Time to send thanks
Hello people... gosh I've been so busy, too busy in fact, to keep, up to date with my blog... there's a reason, & all shall be revealed shortly.....
In the mean time, I hope everyone is enjoying their Christmas....
I'm now, in the process of writing many thank yous for all the lovely gifts I've received over these past few days,... it's also a good excuse to do some craft in font of the toasty open fire... Warm minced pie anyone.....?

James at the church Christmas fare...
Whilst I've spent most of my evenings, & a few Sunday afternoons, crafting away.. everything is now packed, priced & hung, all ready for the church Christmas fare, this Saturday, trouble is.....
Being a hairdresser, & a very busy one at that, especially this time of year.. James (that's my hubby), seems to get the job of carting, setting up, & standing selling, all my bits a bobs... to tell you the truth all the ladies love him....!!
Think there's homemade sausage rolls, & mince pies passed around too, which does help.... I'm a lucky girl...
(these pictures where taken in the salon window, the giant cones were gathered by my kind mother & father-in-law , & I've scented them in an oil called 'grandmothers kitchen'... which is a mixture of baked apples & Cinnamon it does fill the salon with Christmas........)

Church candles
Getting in the festive spirit, well trying to put a positive spin on it (the news is so depressive...) ... I know this will be a very difficult Christmas, for many, & I don't believe it has to cost the earth to decorate the home, I've cut rosemary out of the garden, & made small wreaths, & recycled some of my candles, where I've photocopied an image & pasted it around the candle with jute I found in the kitchen drawer...

So here's the thing
So.... most of the bits & pieces for the Christmas craft fare are done... just bits & bobs to finish off now, phew..
The utility room looks like, a small whirl wind has spun about a bit, & plonked paper, pins, fabric, pencils, lace, rose hips, stuffing, &... oh well.. you get the picture...
Work is now hectic, & have got the usual very sore hands, which are currently heavily greased up, & shoved into white cotton gloves, 'nice' but not in a good way...! &, am presently typing in them... feel like a magician about to perform a trick... (pick a card any card...!!)
Remind me again why I started doing this craft lark again....?

Christmas Country Living fair
Inspirational.... breath taking (small clapping of hands) Christmasy smells, gingham hearts, twiggy hangings, vintage ribbons on bobbins... the list goes on & on & truly on....
However....for outstanding fresh & innovative handmade items, it must go to
'Made in hastings' lovely stand, kind friendly people, with their different approach to the ordinary gifts & goodies you can buy,.. if you haven't see these truly great artists & their work, have a look at their website www.madeinhastings.co.uk
