Tim made me this gorgeous little thread holder too. I think I need more threads to fill it though. I love the bright yellow he used, it's so cute and happy. xo Teneale
Just as I'm starting to get used to the normality of not having to sew like crazy for the BIDM market, I received a call from BrisStyle this week. Someone else wants a pencil wrap, eeek !! These little suckers sold out so quickly on Saturday, I've had to order more fabric in.
Luckily I had some cute LOVE fabric left.
What I don't understand is why everyone asks "do these come with the pencils ?". I feel like saying "of course silly!", but apparently some people sell these and don't include the pencils. How very sad.
I hope my lovely customer likes her pencil wrap. I think I'll have to make myself one someday soon. Colouring-in is becoming a popular hobby by the look of things...
Today I am wearing my red check dress and a manic head of hair. But I still have a smile no matter how weary I am :D
The lovely Helen from Ruby 2 GoGo sent me a card today, a thank you for helping make the BrisStyle market successful. I would like to thank and congratulate all the BrisStyle team too, your stalls were all very impressive and our audience loved us! And thank you Helen for your energy and spirit.

ps. Wicked Child Designs managed to get into Rave this week, along with a few other BrisStylers last Saturday at the markets - page 33.
This is the house my mum lived in. My poppy lived there till he died in '93. There's been many changes over the years, but it's still standing. My poppy's brother's house wasn't so fortunate, it's now a Woolworths in Childers (as we found on the way).
We also visited Sebby, who is godmother to my mum and my two aunties Donna and Karen (pictured l-r my mum, Sebby, Donna, me). Sebby used to live in the house behind my grandparents house. My mum told me how there was a gate in the fence between them, and mum would always be at Sebby's place reading all their books in the spare room. I've always wanted to learn crochet, and Sebby was very keen to teach me. I didn't get very far in it though, too many crazy words like double crochet and treble crochet for me to remember in a 1/2 hour visit. It's amazing how fast a 92 year old can be.
I loved this little brown owl tea cosy she had made. I'll put some more photos of the lovely beach on my blog this Friday.
And this Wednesday I am wearing my teddy bear dressing gown and fugly boots. I have such a horrible cold I was sent home from work. Gosh I love winter. Grrr.
Goodnight everyone.

Good night everyone, Teneale xo
And so were the twin ducks. It's been so rainy, it rained more today in 24 hours in Brisbane than it has in 8 years. So so cold, and all the damn washing is still wet from yesterday. Urgh.
Nevermind. So what was I wearing today? I tried on a new pair of mustard tights with my floral dress, which was followed very speedily with my woolly black jumper. But on a more interesting note is my handbag/bowling bag, which I love heaps more. It was a Vinnies find at Northgate, which has now become a favourite shop for me (I've also just recently bought a cute old brown suitcase there. Very into luggage at present). Op shops always seem to have the most interesting finds.
Hope you like my first Watcha Wearing Wednesday blog. Meet me here again on Friday.
