Hope street market




I am very glad that the hope street market went very well during the weekend. It was not not as good as last time, probably because of more competitions in the market, but I enjoy the bigger places and more customers. I guese everyone make less money than last time, but we have more interaction this time. So it's quite fair. Sometimes it's just hard to please every customer at the same time.
I can't get half day off from my work (horrible boss) so I have to prepare the stall on Sat morning which is quite scared coz you never know what will go wrong at the last minute. Thank god everything was alright. I didn't know we have a board behind us so I have absolutely nothing to put on, luckily nice Natalie from Rebound Book gave me some pins to put on the board so i can hang my bags up!
Then I've met some designer friends like Michelle from Shelbyville, Sarch from Scotatto, Aresa from Mam Mam Design. It's good to see everyone around again and I am pleaed that everyone are doing very well!
Then of course I met famous Kara Smith, who made beautiful handbag; Adrienne who made cute little softies Skurvyz and Splodgez, AND Lyndsay and Kelly White from Made by White.
I also met Sally Jarmaine who made beautiful notebook. I bought two notebooks from her 2 or 3 years ago at Mushu on Crown street. At that time I haven't start making Tamptation or Double H. I just thought "wow, cool notebooks, I wish I can make that one day" And today (well yesterday should be) I can't believe I met Sally in person and cut a rubber stamp for her!! How cool!

Well, Hope street market is very enjoyable! I wish I'll be there next time!

Hope street market ready




phew... finally finished all the stocks for the hope street market. Well, it's not totally finished but that's the best I can do! Having a full time job, teaching and making all these things arn't easy! I actually couldn't believe I can make it this far. Few days ago I thought I won't have enough time to finish all these stuffs.


Maybe working full time is a good thing, it pushes me to do as many things as I can in a short period of time. Seriously I just start painting and sewing some of the bags this week and the notebooks... well, some of the designs I just started it 2 days ago...



Anyway, finger crossed for the market. I heard the weather won't be too good but who knows.... last time it was raining but still there are so many people came to the market!!

Red flower pleated handbag and pouch

This red flower fabric is a very traditional, very old fashion Hakka (a subgroup of Chinese people) style in Taiwan. I've seen this since I was a little kid, mostly are from grandparents' bed linen, pillow cases and comforters.

I was thinking about making a bag using this old fashion fabric would be a great idea, and yes, it is! It looks fabulous!

Size:Approximately 31W x 27H x 10 (base) cm. Straps is 20cm drop. One open inside pocket.Wooden button with loop closure.


18 x 12 x 4 cm. With different flower pattern on each side.
