We Are Moving.

For the last 18 months I have met the most amazing people here at The Old Dairy.

Coffee groups have come and enjoyed the garden and food, we even made the local news.

Being interviewed by Win news.

With my youngest daughter getting married and moving away, I am going to need the time to travel to visit my family. 3 of my 4 daughters live away and also my eldest son.

My Family

Sometimes things need to change and closing the shop is one of those changes.

Every thing else will stay the same.

I am still going to do the markets and sell all the same quality goods I had at the Dairy.

I will continue to stock the Trap-Art yarn and other yarns.

 I am still going to make my candles.

The best part is 

I am going to run more workshops.

The first soap making work shop for the year is on

Sunday 3/4/16 from 2pm-4pm

I will also hold other workshops 

Candles

Personal care

and others.

A new soap Peppermint and Lavender.

The workshops will now be held at the house in a new area we have there at the Shed.

Lots more room so there is able to be more to a class.

Friday craft will still be on each Friday, just all at the house now.

What will I do with The Old Dairy I hear you ask?

Well my brother is now going to live there, it will make a perfect little Granny flat for him.

Coffee and Cake.....

Hello and welcome.

We have been getting some wonderful Spring rain and the garden here 

is alive with colour and smells.

New in we have weaving kits...

Every one is enjoying weaving at the moment.

If you don't want to weave your self I have some weaves for sale.

$30

Had a great market at 

Toowoomba's Queens Park on Sunday.

The rain held of and it was a great day, one of the best markets I have done..

Also new to the market was my Dad with his wood work.

Lots of trap Art in before Christmas, over 50 different colours available, but be quick as they are going fast and I won't be getting any more until the new year.

We are now doing Coffee, Tea and cake so pop on in for a cuppa in the garden.

There is plenty of spots to sit and enjoy..

Have a great week.

Rearranging things........

Hi All

Thanks for dropping by.

Last week end saw us do our back to back markets.

Below is our market at Ipswich.

This is a handmade market with a lot of great stalls.

It is a big day for us though but worth it.

Sunday sees us doing Toowoomba Queens Park.

I love the vibe of this market, as you can see by the photo below I have different stuff for this market.....I have a lot more yarn...

On Thursday I decided to rearrange The Old Dairy.

I have a lot of yarn now and needed some new shelving to store it all on.

Below is a before shot.

The shelving is from Aldi and I love it...makes it so much

easier to see what there is.

The soaps and creams are still on the same bench.

A close up of the shelving display....

The 2nd room got things rearranged as well.

I love the table and chair under the window in this room, a nice spot for tea and cake.

 Well that all from here, I am going away for a few days to visit my daughter.

Enjoy your week

Mandy

Yarn yarn and more yarn......

Last time I was on this blog it was still Winter, well  now  Spring is well and truly here...

Some time ago I shared that I was stocking a new yarn called 

Trap Art.....

This is a t shirt yarn and great for baskets and rugs.....I am now doing the Toowoomba Queens Park markets and it has been a real hit there..Do you use it? What have you made ?

I have also become a supplier of Darn Good Yarn.

This yarn is made from recycled saris from woman in India...

There is so many different yarns from Banana fibre, silk and chiffon to name a few.

We have been making every thing from Spring scarves to handbags to baskets.

I am even using it in my weaving.

Friday craft is a real time of stopping and enjoying other women's company and learning new skills.

I know this is my favourite day of the week.

Saturday saw me host a group of ladies from Toowoomba that came down for 

Coffee & Cake

I know I enjoyed having them and I am pretty sure they enjoyed all that is on offer here.

From feeding the sheep to sitting and enjoying a coffee.

This Sunday I am running a 

Soap making demonstration....

Things are busy here at 

The Old Dairy....

Have a great week and keep crafting.

Supplying Trap Art Yarn..........

Welcome to a new week here at 

The Old Dairy.

We have busy around here making lots of melts. At the moment

everyone wants them and I am making them weekly.

This photo was taken last month at the Ipswich Handmade Markets.

I will be there again this Saturday from 8-2pm.

I am pleased to announce that I am now supplying the wonderful 

Trap Art Yarn.

Trap art is a Spanish brand and product that is made with high quality

recycled textiles. You can use this yarn to crochet or knit by using the larger size 10-15ml 

needles or hook..I am using a 10 crochet hook but others here are using a 15.

      

This mat I am using the 10....I love the bright bold colours of this yarn.

Above is a sample of what I have in stock.

With the cold weather here we have been also making beanies. This one is made from Merino wool, I love all the colours in it. I am going to make a shawl from this as well.

The poncho below has felted embellishments front and back, it is

a amazing piece and is for sale for $60

The scarf is hand spined silk and mohair and is $40

They are both one off classic pieces

These pieces are made by

the very talented Maureen Winser a local artist and also my Mum.

Want a chance to meet Maureen and see more of her

work? Well she is looking after 

The Old Dairy for me on Saturday while I'm doing the Ipswich market.

Mum is not the only artist in the family,

next week I will introduce you to my Dad and show case some of his amazing work.

Until then 

Have a great week

Mandy
