...my date at the Trout Lake Farmer's Market this Saturday because I simply didn't have time to make enough stock! Between losing over a month to being sick and a very busy first half of May -- out-of-town soccer tournaments, school field trips, etc.. -- I ran out of time to make the items I had hoped to sell this Saturday at the market. I realized late last week that I would probably have to stay up 'till 3:00 am every night this week to put together my usual selection of goods; there was a time when I would have gone for it, but, well,... let's just say that I'm growing wiser...
I hope to pick up another date, most probably in the first half of June; as soon as I get a date, I'll mention it here. To all of you who were planning on coming by to see me on Saturday, sorry for this last-minute change and thank you for your continued amazing support! (Please e-mail me though if there's anything you might be interested in seeing right now.)
In the meantime, I thought I'd show you photos of the fabric combos I've chosen for two of my summery girl's ruffle skirts -- 'Hope to show you the finished skirts very soon...
I like you have got to the stage of not pushing myself too hard - the times i have sat until the wee small hours sewing and getting myself in to such a state!!
Ah - the joy of being older and wiser!
Love the colour combos you have put together - enjoy your sewing x

That's why I love blogging: now I know that there are other people in this world who have done the same -- staying up all night trying to finish their little creations!
Thanks for the thumbs up on the colors Tracy!

Well, if you'd stayed up to all hours doing that work...you might have been too worn out for the market, LOL! Just think...now you have a bit of a jumpstart on the next one.

It's good to set goals and it's good to know when to abandon them. It's all good :)

So true Lilli! I'm finally starting to get a bit better at doing just that...

Woould you consider sharing your source for the pattern for the skirts? I'd love to buy or make a big girl version for me!
