Three sleeps until the BiTM

This Friday night Brisbane King George Square will be buzzing with BrisStylers for the much anticipated BrisStyle indie Twilight Markets. 

Pop along from 5-9pm for some handmade goodness.

shelleyberelli will be otherwise occupied that night, but I'm been sewing like crazy for the next markets I'll be attending, the December BiTM. This is an assortment of what I'll be bringing along - my new smartphone sleeves avec go-card pocket. Tidy!

All the colours of the rainbow!

The smartphone::go-card sleeves are starting to take shape!

The BiTM count down is starting...

What are you doing on the 26th October? Why don't you head on into the city for a touch of BrisStyle goodness? From 5-9pm a bunch of BrisStylettes will be presenting their wares for your shopping pleasure.

aPod

What's the collective noun for a group of iPhone sleeves? aPod? (LOL)

One down, fifteen to go.

Welcome to my first iphone::go-card sleeve. 

I've got a few more cut out and the Bernina is in overdrive. More photos soon.

Clivias and pockets

My patience and neglect was well worth the ten year wait. 

This clivia is the only healthy thing in my dry, dry garden at the moment.

Something else that has been neglected of late has been my sewing - but that's all a-changing.

Here's some organised chaos as I create new iphone::go-card pockets. I shall post progress shots once I fire up the Bernina.

Sunny Sundays

I'm really enjoying these September week ends. The days are getting longer and the weather is more enjoyable for picnics in the park. My thoughts are also turning to my garden. I am looking forward to planting some new flowers and setting some of my pot-bounds 'free'. 

I love this time of the year when the plants surprise me with their flowers. One day they're just a regular-joe plant, the next the brighten up my balcony with their beautiful flowers. 

I came upon my surprise of the month when I was pushing my garden back onto, well, the garden, after the bush turkeys had spread it everywhere else ... my Clivia looks like it might treat me to a burst of orange this year. It's been there in the corner of my garden, hiding amongst the showy hippeastrums, ne'er a bloom to be seen. Whether it's the previous good rains or the latest dry spell, or maybe the planets have suitably aligned? It's not mine to question why. Maybe my run of neglect has paid off again?

To finish off the week end, we had a baby-shower-high-tea + frisbees + badminton. Best games *I've* ever played at a baby shower, hands down!
