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...

The postman...

...knocked, but I was already at the door, opening it before he had time to let the knocker loose. There in his hand was a box, I couldn't keep the grin from spreading...he must have wondered what I was receiving, as I said thank you, quickly closed the door and disappeared back into the house with my parcel.

I placed it carefully on the table, gently peeling the tape away...and opening my box. Pillows of air surrounded a cone of blue tissue, tied with red twine, threaded with, aptly, a blue bead. I pulled the bow apart, gently unrolled the tissue, and there...looking up at me was my beautiful goosey.

She's wonderful...so beautiful...and utterly gorgeous.
Gretel is amazingly clever...all her art is gorgeous, but...my little goosey is special.


Thank you so much for her...and thank you for your cards...it's made a wonderfully bright morning...
