The Shed reveal.....

I am so amazed at what we have got done in the last week..

This Old Shed has had a major overhaul.

The area below is a outdoor kitchen, gravel floor and all.

Well with the help of our amazing Chek Republic backpackers it now has 

a new floor. These pavers are all being reused from another area that Micheal (below) pulled up as well.

To say I am happy with this is a understatement!!!!!

A outdoor kitchen somewhere for people to sit and have a cuppa....Also

This area is where I will be holding my Soap making classes, which will be starting here next week.

A nice big table to gather around for Friday Craft days..

Love the cool arrow I picked up and have hanging so people realise there 

is more out the back..

Remember last post and the mess in here?

Well it is a lot cleaner now.

Come in and have a look......

Bruce has put every-thing up on pellets....

You can now walk through here and see what is there.

Am I happy with what has been done...

Sure am

Thanks to a amazing Husband that takes my ideas and makes them a reality...

Till next

The Shed........

Hi ya

Last night I did my first night market....

The atmosphere was fantastic..

Not a lot of people out though because it was too cold...

Next month it will be from 2-6 which for winter I think is better.

Today the winter sun is bright.

I have tidied up the farm gate to attract passing traffic as the Dairy is back off the road ..

A change is always good.

Today we have cleaned out the shed at the back of the dairy

Taking a break it's hard work moving all this gear.

                                          Poor Bruce he has done most of the work for me.

Looking forward to showing you what we have done.

Mind you any thing will be better as it was so full of gear you 

just couldn't move in there, never mind show people stuff.

Enjoy your week end, we will be back at it tomorrow...

See Ya

Market Day

This weekend saw us at the Ipswich Handmade markets.

The weather was perfect and sunny.

Lots of great stalls this month

and lots of people about.

See Blue dog sitting there minding the stall for me.

Each month is different, this time I sold lots of wall hangers and

scarves and a shawl but no candles. Hahaa last month I sold heaps of candles.

This is what I love you never know what is going to sell so I try to take a little of everything.

I hope you enjoyed your week end

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

1950s Furniture....

Hi All

Very busy at the moment sorting out furniture.

I just want to keep all the pieces myself hahaha like this 1950s side board.

I have picked up some amazing pieces this week and can''t wait to 

get in and restore them. I love the 3 seater 1950s lounge we got.

Every seat is a recliner....

The old wardrobe that is perfect as is just needs a good clean.

And so much more duchesses, single beds chairs

Yep I have a bit of work in front of me...

Enjoy your long week end this weekend

Window display....

I have been playing with the display in the front window,

I thought i would move some yarn over here.

 Visitors often sit in the chair for a chat and love to look at the yarn.

I took these photos on Saturday and not 10mins after I took them

some one turned up and bought the desk....

Hahaha, this window is a good spot because when ever I move a piece here 

it sells. Now I need to do another window display.

At the moment I have yarn every where and want to put it all in one area.

I am thinking of putting it all in this cabinet, what do you think?

 I love this old dresser, so I think I will play around with it

this week and see.

Have a great week.

Markets...

Hi All and Welcome

I have done 2 new markets since we last chatted...

One here in Toowoomba

This market was in a beautiful old building and I was lucky enough to have this brick wall as my background. Love this wall and this whole space...

Last weekend I tried the Handmade Markets at Ipswich for the first time.

It was a good day with perfect weather.

I love the great little black board signs I picked up from K Mart.

So good for pricing.

Friday night I am doing a Twilight Market in

Loowood.

I hope it's not raining as I have been looking forward to these markets.

That's it for this week.....We have craft tomorrow

and I'm looking forward to getting some crocheting done.

Have a great week all
