Market Preparation

So it's my first real life market on Saturday and I'm sooo excited - alright and a ltitle nervous. Not knowing what to expect, but the ladies from Mammas Market and other stall holders are just soo lovely in sharing their knowledge and wisdom with me! Coffee is high on the list of musts haha

This week is all about preparation and I'm finding it soo much fun pricing things putting them in baskets, I just hope it all comes together and looks as good on the day as it does in my head.

Would still love any advice or tips for a novice ;-)

See you on the other side........

Revamp: The baby bouncer

Remember these baby bouncers?

Here's an original. I picked it up for a measly $2 at a garage sale when Mr 7 was a wee baby. I tell you that $2 has gone a long way - 3 babies and 7 years later it's still going strong.

I was thinking it was time for a revamp. I have always just thrown a baby blanket over it when they're newborn so there are no indents left in there heads from the mesh, but I thought a custom made cover would look a whole lot nicer.

A bright one with love hearts...

And a softer toned one with butterflies and dragonflies...

I made up 2 so when one's dirty there's another one ready to go. There's nothing to the pattern I simply lay down the bouncer on top of the material and cut out 2 pieces then made the straps. I also put velcro along the bottom so it couldn't slip up and to keep it looking neat. I used a flannelette material so it's nice and cosy.
