what I’m up to…..

The beauty of having back to back markets is that most of the preparation has been done! Allie’s Attic is on this Saturday in Mosman from 10-2pm and I don’t need to pack or sew or do much at all!!!! I will cut some more new fabric including these two lovely bolts that arrived today…from the Colour Basics range by Lecien…perfect for binding, quilts and clothes.

and I’ve been busy making more cute tags on my new cricut….yes I couldn’t help myself! I bought a cricut expression and am so in love with it. Although I’m not a papercrafter, the cute little tags and cards you can whip up in no time make life easy for markets and there are sooo many options per cartridge. I had previously been using my moo cards for tags but was always running out so seem to have solved the problem.

tags and more tags

I already have my eye on the sweet treats cartridge which makes cupcake carriers, the princess cartridge which makes an adorable 3D castle which will be perfect for keira’s princess themed 4th birthday next month! And the paisley cartridge does russian dolls…..I’m thinking a new cartridge per month. My latest purchase arrived just in time today, the easter cartridge which made these cute pop up boxes for easter eggs.

Now, sorry if I’m an enabler but I got mine on ebay! Husbands, don’t blame me!

  1. Oooh a cricut! Should I….shouldn’t I…should I? I’d LOOVE one too! Those tags look fabulous…is that Heather Bailey paper I spy? Looks like a great purchase Corrie, or should I say business investment (in case hubby’s reading) :) Hope all is well:)

  2. See you tomorrow at the market – can not wait to see what you have in store

  3. I so want a cricut – where did you buy it? Love what you have made – it could be my new addiction! Nic

  4. I have been looking at buying one for the last few months, should I, shouldn’t I, now I am thinking I should. I saw a tutorial the other day on how to cut fabric with it too. It seems to be so versatile.

  5. Oh i’d better order my CriCut now, before the rush!! Your work is amazing, so thrilled the Easter cartridge arrived on time, yippee for you. Gorgeous way to wrap eggs!! See you on Saturday, love Posie

  6. oooh, I didn’t know it did things like boxes…. oh my ! Packaging is one of my addictions for sure !!!

    Must investigate.

  8. I love enablers, all sorts of yummy ideas here, I adore your tags! xo

  9. Oh! I love those pop up boxes! Cute! See you on Saturday:)

  10. Wow, I’ve never heard of a cricut either. It looks like great fun. Where do you buy them from & are they expensive?

  11. I only just noticed these in the craft aisle the other day at Walmart and wondered what it was. Yours looks fabulous.
