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....?

Sunday a floppy day.....


Had one of those floppy days, today as we call it in our house... so have been drinking tea, reading the Sundays, & little much else really, just lovely...
So why do I feel so guilty....?

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
