We're doing 'A Little Bazaar' again at this night in Deptford - OOXXOO.

Come one and all next Thursday!

MEERKAT

Ey up! I've been well rubbish and haven't blogged in ages RUBBISH!

Been super busy with loads of little projects on that's been keeping me away from updating. It's naughty of me...I'm sorry.

Got a fab market coming up this Saturday which I'm really looking forward to :)

See my Market blog here for more info

oooo and....

....I created a new blog for our market, and I put the poster for our new party on it. And then I thought it best to mention it on here too, so I put the poster on here as well. The poster has a robot on it and it's in orange above. 

I like orange, especially when it's next to grey or purple. mmmmmm purple

anyhooze, the new blogs address for the new market blog is...

The Heartbreak Club!

Been frantically busy over the past couple of weeks, working like an ox and organising the Valentine's Day market and following party.

Everything went really well and everyone seemed to be having lots of fun. We had a new batch of sellers at the market, with some very special things for sale like saucy knickers, vintage goodies, wonderful jewelry and our wonderful resident cake girls!

I've been inundated with people wanting stalls for the next market, so many that I think we may have to expand it somehow! The next market is 21st March, and I really want there to be a craft-making event running alongside it to, like knitting or sewing. People love using my badge maker too!

Tattoo Parlour...

Heart Shaped Pinata smashing!
Heart-shaped Photobooth fun....
'Dirty Den' Kissing tent!
Brockley Ukulele Group playing love songs...

Our next party is going to be Robot themed! YEAY!

A little of what I have been up to...

Running around trying to do art stuff, whilst holding down not just one, but now 2 jobs = not enough sleep = less time for blogging :( I'm sorry! 

Plus internet being a weirdo doesn't help, so while i've got a couple of bars, I wanna do a catch up!

'A Little Bazaar' Launches.......

The 1st of our new wonderful monthly market's launched last Saturday, in a wave of bunting and edible treats. I was really chuffed with the turn out, and the things for sale were amazing!

We Had Vintage, Records, Artwork, Badge Making, Jewelry and Jumble......

One of the stalls was maned by the wonderful chefs Caroline and Alice, who cooked up a feast of interesting sweet treats, including edible glasses and budgerigar Cakes....

The next market is fast approaching (next Saturday for Valentine's Day!) and we're having an all day/evening event. Stalls from 2pm-8pm, then an evening of love-themed fun, including a photobooth, tattoo parlor, pigeon carrier dating service, kiss-o-grams, and lots more, all set to a soundtrack of power ballad style dancing classics!

The Party is called 'THE HEARTBREAK CLUB!' 

Come down for a boogie!

In other happenings.....Last Sunday, the day after the market launch I spent a day faffing around with lots of colourful things for a press shoot for 'Bring and Share' (a dj troupe i've known for a while) The shots are to use for press, and haven't been edited yet, so I'll wait to show you the final shots - coming soon!

Here's a teaser of my prop pile, and some furry ice creams!.......

We were in the shoot all day long, in a room with only skylights, and when we got outside, this is what was waiting for us......

5 inches of snow in Hackney! It was unbelievable! 

I couldn't get into the work the next day, but instead of playing in the snow with the whole of London, I was a good girl and stayed in to finish some sketches I've been planning for a private commission......

....it's what a tea party would look like if I had my way :)

right..bed!

Hello Disco Cats!!!!!

It's only 7.40am, and i've already been awake for nearly 3 hours - God knows why, but now the little men who built puzzling scaffolding outside my house yesterday have returned to decide they'd like to paint our windows nice and new, and for free, BONUS! only problem being now i've got magic fm blasting away a few feet from me (which I usually love, but not at this hour!) so snoozing is not an option now.

This week i've been planning towards a market i'm setting up with my friend Claire at the Amersham. Which she helped give the best name ever 'A Little Bazaar!' Genius!

We launch it Saturday 31st Jan 2009, then every other week, and we've already got some amazing plans and coming to fruition.

The idea is that it's a crafty/homemade/credit crunch busting market, but that also has general silly things going on that you can get involved/be silly with.

We're currently looking for artists/makers/collectors/sellers etc to be involved, anyone who has a good idea, a piece of cloth, some lovely things and a smile would be perfect. And you don't have to currently be crafty person to think of something to sell, one girl got a doughnut maker for christmas, so Hey Presto - 'Julia's doughnut factory' is born (she even has a syringe for your own choice of fillings!)

Other fun things going on include Kiss-O-Grams, Dress-up Photobooth, Sock Monkey Making, Themed Parties and lots more!

We want to build a little community from the market, play some good music, eat some tasty food, and make some party hats, so GET INVOLVED!

If you'd like a stall, or to get involved, email me:

p.s. the next market falls on valentines day, and i'm already excited about planning a love themed all dayer - Cheesy ballad love-songs, 'Blind Date', Snogging competitions, 'Mr + Mrs', charity date auction and more! I can't wait :)
