The Christmas Fair

For the last week, all my spare time and energy has gone into crafting for the Christmas Fair. This is the second year that I have joined forces with my lovely and very creative friend Michelle to peddle our wares at the infant school's Christmas fair. Of course it is supposed to be fun but that doesn't mean to say that I don't get just that little worried because I never seem to have enough time to get all the products made that I want to. I guess it is the curse of a creative mind, as suggested by a friend last night, that causes panic about everything not be finished and ready.





Despite my reservations about how much I had done and how much I still wanted to do, our stall did look rather pretty. That is probably the best thing about having a craft stall, it just looks so fabulous to see all of our beautiful things there together.


I rather liked Michelle's crochet reindeer and snowmen this year which were very popular and I do believe that she practically sold all of them.



And as anticipated I did not have enough crochet monsters or crochet baubles.







I did sell a number of my snowflakes but fortunately not all of them as I do have plans for them so I am pleased to have some left. I also priced my crochet bunting and stocking a little high as I thought that there might be less chance of selling it and therefore I would get to keep them.


I even took an order for a pair of wrist warmers which is so exciting because it just makes me feel that I truly am in business.


I would love it if you could leave a comment or even contact me for an order.

Firsts

It's been a day of firsts. I have been feeling a little bit under the weather and after being sick this morning I did not want to sit in the car for hours. So my husband and children have gone to visit my family without me. This did make me so sad but as there was nothing I could do about it, I thought I would just do my best to enjoy having time completely to myself. I have never been alone in the house over night. People have been away and I've been away but I have never had the whole place to myself for the whole night. I've finally got to grips with instagram and how the liking and the following and the whole thing works. I even got my first ever like which was so exciting. I'm guessing it's pretty addictive. Who should I follow? Where do I find people who love the same things as me? I think I still need a bit of help. And for the first time ever, an ironing board has been the object of my desire. I don't think that it even crossed my mind that ironing...

My first giveaway - Mod Podge Paperweight

My first giveaway I have learnt so much about blogging in such a short space of time, but what seems strikingly obvious is how important your readers are. One of the other things I noted is, the generosity of the bloggers with their giveaways. Everyone likes to get something for nothing, it is always quite exciting to be a winner and what better way to keep and increase your readership. What's even better is, that I get to make up the rules. So I am very pleased to announce my first giveaway. This is it. It is a glass paperweight that I made today using some scrap material from my quilt, a charity shop treasure and one of my favourite new discoveries - Mod Podge  How I made it Materials * A glass tile (I found this one in the 50p basket in a charity shop yesterday) *Some totally gorgeous fabric - this is Kaffe Fassett Fabric - Milliefiore - Red * Sparkle Mod Podge It was really quite simple after I had found all the materials. I measured and cut the fabric to the sam...

Gathered

The more I craft, the more I read and blog about craft. One of my favourite crafty magazines is Mollie Makes . If the world were just like an edition of Mollie Makes magazine then I would be very happy. It is just filled with the most deliciously fabulous craftiness and super talented people. I really do look forward to every copy dropping on the door mat each month. Recently life has got even better because the makers of Mollie Makes now produce a weekly online interactive magazine called Gathered. Once again it is full to the brim with beautiful loveliness and is out every Friday with all the best ideas to keep you busy over the next week. I do love it so and even better than all of that, this week one of my photos has been included in the Show and Tell collection. I was so excited. It's a photo of my crochet African flowers stacked up ready to make to make a Christmas stocking that you can see here and I am hoping to sell at the school Christmas fair on Thursday but i...
