A little bit here and there

This is just one of the packaging shot I wrapped for one of my customer

by using one of my limited edition hand printed linocut wrapping paper

Hey...have you thought I was really gone with the wind (all the rain and wind in Melbourne) after not hearing from me for so many days?? No, I have been very occupied by Peanut. She is approaching 7 months. If you are a mum yourself..you would be very familiar that baby this age gets more clingy..which is something I did not really experience when she was alot younger. Yeah, lucky me. Anyways, Peanut is growing very pretty and content (healthy and happy, main thing!). So you can imagine, more of her time during the day and less of the me time for me. I get so tired by the time when the dark and the moonlight arrives.

Catch me in action at the Fairy Floss Markets tomorrow

Anyways, I 'd manage to steal some time play with some design whenever I can..for the December Challenge. I think I will have some of them up for sales at my upcoming market with Fairy Floss Markets tomorrow. It will be our last market for the year. Do pop by and introduce yourself if you happen to swing by at the market tomorrow. I like to meet you there. And if you like Missy Minzy's illustrations then may I suggest you to purchase one of the Mini Desk Calendar Year 2011 when you still can. It has been selling like hot cake on Madeit and my parents in law (my top supporters) just bought 7 of them from me few weeks ago. *waves*

It seems to be doing me good when I am away cuz

I made some sales when I return to the computer. Noice!

The winner is....

Well, it looks like my first giveaway wasn't as great as I thought it would be.

It's ok. I know I will do better the next one.

It was quite tricky to pick one amongst the few entries. But I did chuckled when I first looked at this person's creative names for one of the character. I thought I might as well name one of my Mushy Character that. I will think of a way to name the other characters.

Please meet Octopushy - Mushy Character

Minzy Girl is going to love it now that she can call him with a decent name! :)

Congratulations to The Big Boss!

Can you please email me your address for your print at irene[at]missyminzy[dot]com

Thank you for all of your participation. It really means a lot to me! :)

My First Markets with Fairy Floss Markets

Sorry I have been missing in action on the blog. So the first markets for Missy Minzy is done deal last Sunday. And I have been catching up with long needed sleeps and real life. Gotta need the balance! Apparently Peanut and Mr Minzy were tired too. Hey, but I thought I was the one having weeks of late nights?? ;)

Anyways, some pictures on how my first markets went with Fairy Floss Markets.

Fairy Floss Markets' Launch Market

Met some really lovely people at the market. It's good to put names on faces.

Stallholders busy setting up their stalls before 9am arrives!

Ahh..my stall's set up

Missy Minzy's Stall on the actual day :)

I did mentioned sometime end of July or early August that it would be great to have at least 1 market before Year 2011 arrives. Guess what? I am going to have another 3 markets before Year 2011. So my next market will be at Williamstown (with Fairy Floss Markets) on 14th November 2010. Click here for more details.

Once you start, you never want to stop. Having markets is great fun!

I am working on some new items for my next markets. Just need to find the time write more over here, respond to more emails and request. Getting busy is great but being busy with good profit opportunities popping up would even better and lovely.

* * * * * * * *

Please bear in mind that my first giveaway has now extended to 8th October 2010 (Australia time). It is a very easy way of getting some Missy Minzy 5 x 7" print of your choice. Just come up with 3 creative names for the 3 weird mushy characters. Click here for more details. Winner will be announced here on 10th October, this coming Sunday.

