Starting over


After much deliberation I have decided to start the blog again with a whole different view in mind. This time it will be more about my life as a fashion designer, pattern-maker and seamstress. It will be in addition to the musings blog on 5trillion.com. The reason being this one is a little bit 'more information' and just for people who may be interested and not neccesarily customers. 'Musings' blog on 5trillion is a little bit of info about the clothes for those who are thinking of buying something. Does this all make sense... it will all become clear as both evolve, I hope! So here I go, I went to Camberwell market today to have a bit of a sqiz as I was told it was quite good. It was, though not as good as I thought, I may have had my expectations set a bit high after being told 'you should go, it's really good'. Nevermind. I still prefer the country markets... yes, OK I am a country girl so I may be a little biased, but they seem to have more homemade items. I went to one in Gisbourne (west of Melbourne) a few months ago and they have quite a good array of handmade clothes, jewellery, food etc. The country markets, of course, are not so big and do not have the volume of people who go to the city markets.
