Watch the birdie

Hi guys!

How are you? I'm tired this week and am looking forward to the weekend, just hope the weather will be kind to us. Pls every one cross your finger.

As the lovely Pip has recieved her bday gift I can now share with you what I made for her. She loves green so thought this bag and vintage fabric combo would do prefectly!

I also made her this cute crocheted birdie which was a sort of prototype. Hope she doesn't mind me using her as a guinea pig if you know what I mean.

Ok so this week I have had a done some taste testing at the pub (the ostrich is amazing!), visited the school about Isaac starting in sept, baked some courgette and onion bread (actually Dan did that!), made new pen pots, coasters, birdies and have been getting some stock ready to be sold in a shop in Sheffield.

The shop is called A Crafty Crafting and I am renting a shelf there. It opens on Saturday and will be selling craft supplies and hand made gifts. You should definitely go and check it out if you are in the area. Heres a selection of what I have sent -

Thanks for popping by. See you soon,

A Roaring Success!

I can not tell you how nervous I was when setting up my wares on the day of my Yummy Mummy craft and gift fair. As I had never organised anything like this before I couldn't be sure any one would turn up. To my amazement we were really busy and managed to raise 330 GBP for Clic Sargent, which I think is truely fantastic. I would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone that got involved in this event for making it a very enjoyable and successful fair.

I also had a really good day as you can see from my depleted stall. I forgot to take the photos before the fair started.

More stalls including Hedgerow with their yummy chutneys, dips and jellies.

The arts and crafts table! It was busy earlier before they discovered the boucey castle out back.

The boucey castle! I managed to snag this at the last minute (well the evening before) as a little birdie told me the weather would be fab. Thats my 4 year old in the blue t-shirt having a good old bounce. Cheers Rob!

Face painting anyone?

After all that everyone enjoyed a much needed sit down with a cup of tea and a slice of cake. Theres the lovely Joan hiding her face behind her tea cup. She worked so hard and sold masses of raffle tickets. Over on the left we have Phoenix trading which is Debbies stall. Debbie is the lovely lady who had the idea to do something for Yummy Mummy week and who ran this fair with me. We have decided we will do another next year for another charity - any ideas?
