New dresses...

Here are some gorgeous new fabrics I just received this week and have made up into Diva Dresses:



I'm loving these fabrics and I've just made some gorgeous new rings too from these.... the glue is still drying so photos to come...

You can see the dresses and rings this Sunday at Boutique Markets, Portside Wharf Hamilton in Brisbane. It's on from 8am to 1pm. Otherwise I'll be listing them in my Made it store next week.

"Made It" is now up and running...

I've been meaning to for a while and have now finally listed my dresses, Snigglebottom's etc on Made It. For those of you who haven't heard of Made It before, it's like Etsy but is for Australian Sellers only and is in Australian Dollars - YAY!!

My direct address is http://www.madeit.com.au/littlediva and you can also click on the button over on the right. (I'll be closing down my Markets Online store soon). Still, the best way to find me is by going to my website, http://www.littlediva.com.au and clicking on the link at the bottom.

All set up and ready to roll......

The Snigglebottom's are in place,


the dresses are hung,


the patterns and fabric are ready to go...


Come and visit me at the Stitches and Craft Show from tomorrow, 29th April until Sunday 3rd May. It's at the Southbank Exhibition and Convention centre, Brisbane from 10am until 5pm.

P.S. Sorry about the bad photos but I haven't worked out how to take good indoor photos on this camera yet !

Stitches and Craft Update

Well here's the latest update on my progress for the Brisbane Stitches and Craft Show... ummm I've been making dresses for orders:


making things for the craft swap at the BrisStyle catchup this weekend (can only give a sneak peak of this at the moment - full photos later):



making a few magnetic bookmarks:



and trying to brainstorm some fantastic ideas for my stall at the show...

So, I guess I haven't done any one thing in particular for the show at all. I've nearly sold out of my Imbi Family softies so I'll have to get some more of those going too. Here's my list of what I need to do:

+ Make a fabulous sign for my stall
+ Make lots more stock so I actually have something to show !!
+ Think of something amazing and new to have at the stall
+ Work out my stall set-up

and lots more little bits and pieces..

So as you can see I haven't really gotten very far at all. I've got nearly six weeks to get organised but not doubt I'll be running around like a mad woman at the last minute.

Stitches and Craft Show

One piece of my exciting news:

I was contacted by Living Creatively who are the new owners of the Stitches and Craft show) towards the end of last year and they invited me to take part in the new “Incubator” section of the show. Basically, in their own words “the Incubator champions cool crafts and design talent by showcasing the best of Australian contempory craft and design from emerging and established independent crafters and designers”.

Needless to say, I said yes. So I’m in the process or sorting out all the details, working out how much space there will be, creating signs etc. I’ll also be doing a weekly post on my blog to show how the preparations are coming along.

I’ll just be showcasing at the Brisbane show which will be held
29 April – 3 May. Click here for the Stitches and Craft website.

The BEST Christmas Market Brisbane has ever seen.....

The BrisStyle Christmas Market is nearly here..... YAY !!



Only two more sleeps until the first (and definately not the last) BrisStyle Market at Hamilton Town Hall. It's going to be a fantastic day with over 30 fabulous stalls selling something for everyone - toys, jewellery, art, handbags, kids swimwear, fashion, recycled vintage wares and loads more... and the best thing is, it's all handmade by fabulous women in and around Brisbane.
