 HI HO SILVER LINING!

It's been another really busy week, with crafts fairs, making, volunteering in the RNLI shop at the last minute on Sunday morning as well as doing side hustles with my makes! Just call me Del Boy, lol.....

Last week's evening craft fair was an odd one, I'd expected it to be much busier (and glitzier) than it actually was but we made £306 so I was pleased.

And of course I chose my outfit on purpose just so I could blend in with my surroundings!! This is my mate Sue who came to help for the whole time, thank you so much lovely gal xx  A couple of other RNLI ladies came as well so it was nice to have a chat as well as sell.  The next fair is this Saturday, in aid of SSAFA, an armed forced services charity - it's in a hotel less than a mile away so that's handy.

As a lot of cross body bags have sold, I thought I'd make some more in the stylish camo inspired fabric I got recently:

So hopefully these will sell on Saturday, fingers crossed.

I've been making smaller snowmen for the Christmas at the Boathouse event on 7th December. First of all, I made this:

The yellow wellies worked fine but I didn't like the hat or scarf so I took them off and tried a nice French Navy yarn instead:

That's better! The crew wear navy jumpers when on marches etc so it sort of fits in.

They're quick to knit and I've embroidered a carrot nose rather than faffing with a knitted one, seems to work ok.

I got fed up with my patterns being everywhere so bought a couple of new folders yesterday and am having a really good sort out....

I'll end up with separate folders for Christmas, Easter/toys and garments. Having discovered how easy it is to buy digital patterns from Etsy, I may need supplementary ones in the future lol!!

Hope you're having a wonderful week - our Neet is having ups and downs in hospital, things aren't improving quite like we thought last week. I'm sure that cards/messages would be welcome, contact me if you need info.

Love to you all xxxx
