post from this blog. BUT, this is not my last post!<br />
<br />
My new venture is in ladies clothing under my label 'CosyCosy' and you can find me at my<a href="http://www.cosytimestwo.blogspot.com/"> new blog </a>from here in.<br />
<br />
The market has been an amazing ride. I've met so many wonderful people and I count myself so blessed for having been introduced to them!<br />
<br />

<br />
For months I have been tucked away, snugly enjoying my quiet life in the country.<br />
<br />
But today, something awakened within me. I don't know if it was my anticipation of my visit to Niche, the gorgeous, sunny day or just a general feeling of wellbeing deep within. Possibly all three.<br />
<br />
I woke up and decided it was time. I have that itching, gnawing feeling and I can't make it go away. Time to seriously get market venue negotiating and find a date. Maybe even a Christmas market??Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118040522848521462noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854616722154944357.post-38328371777062041272010-05-22T04:25:00.000-07:002010-05-22T04:25:01.856-07:00A change is in the air...<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5shyphenhyphenCtI4HHtk2lU6dU1Tu0a9e2VYbJk1jAeqPgNC4h20qcGuDR55VA5NpBkBnCPEWod5sWDGwrg58iXJTYFdW8mqqzUmvhKoKPplX9pHb8Pe7AEBIuH4W-V67DmJWoYY1DEfnLfOu2XWA/s1600/change.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5shyphenhyphenCtI4HHtk2lU6dU1Tu0a9e2VYbJk1jAeqPgNC4h20qcGuDR55VA5NpBkBnCPEWod5sWDGwrg58iXJTYFdW8mqqzUmvhKoKPplX9pHb8Pe7AEBIuH4W-V67DmJWoYY1DEfnLfOu2XWA/s320/change.jpg" /></a></div><br />
<br />
I'm thinking that some of you might believe that I am addicted to change. And maybe you're right...<br />
<br />
I am a strong believer that if something is not the way you want it to be, you keep making changes until it is.<br />
<br />
Lots of changes for Homespun this week. As if moving house and going back to work wasn't enough. Now Homespun is in the firing line.<br />

PS. Market tomorrow!So its already Friday and feels like the last market was yesterday.<br />
<br />
I hope you will please excuse my terrible lack of blogging and this terribly short blog that doesn't include tomorrow's stallholders.<br />
<br />
All I can say is time is my enemy. And that there are 28 magnificent stalls, more new ones, so you must come and have a look.<br />
<br />
See you there!<br />

<i>Look at this gorgeous owl tea cosy that could be a great gift for a mum with everything this mother's day!</i><br />
<br />
Pop into town and over to Homespun at Pilgrim Hall and you will find an absolute treasure trove of gifts, made with care and love especially for your mum.<br />
<br />
You don't need to be loaded either. For under $10 you can find lots of lovely things.<br />
<br />
We have more great new stalls tomorrow including groovy kids stuff and a completely natural probiotic product that is a great replacement for milk for people who don't drink milk. Does that sentence make sense? I'll just put it down to my brains being packed in boxes like the rest of my belongings!<br />
<br />
Here are our wonderful stallholders for tomorrow and a gift idea for mum from each:<br />
<br />

Cheryl's Creations - a warm and one of a kind freefrom knitted vest<br />
Sew & Sow - a beautiful knitted wrap<br />

<br />
Don't be fooled by our shorter list of stallholders, we are quality plus!<br />
<br />
See you tomorrow for your mother's day gift shopping!<br />

I'm sorry I've been a bit quiet of late, we're moving house.<br />
<br />
Going from a newish and large 4 bedroom, 2 bathroom, 2 living area home in semi-suburbia to a little 3 bedroom, 1 bathroom, no dishwasher!! house in the country. 'No dishwasher' just reverbs around my head!<br />
<br />
I'm looking forward to less cleaning and less mess (surely a smaller house will not attract as much clutter as a large house, no?), a simpler lifestyle and a lovely backyard for the kids. And a trampoline.<br />
<br />
I'll miss our neighbours like crazy, we have the best neighbourhood. But we'll be back in a couple of years when Nick is posted back to town again.Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118040522848521462noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854616722154944357.post-21361835175421566542010-04-22T04:40:00.000-07:002010-04-22T04:40:08.083-07:00Massive market on Saturday<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPJqdYE8O8-9hWH1OZ2HsV87lT5nKXRow7oFlbr1mcybyBNvTQK5iaN5_R7RJpIaEDWDrAFYbY8MQ6NejRdiRiins-0ThwvP2Y808iwsFWL30jYmSPHniec5hSqIDKQ-X4EE_Qsca-IIk/s1600/prd_cards2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjHPJqdYE8O8-9hWH1OZ2HsV87lT5nKXRow7oFlbr1mcybyBNvTQK5iaN5_R7RJpIaEDWDrAFYbY8MQ6NejRdiRiins-0ThwvP2Y808iwsFWL30jYmSPHniec5hSqIDKQ-X4EE_Qsca-IIk/s200/prd_cards2.jpg" width="133" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakf8aL7uaTyJlSTCcLKmk_A15BB1r2UYBxq5g9VY4aLelFKkl6m8ghhyphenhyphenYOCqEM0StaPMMf3nWLk9ujVR355UkGJB88hrMdV_ZV47-OMAXM7cXhyphenhyphen5-z30QkkAMKdCSSOHKXqcRrGLe5nBK/s1600/prd_jams2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="200" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgakf8aL7uaTyJlSTCcLKmk_A15BB1r2UYBxq5g9VY4aLelFKkl6m8ghhyphenhyphenYOCqEM0StaPMMf3nWLk9ujVR355UkGJB88hrMdV_ZV47-OMAXM7cXhyphenhyphen5-z30QkkAMKdCSSOHKXqcRrGLe5nBK/s200/prd_jams2.jpg" width="132" /></a></div><br />

