NOW THE HOLLY BEARS A BERRY....
Hi there lovely Deskers, how are you all this week? Another day of meet ups around the globe, having a peek at what everyone is up to and getting ideas and inspiration at the same time!
I'm gearing up for the craft markets, the first is this Saturday:
It's in a farming area where Welsh is very much the first language so I thought I'd do some more flag items. Sheep, chickens, dogs, bees and ducks will definitely be taking precedence on the table as well!
I've been hooked on making these sweet little angels and will feature them on the two Dunelm stalls later in November:
I adore this holly and ivy fabric! I'm using up some red ribbon stash as well...
Making the bodies out of tulle is easy....
...but hot gluing their hair and wings on seemed a bit harsh....
Worth it though! I like them, but we'll see how they go.
I've not been the only RNLI volunteer making Christmassy things though, a friend knitted these Ferrero Rocher covers:
Fun huh? They're for the Christmas at the Boathouse event on 1st December, featuring an excellent local choir, mulled wine, mince pies and a couple of craft stalls. I'm looking forward to it!
Hope you all have a marvellous week xxxxxxxx

Oh those angels are so cute. You have been busy there. The little Christmas puds look so lovely displayed in their box too. I wish we lived s bit closer and could pop round to your craft fairs. Best of luck and hope you clear your tables. Take lots of photos.😀x x Jo 🌈

Dear Jan!
Wish you all the best for the comming craft markets. Thumbs up!
The little angels are so sweet, think, they all will fly away...
The knitted Ferrero covers from your friend are cool!
You are always so busy - having the new sewing machine and Gordon at your side.

All those angels look awesome! They will be flying away fast I think! The Ferrero covers are very fun, you guys have so much fun making new things! Have a great week, Lindart #14
Oh my life I’m WAY behind. Went for a blood test first thing Wednesday followed by Home Group. Got my blood test results Thursday and my Cholesterol has gone up despite the new “Lifestyle” diet; so pretty miffed about that. Today just SOOOOO tired, I’d had a hospital appointment Monday too so I think I’m just mentally exhausted with it all.
Just delighted to see your choir of angels they are adorable. Thanks for the colour name, will add that to my notes.

ooh hope it went ok Saturday and those Ferrero Rocher covers are a brilliant idea too. ps Chris McCausland was AMAZING on Saturday fingers crossed for tonight
Love that holly and ivy fabric - what a find that was and so lovely when made up.
You should do well with all of your stuff, good thinking about the lifestock fabric for where you are going.
Love the mince pies.
Hugs, Neet 1 xx
