Sparkley New Arrivals

Some times the postman delivers pretty parcels, that cheer you up. This one definitely did, just when it was needed.

A little prettiness

& in blue

The sparkles on the dogs coats were a delightful surprise. These photo's don't really do this fabric justice, it's gorgeous..

Dogs

It is no secret I love dogs

Must we really???
With attitude like this what's not to love?
However it's not just the furry varitey I love, I am very attracted to Doxie's. I really love Badskirt's doxies available to buy here

So image my joy when I noticed a link on the Spoonflower website for How to make a Doxie Necklace I was intriged and followed the link to Etsy and found this fab little boy, with full making instructions.
I love him. I am going to make a list of projects to do when I'm off for Christnas and he's on it. Now this list may never be completed but I at least like the idea of snuggling up on a cold winter's day with a list of projects to play with.

Great news


I finally heard from St George's Market and I'm in for the Christmas craft fair on 4th & 5th December. I usually apply during September and hear by October. This year they didn't put applications out, I just phoned and it dragged on & on. Finally I got a call today to let me know I had a stall.

I also have a ladies retail pamper evening in Belmont Tower on Thursday 25th November @ 7.30-9.30pm.

Unfortunately this means 3 weeks of major sewing, oh man. Hope to see any locals there.

Crafts for Men

I have long said if people could come up with crafts for men at fairs they would have a winner. After all do we not make our OH's trail around after us. They are a captive market stuck in a room being forced to walk in circles. so when i saw this I thought it was getting close.
Mustache Flasks
Available from whimsy and ink. It may also be a nice gift for that someone special.
