girls' night in

last thursday night - and into the small hours - a 'girls night in' was held to raise money for women's cancer research.

my dear friend lisa and i braved it and decided to finally share our handiwork with others.

it was for a good cause and it came to us so fast that we didn't have time to reconsider.

we were a little unprepared but i had a 'light bulb moment' that when you are in control of making the goods, there will never be enough, you'll never be ready and you'll never feel like you have a wide enough range. it was a handy realisation the night before and enabled me to a) relax before the evening and b) whip up a new item to add to the stall about 2 hours before i left.

odd that in this acceptance more creativity arrived. think i should hold on to it.


amazing what a bunch of pink clad women, eating delicious, if a little pink, food, drinking plenty of vin can achieve in a short while.
in the process $1300 was raised.
we paid for, and then released balloons, carrying wishes to strangers.


i was tickled pink by the support my humble little offerings gained from the gathering.
this was my very first attempt at a 'stall'.

happy girls :)