My Creative Space - To Market, To Market

It has been a full on weeks at my creative space over here. I have been preparing my stock for my first market -Fairy Floss Markets. I think I went overboard with the desire to extend a lot of goodies to be sold in the market. Quite often I thought I was a superwoman, but I am not! :D

Fairy Floss Markets at Manningham Function Centre (Right next to Westfield Shoppingtown, Doncaster) from 9am ~ 2pm this Sunday. Fairy Floss Markets is the newest handmade for babies and kids boutique market in town. Do pop over, visit and say "Hi!" especially if you are living close by! :)

So my this week's My Creative Space is filled with finished works more than working in progress works. There were heaps of hick up throughout the preparation. First supplier stuffed up my order..and it would be very rush for me to pack everything. And then the bags..! Haha... I hope am not the only one having drama prior to the market day? ;) I have come to realise that of course I want to sell heaps of goodies at my stall especially it's my first market! But the reality is very tough especially when you have to take care of my 4~5 months old girl (lost count after awhile but who's counting? lol)

Mini Calendar for Year 2011

Will be available at the Fairy Floss Market this Sunday! :)

All 12 different mini hand drawn whimsical illustrations packed into this case.

An affordable way of collecting all of my whimsical illustrations giclee prints...in style! :)

I have to say I have been blessed with people (the Fairy Flossier) willing to share their contacts and their experience. That including making time to comment or 2 on my page..making all those lovely shout outs, those encouragement notes. It's really lovely to know that you are not isolated at your own space. I really enjoy myself. It's amazing to get to know that there is a lot of talented WAHM doing what they love doing.

One of my sign at the Fairy Floss Markets

One of my newer print.

It's ashame that you cannot see the details from here really. It looks good in real life. I thought the colourful bubbles floating in the air brings some happiness. Kinda made your day happy looking at them.

Let's Be Together (8 x 10 inches)

This title came to my mind..and it's stuck there.

I am having my 1st Giveaway this week. The one who can give my new 3 weird characters a cool and creative funky name will win yourself a 5 x 7 " giclee print of your choice. Giveaway will open till 6th October 2010. Click here for more detail on how to enter the giveaway. All the best! xo

Pop over to Kirsty's My Creative Space. A lot of talented women behind the scene with inspiring stories and craft works to be shared. Enjoy your Thursday! xo

My 1st Giveaway - Creative Name for these 3 Weird Characters

In the beginning, there were all the odd shapes, crazy, quirky colourful mushrooms in Missy Minzy's World (it's insane I tell you!!)...and then Minzy Girl appeared to be the only one who live in Minzy's World...and what's next?

Mushy Mama ?

You have met him..he has been hanging around on this blog for awhile ;)

Octopus Mushy?

I tried to colour them but they don't look good in colour.

I still prefer them just how the way I first hand drawn them. It's original, simple and tacky. :)

Do you have any suggestion on what name to name these 3 little weird creatures? :)

I like to have a funny ha-ha title for my work.

So switch on your creative hat and win yourself a small print - 5" x 7" of your choice.

I will pick the best set for the 3 of them which make me laugh.

I won this Giveaway Prize: Eee Ore

Can anyone recall I have won a giveaway not too long ago? Click here to refresh your memory.. ;)

No joke. I never thought I would win something in my life. I seriously thought I should have bought tattslotto that day. Might became millionaire! LOL!

Anyways, I have been a bad girl. I was meant to post this when I first received it from Loula (the owner of Childrens Lighting) early last month (I think). Just that Missy Minzy and Peanuts have been occupied most of my time. Peanuts seems to love calling for mama when am about to touch the keyboard. Typical ;)

Please meet my giveaway prize - Eee Ore!

Hi! Am Eee Ore!

Here's my whole body...

Have a look at my legs

I like the way how/who I am ..

Lovely note from Loula! :)

Am So Happy Today! :)

This, is what am having for lunch right now.

Leftover Lasagna

* * * * * * * *

I am feeling very happy today.

So happy that I baked 2 of my signature cakes for celebrating my happy mood... lol

Might surprise someone with one of them.. ;)

* * * * * * * *

How come am so happy?

I hardly win anything (tough luck).

So leave alone participating any giveaway or competition whatsoever.

I bumped into this Giveaway via BabySpace few weeks ago.

I thought they were cute and I really want to win one of them for my girl. So I joined the fun.

...and I actually won this lovely Eee Ore from Children Lighting today! ;)

Okie Dokie, am off doing some creating since Peanut is taking her nap again. Wee! :D~
