I found this gorgeous homemade orange dress while out op-shopping for an outfit to wear to a friends funk soul party. It was a full length number that went all the way to the floor.
But I wanted a short dress, so I decided to lop it off half way down. And I just wanted to say to the girl in the queue at the op-shop – I kept my promise and made the rest of the material into a handbag. Actually 2 handbags. I didn’t quite make them myself though, that was my crafty friend Rebecca. Thank you! They are super duper orangalicious. - Chrissy

welcome spring & welcome hand made crochet gear!
today is a bitter-sweet day... unfortunately we got word that we weren't accepted for a certain craft stall that we were totally holding our breath for, so that peed us off quite a bit & of course got us questioning WHY!? & in all that searching we decided that we didn't need that dam stall anyway & our crochet goods are pretty dam good, infact: the sun shines out of our crafts! even though is it seeming warmer, don't be fooled, it is still very cold around the edges. I got fooled myself & made the mistake of wearing a skirt with jandals & ventured out into town, i got a complete shock when i caught my reflection & could swear that my legs look like they've been soaking in napisan all winter! despite summery appearances i was cold as & very jealous of passer bys wrapped up warm in woollen paraphernalia & concluded that the "lovingly-hand-crafted-homemade-crochet-goods market" was still in high demand. SO this being said... We are coming right at ya with a stall that will knock your socks off & replace them with crochet woollen goods that are good for the soul. WHO? WHAT? WHEN? WHERE? WHY? you ask? THREE BAGS FULL have secured a stall at UPPER HUTT SPRING FESTIVAL featuring our friend, guest & fellow crocheter KATE BETTERIDGE this SATURDAY 5th SEPT. 9am-3pm THREEBAGSFULL will have a stall on Main Street, Upper Hutt, inbetween Mayfair Cafe & Romeo's. be there or be cold! Much love & warm wishes Sonia xo |
