Can it...

...make up its mind today.  From brilliant sunshine to heavy hail showers...with rain and wind in the mix.

Just when you need a dry, bright day the weather breaks and the photo session has to be done indoors against a window to gain as much daylight as possible, but we coped...







Red wool Harris Tweed cushion with a red and white gingham one leaning against it, warm bright tones on this dull day.  Lime tote bag with a covered diary and card wallet.  A needlecord handbag and Elle J Wilson print, this time a cat...

Interested?  Just contact me and I can help...I make most of the items I sell.

Oh, and don't you love the tax office.  A letter received this morning asked if I could send my P60 from my employer UDC for the year 2010/2011.  I haven't worked for them since 2008...in fact haven't been employed since then, and am now self-employed.  They were sent all the relevent paperwork at the time!  Oops!!

Time...

...flies when you're enjoying yourself!!  Well when you're busy it does!

Lots of markets and fairs have passed since my last post.  We had great fun at the Hare Fair in Docking at the end of September.  It was in the church and Nicola Hart had worked hard in making all the stalls so pretty.  Others have not been so good, and my regular days at Docking and Swaffham have been good to slow, but I think everyone is checking their pockets these days, so I'm not surprised.

Back to the Hare Fair...hare bags, cushions and prints were favourites and I came away with all the hare cushions and bags having been sold.  I do have a couple of hare prints still, along with a variety of hound prints.

But I've been busy with orders, like the Mum and daughter set below.  Made from Annabel Grey's beautiful fabric, a little bag with purse to match mum's.  A cushion is now available...  Various colours of a my hand--knitted scarves, either frilled or fringed....more fringed on the way.








Christmas is beginning to loom on the horizon with shops having cards and decorations on sale.  Hand made bunting on sale and to order, along with decorations and gifts...




I'm at Docking Market on Wednesday...but there is no market on Friday at Swaffham, we have to give way to the Art Show, but all back to normal next week.

An order...

...for this hare fabric went from being a bag to a cushion.

It's terrific fabric which I've loved for over a year and am, at last, getting back to be able to order and use it.





The fabric comes in this colourway of hay and grey, but also in a turquoise and a red...

I've also got red poppy fabric...something coming to your screens soon!

Also this red gingham is so crisp and clean...


Several cushions and bags have now gone, and lots of simple little pin cushions have joined the stall...a photo will join when I have the light...

Bank Holiday Monday...

...we're at Drove Food and Craft Market, at Drove Orchard, Thornham, on Monday 7th...unfortunately no jewellery, as already some there, but you'll see all sorts of other bits and pieces...



Just a little sample...(in reality my camera keeps draining).  Linen covers, with feather fillings...also there will be lavender hearts...seat belt comfies...pin cushions, plus more....and other cushions!

It will be great to see you...I'm a friendly soul!

And at last...

...the necklace I've been rattling on about. It's a simple wrap, but quite effective with the finger of kyanite.

Also my ear-ring hooks have arrived. So I know what I'm up to today.

I want to mention someone on Etsy, whose work is so exquisite, and fun. She makes mice...yes, mice. They're beautiful little works of art, but such fun, all at the same time. Her Etsy shop is The House of Mouse. I hope you find it as much fun, as I do.