<br />
Clarence Point went off today - the people came, and came and came and come...<br />
<br />
Congratulations to Robin and the Point of Women crew for putting on such a fantastic event. There was a lovely range of stalls, great food and masses of people.<br />
<br />
As per usual I didn't get around to taking a photo... sorry...<br />
<br />
Here's to next year!Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118040522848521462noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854616722154944357.post-8262982394592351762010-03-31T14:53:00.000-07:002010-03-31T14:53:58.148-07:00Clarence Point Market Tomorrow"Clarence Point?" I hear you say, "Where the heck is Clarence Point?!"<br />
<br />
Basically its past Beaconsfield on the road to Greens Beach. If you get to Kelso, you've gone too far. About a 35 minute drive out of Launceston. And a picturesque drive too. If you've never been this way down the Tamar, take the scenic routes along Rosevears Drive to Exeter and then through Gravelly Beach and Deviot to the Batman Bridge then back to Beaconsfield. You wont be disappointed! Allow an extra 15 minutes for the scenic route.<br />
<br />
This little market features stallholders from the Tamar Valley. There are about 35 stalls inside and outside at the Clarence Point hall (no directions required, Clarence Point isn't that big!).<br />
<br />
As well as yours truly with her wrap skirts, you will be able to pick up turned timber bowls, childrens' accessories, homemade cakes and bikkies, jewellery, handbags and so much more stuff I have not a clue about.<br />
<br />

<br />
We have Taritta along from <a href="http://www.tillyboo.blogspot.com/">Tilly Boo</a> who makes the most divine little Pillowcase Dresses and the new Bebe Petit Sac (small baby bag) from recycled fabrics.<br />

Now here is a product that tickles my fancy, probably because I have a wee little child who requires nappies and wipes. I had this nappy bag that I dragged everywhere with the first child. Now I have two children and it just doesn't seem right to drag another bag around, so the nappies and wipes just get thrown into my massive, bottomless pit of a handbag.<br />
<br />

<br />
Development Application approved. YES! Whoo-hoo!<br />
<br />
One annoying condition, that we have to reapply again in two years. Can't have it all our way, especially with LCC.<br />

<br />
What an absolute honour to a) chat about handmade on the radio and b) chat about handmade with Francesca who had researched the topic and written for Notebook Magazine! Lucky me!!<br />
<br />
The main focus of the discussion was about the popularity of handmade and how blogs and the internet have opened the doors to the world, taking us out of our traditional local environment and into a global local environment, opening up so many more opportunities for our crafting.<br />
<br />
Francesca was knowledgeable and well spoken on the subject and I just added the Launceston view in relation to our market.<br />
<br />
I am terribly sorry to have not gotten a photo of me in the studio, headphones on, chatting into the microphone... my baby brain forgets these things until I get home...<br />
<br />
Thanks to the ABC and Francesca Newby for a great opportunity to talk about handmade and Homespun!Tamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/04118040522848521462noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3854616722154944357.post-520044711508445452010-02-25T17:28:00.000-08:002010-02-25T17:28:11.993-08:00Journals, art, jewellery, Hideyo at the market tomorrowYou read it right!

Our website has been in need of an overhaul for as long as I can remember!<br />
<br />
And now it lives!<br />
<br />
The website will now be more onsite market focused with a kind of 'round up' from the last market.<br />
<br />
Each fortnight (-ish! 2nd and 4th remember!) the site will be completely redone and if you missed the Saturday market you'll be able to go online and see just exactly what and who you missed out on!<br />
<br />
Hope you enjoy visiting the site regularly to check out our awesome and talented stallholders who do a brilliant job in creating beautiful stuff!<br />

It's raining like crazy at our place. We're back from holidays. The rain was a good note to come home on - I would have felt depressed leaving on a day like yesterday!<br />

So rain, keep coming today and tomorrow and all tomorrow night, and then stop at around 7am on Saturday morning just for 7 or 8 hours... please?<br />

<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Hoot Hoot Skirts - groovy ladies' wrap skirts</span><br />

<br />
Our friend's shack at Greens Beach was unexpectedly vacated and Nick just started 4 weeks of annual leave so we packed up the girls and the dogs and headed off.<br />
<br />
Now there are shacks and there are shacks if you know what I mean. Shacks that are on par or better than your humble abode or shacks that are just that - little shanties.<br />
<br />
The shack we're at is a little shanty, a throw back to the 1970s. I am dying to share some pictures with you!<br />

Aaaahhhhh, we might not come home... for a while anyway.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
