What’s happening at My Obsession Designs

I will be attending The Upper Market at Upper Coomera on Sunday 3^rd April.  This will be my first market, so I am quite excited about going!  I have been very busy sewing over the past month or so to have some great products available on the day.  There will be Swimming Back Packs, Tote Bags of all sizes, Nappy Pouches (both large and small) as well as some Nappy Bags and Green Gift Bag packs.  I also have a few new items to show you on the day as well.  If you live in Brisbane or the Gold Coast I would love to see you there.  Goodie Bags will be given to the first 200 guests and in there you will find a product voucher from me valid on the day and for a week following for any orders placed through my Facebook page – My Obsession.  Make sure you stop by to say Hi!

After Sunday’s market I will be holding an online Market Night through my Facebook page for any product that did not sell at The Upper Market.  This album will be open for 48 hours only, from 8pm on Thursday 7^th April (Qld time) and then I will be closing off as I start to prepare for my next market in May – details will be provided within the next month.

We are so close to reaching 700 likers on my Facebook page – if we can reach this before my online Market Night I will sort out some fun and games for you all, with a few prizes too!

Custom orders will open again in April for a limited time.  Keep an eye out for an announcement regarding this.

Over the coming weeks I will be working on some new products.  I have a bunch of ideas floating around my head.  I can’t wait to get them out and show you what else I have created!  Make sure you watch this space….

Oz Handmade is running an auction for the Good Friday Appeal – a great charity that raises funds for The Royal Children’s Hospital in Melbourne.  I will be donating an item to this wonderful cause.  The auction commences on 14^th April and runs until 18^th April at http://www.ozhandmade.com.au/.  Please show your support for this wonderful charity and pick yourself up something beautiful and handmade.

On a personal note, as many of you may know, I am currently pregnant with my 4^th child.  We are now 18 weeks out from delivery, which I am sure will be here in the blink of an eye.  Over the coming months I will be working out what time I will be taking off from My Obsession Designs after the birth.  I will still be around, but production may be a bit low for a few months from the beginning of August.  If you have any requirements for Birthday Party Bags or anything else from August – November, let me know ASAP so that I can have them made for you before I take a break!

Thank you all for your support over the past 6 months or so.  It has been a pleasure to do business with many of you and I look forward to bringing you quality handmade items in the future.

Warm Regards

Easter Craft Tutorial

Hi there,  this is Sarah from Skip Chasey. I love all things craft and cooking (luckily my other job before having my little girl was a High school Home Ec Teacher).  I spent 16 months overseas in Chile and whilst there crafted often, I needed something to take my mind off being homesick. Last Easter I came up with this little tutorial of twine wrapped eggs. They look so cute in a glass bowl in the centre of a table.  Go check out my tutorial and have a go yourself. All you need is twine, hot glue and either raw eggs that have the insides blown and cleaned or even Styrofoam eggs (lots in the stores at the moment).  They do not take long to make but they look so cute. – I am going to attempt to make them with coloured raffia and the Styrofoam eggs soon.

Monthly Challenge!

Each month 'The Sisters' have a challenge to create something to a set theme. January was make something for yourself, February make something with spots and March is an Easter theme. (Yes I will try to post the January and February photos too!).

Just thought I would share some of our creations so far.

From Shan at missy melly Two gorgeous bunnys for her girls. Pattern is her own design.


Nicole from Relax-a-bag designed this tiny little softie!



Sarah from Skip Chasey used a tutorial by Amy Gunson of Badskirt for Sew, Mama, Sew.

Shelli from Shelli Morse Design has started this cute little shirt. mmmm keep an eye on her page, maybe she will list some soon?


Finally I made a little shirt and skirt set (will be listed for sale in my market night 1 April!!) and loved it so much, I'll make one for my little princess too.


Hope you have enjoyed our 'Easter' challenge. Hopefully more to come in the next couple of weeks. What do you think?
