Kraftbomb this weekend!

Friday, May 28, 2010


Hey lovely people — it feels like AGES since it was last Kraftbomb time, which is silly as it's exactly the same time between every market... Anyway, come long Sunday for some awesome crafty times, it's going to be their 21st market! Let the good times roll....

Me and my Markets...

Wednesday, May 19, 2010

Some of you may have seen that I haven't been around at too many of the markets lately, or maybe you haven't noticed — well if you didn't, I have been taking a bit of a back seat from all the markets that I do. It was getting a little bit crazy with a market nearly every weekend!

I have decided that I will endeavour to do Kraftbomb each month and scatter into the mix the occasional other market when I can, and to keep things interesting of course! Kraftbomb has always been a great market for me and it works well with finding sitters to look after my Gracie.

Those of you that know me, know I'm a one parent wonder, so I have been using all my baby sitting time to work at markets and am having little (if any) time to myself. I think I just need to look after myself a little better and give me a bit of 'me' time.

With the Auckland Craft Collective and at the moment, putting in 9 hour days into the Auckland Art & Craft Fair plus working as a freelance Graphic Designer by day and being Mum to Gracie, I need to find a way that I can still work on Bam Bam Creative — as this is my gig, and I do absolutely love what I do, and I want to keep loving it — so the markets had to give a little!

Anyway, enough about that, I just wanted to let you know what was happening round my place — this weekend I'm going to be at Mary's Market in Freemans Bay, so take the time to come along as it would be great to see you (details in the side bar).

Chat soon lovelies xx

Just for some eye candy from around Grey Lynn...

Auckland Art & Craft Fair

Thursday, May 13, 2010


Hey lovelies, just wanted to do a quick reminder post about the Auckland Art & Craft Fair that I'm organising with Kylie under the Auckland Craft Collective. Applications close tomorrow (eek!) and we've had heaps come in today as the word gets out there.

If you haven't heard, the Auckland Art & Craft Fair is happening for the very first time on July 24th 2010 at the prestigious Auckland Art Gallery. The Fair is designed to showcase a selection of New Zealand best independent and contemporary Designers, Artists & Crafters selling their products direct to the public for one day only.

At the Fair you will find products with an emphasis on quality, craftsmanship, creativity and style. You can purchase direct from the seller, knowing that you are supporting our local talent and you will be taking home a special piece that has soul.

We have been super lucky with having major sponsors the Auckland Art Gallery, Frankie Magazine and Base FM and support from people like EcoStore and the very talented Sarah McNeil.

Check out the blog for more information, hop to it!

A Crafty Influence & a Lovely Package...

Sunday, May 2, 2010

We've been spending a bit of time inside this week — I've been really sick and haven't been up to much. Grace has been having lots of games and her favourite one at the moment is playing 'markets'! It's so cute, she sets up all her jewellery and hair-ties — they're all in their little rows, sorted into colour and type with the best customers being her Barbies. Anyway, I finally snapped a photo of her game.


I had a very cryptic message on twitter from Emma of Freedom Creative asking for my address... a few days later and this lovely wee package arrived! A 'just because' package, which are always the best kind. I thought that Emma deserved a special mention, it was so sweet and really cheered me up when I was feeling so sick and rotten. Thank you Emma, you're a real sweetheart xx
