Not ask anxious or stressed out as I normally would be with this market,probably because I have done it before and I am quite relaxed about it. So what have I got that is new? I have some cute little fathers day wallet/coin purse things such as these!  Alternative inspired hair ties, some cute lunch bags. Some handbags (if I get them finished), cute little covered button cufflinks and much more.

There is this gorgeous little makers market in Thornbury on tomorrow. I have a stall there and I am selling bits and pieces.  There is also coffee, cake, plants, and lots of gorgeous stuff from a whole lot of crafty ladies.

Not sure what time last night I was woken with "Mammy Mammy Mammy" and a screaming Tori.

Went into her room, tried to re-settle her to no avail. Nothing would work and she wouldn't go back into her Cot.
So I ended up on the floor with her with pillows and blankets with me hugging her to sleep. When Andreas came through to get us at 6.30, she was in a really DEEP sleep, so deep that we could pack her into the car and off to the grandparents without waking up.

So I am buggered today, really buggered.

Come and heckle me at the Thornbury Community handmade Market.

I'll have my usual things there plus some nice new bags that I have been working in!

COME AND SAY HI!!!

2 May 10-3pm 99 Leinster Grove Thornbury.

The market will celebrate all things craft, local and community.
The market will showcase a great range of crafts, perfect gifts for Mothers Day on May 9.

In amongst the sewing, cutting and constructing that went on in the workroom last night, I also did a bit of book covering ... if I can get a hold of a few more books before the weekend I might whip some other applique designs up on the machine ... another enjoyable crafty project. I have 6 bags in bits waiting on being sewn up. I try to not sew after a certain time at nights, as I always just end-up unpicking the following day. So if I am not tired (which seems to be the case a the moment), I will do cutting and pinning and not machine sewing (except if it is for a book!).

Tori is all hot and feverish this morning, hasn't really wanted breakfast and we have to go in 1/2 an hour to Mum's. I am teaching Y12 today, so a day off is not an option. Tomorrow however, is a different story! Friday I *have* to be at school as I am doing a presentation to Year 7's on the impact of ipods on their hearing.

For all those small business people on the friends list, twitter seem to be working a treat in getting interested people onto the web site and then into the shop. They also seem to be sticking around longer, not sure if I am just writing more interesting things ...

Here are some other KKBB links via twitter ...

• Do schools kill creativity? If you don't know about the TED- Ideas worth spreading lectures, then please hunt them out. I listened to a few last night while cutting away. The Anthony Robbins one is good, the Clifford Stoll one is disturbing and then there is Emily Levine (comedian), very funny. Be warned TED is addictive - it might just change the way you think about things!
• Here are some rainbow packs that my Year 7's have made - they are all so gorgeous with lots of ideas for me for future projects!

I love the concept of product development via Twitter. I posted a link to this KK Business Blog post this weekend on the Rainbow Packs that I am making for my Year 7 class, which will then be filled and passed onto a school and I got back a whole lot of Direct Message Twits with the vote!

So I will ask LJ land, for those of you who don't  twit or face.

Take a look at the bags, tell me which one you like the best and why. Also, what would yu pay for a bag like this? An adult version ... with zips, clips pockets and adjustable straps...

.. does whatever a spider bag does.
The link in the last post was wrong :(

Kokka Spider Bag

Some yummy things for you to look at in my online shop ...

Skull Love Tote Bag: A tote bag with magnetic closure with a patchwork panel with skulls and cross bones in it.
Spider Market Bag: A "one-of-a-kind" Market Handbag with a panel of Japanese Medium Weight Linen which has a spider design on it.
Flannel Skull Wrap: This cosy wrap is ideal for the cold nights coming up.
Plenty of coin purses, pouches and pencil cases.

Konstant Kaos will be having a market stall at the Made n Thornbury market on 2nd May at Thornbury Women's 10-3pm 99 Leinster Grove Thornbury. I will have more bags there and gifts for "mothers". Come and heckle me!

Uploaded my Gocco creations to etsy and also some cute kitten coin purses   *meow*

My brother has left the country! Yeah!

Unlike last time there is a barely a sniff of him being here. Over the last few months he has downscaled and re-distributed his stuff and he bascially worked it down to 40 kilo's of luggage. If I didn't know better, I would think that he was going for good. He was in good spirits last night, but unfortunately my whole head was aching so I wasn't up for much conversation yesterday.

Andreas is doing the "run" to his parents this morning with Tori. She is off for a swimming lesson again with Oma in Bentleigh with another German grandmother and grand daughter.

I, unfortunately, have parent teacher night tonight, not looking forward to that. But I will stick around school, get my correction and prep work done and have a cushy rest of the week (perhaps).

As soon as I can find my memory card reader, I will post pictures of the new stuff I made for Worn Wild.
