Rain = Sewing!

Miss Chief Designs welcomes the rain today!We have had a very busy week, I have gone back to work full-time and Little Middy is now going to daycare. Luckily we had Little Miss (little Middy's cousin) come along to our visit on Monday and check it all out for us. She already goes to 'school' and needed to check that it had good toys, friends and the people were nice. Luckily for Little Middy, she also checked for "fires"? bit random... but you will be glad to know, there were NO fires! so if that was busy enough...We had to put down our family cat of 15 yrs. :'( It was one of the hardest and saddest days I have had for a long time. She will be sorely missed, especially by me and little Miss, as she was "Our cat" but what a life, did "Our Cat" have! RIP Loui girl.Today is back to some normality and we are sewing frantically, trying to get everything completed for the Mathilda's Market this Saturday, hope to see you all there!

My Creative Space

Autumn has arrived *brrr* so I thought what better time to make Little Middy some new warmer garments. I haven't really used a sewing machine a great deal before, well to be honest, I *cough* failed sewing in college (if only that teacher could see me now! *wink*). But I thought "why not give it ago" and here is my first attempt, of a winter skirt for my girl. Now what to do for my next challenge......... although I might make her a few more colours yet, a girl HAS to have the same garment in many different colours (to match her shoes of course!).

Dodges Ferry Market

Arh, the joys of having a market in your home town. Dodges Ferry is such a vibrant sensational place to be and the locals are fabulous! (yes, that includes you Mum!). I am still in the process of conning Mr. H, to move back down there. I have got him as far as Midway Point.

Anyway, Back to the market.
We met some very lovely stall holders at the Market on Sunday. and one of Miss Chief's favs traveled down for the day, The Bomb Squad, we LOVE these girls and their products

.

We also met one very lucky woman, she was admiring some of our bags, and about an hour later her hubby rushed back down and brought it for her, as a lovely surprise! yes we agree, we need to clone men like this!

My beautiful cousins and their bubby's (although one is still in the warm, safe place, of, Mrs A's tummy) came down to support and visit us. It was so nice to see them and they left with some lovely pieces.

The last Dodges Ferry Market (until Summer) is on the 4th of April, we would love for you to come along and have a look. You wont be disappointed.

And last but not least, a beautiful photo of Little Middy, wearing her new top, designed by mummy. xx

Lollipops and Dinosaurs.

Do your littlies get you to carry around ALL of their favourite things when you go out? Mine does, or she starts off carrying and then somewhere between the car and the market/shop/park/toilet she decides it's "all too much" and either drops them in the midst of a HUGE tantrum consisting of screaming, crying and general thrashing of limbs and shouting "they are too heavy, my arms/legs/bum/fingers are aching".

Well we have a solution (sounds like the beginning of a Danos ad doesn't it - sorry no steak knife here), get your little cutie a bag of their own.

So here is a sneak peek of the mini tote's and shoulder bags we are making.


Look for them at Mathilda's Market on the 27th March, but be careful you wont be able to resist them for the littlies in your world. More pics when we have finished them and one of these darlings will be part of a huge give away - so get ready.




Oh this last one is a 'one off' and so far it is looking mighty cute, well it does have sparkly beads, tutus, princesses and castles - a whole heap of girly goodness.


Chat soon

Beautiful Bags

Well what a rainy start to our long weekend :-(. Good for the garden though and to fill up my water tanks. It also lends itself to just a little bit of sewing. I have finished a new load of bags all ready for the upcoming markets and was so pleased when I loaded them onto Miss Chiefs' Facebook page and a couple were sold within minutes - makes a lassy a little chuffed.
Miss Chief is gearing up for a give away so get yourself and all your friends all ready to comment madly.
I am not sure which of these bags are my favourite, certainly Purple Daze is grabbing the attention, but I also love the cheeky cowboy tote - just appeals to my sense of humour. I'll let you decide for yourself.

Beach Babies


Yippee Ki Yay
(A.K.A. as Spunky Trunks *grin*)


Yee Haw






Purple Daze (tote)


Purple Daze (shoulder)

I love them all, sometimes I think they are like my babies and its hard to sell them - but then I think - I can always make more babies *grin*
Which one is your favourite?

Have a dry weekend!
Miss CHief
