Stock Repleneshment

After a very successful fair at Tattersall Lakes I have had to replenish stock in rather a big way.  I spent yesterday making notice boards to replace the 14 sold at the fair.






I have also made another rag wreath, this time using a wide selection of Cath Kidston fabric and Cath Kidston buttons.  I actually really like it, it would look good in my craft room so I won't be disappointed if it doesn't sell.

A wooden tray is now complete and ready to sell, using Cath Kidston stamps.


Finally some wooden hearts are all painted, stamped and ready to go.

Another busy day planned for tomorrow and I should be ready for the fair at the weekend.
 
See you soon.

Yarn Along

This week I have finished another cushion to go alongside and compliment one I had made earlier finished with Cath Kidston buttons.  This time it was finished with crochet flowers and buttons.  It certainly makes for a very comfortable sit and contemplate chair.





 
I have also been busy with baby headbands which are such a quick make and a great way of using oddments.  I love how effective a few stitches can make something look, suddenly a pansy right before your eyes.


I have started a baby blanket in preparation for an Autumn baby as a gift.  A project that I can pick up and down in between other projects.  I have just started to read Kerosene by Chris Wooding recommended and loaned to me by a friend.  Not my usual style of reading but I will give it a go.

Looking forward to seeing what everyone else has on their needles or hooks.  Have a great week.

Yarn Along

This week I have been hooking cushions using chunky wool and a 7.00mm hook.  I finished one with Cath Kidston tiny rose buttons to coordinate with a throw I had made earlier in the year for a wicker chair in my craft room.  The second one is going to be quite plain and sit behind the pink, somewhere to sink into for sheer luxury.




 
I have just finished Just one more day A Memoir by Susan Lewis and have been browsing another gardening book.  This time Growing Food by Anna Pavord , a free gift with Grow Your Own Magazine, which was a subscription gift to my husband from one of our daughters.  A gift that keeps on giving in more ways than one.  I found the planting plans really quite useful and some of the recipes are a delight.  It is certainly a book than you can dip in and out of which is what I am doing.

 
Joining in with the yarn along Ginny at Small Things.  Have a great week.
