.... AND THE SKIES ARE GREY....
Well, that was a busy week! It involved: visits, crafting and roofers, now there's a mix of things. All was good though and the days have whizzed by!
I used up all this bright fabric and really love it, so cheerful and funky. It's eye catching anyway, definitely not a shrinking violet lol.
After thinking about what else could go on the craft fair stall, the jewellery wallets I've made in the past came to mind. I'd forgotten what the dimensions were so made it up....what's new I hear you say!
It's about 18cm wide and 15 cm tall when folded up like this but it opens out to:
A zipped pocket at the top, an open pocket at the bottom and a lace strip on which to hang your earrings. There's quite a lot of space and it folds up nice and flat - we'll see if anyone's interested at the next few fairs! I made five altogether:
It's quite handy for using up ends of fabric and doesn't take that long really.
The RNLI gals have been knitting away:
Chris and Lesley have supplied me with a few each of these Creme Egg characters! The blonde hedgehog far left looks like me on a bad hair day lolol!! I'm so grateful that the ladies have saved me having to make these, let's hope we don't have any left in a few weeks' time.
My bro and SiL came for lunch last Saturday and we decided to blow the cobwebs off with a walk on the beach, the rain held off (amazingly) and the beach was very dramatic:
My nose and eyes streamed all the way round but it was worth it!
Neet is back in hospital again after cutting her hand quite badly, poor lass, she's not having much luck...big hugs to you Neet if you're reading this, I wish we could help in some way.
Have a great week everyone, may your crafting be enjoyable and stress free xxxx

I bet your beach walk was as chilly as our snowdrop one. Bracing, if snotty🤣.I love that bright fabric Jan - so cheery.The gaggle of egg covers made me smile. I like the eyes on the chicks. x x Jo 🌈
Poor Neet, Jan, I’ve sent her a message.
Your new makes are lovely- I still use the jewellery roll you gave me. It’s good to see your Lifeboats posse are knitting Easter egg covers, they’re cute! Good luck for Binea fair.
Happy WOYWW

Poor Neet, she must be so down. I am in A&E at the moment, the doctor sent me here in the hope of getting a diagnosis for my face pain. Hugs Angela.#10
Oh No! how did she manage that, poor Neet is having a hard time of it. Looks like you've been busy and great results, well done. Wishing you a very happy woyww with hugs, Angela x9x
All the leaves are brown.....Did you ever see the comedy sketch on this song? Look it up on you tube. California Dreamin' - The Sketch Show with Tim Vine who lives round the corner from me. Oh my not even got past your title yet!!! Super makes and the blonde hedgehog is brill! Dramatic skies are great aren't they. Sorry to hear Neet is back in hospital though. Hugs BJ#4
The skies might be grey but your makes are so bright and cheerful!! And look at that hedgehog! So good to have helping hands to add yo your stall. Happy WOYWW! Susan #2
Dear Jan! First of all: I'm so thankfull because you wrote your blog in bigger letters! This is so fine for my eyes! The jewellery wallets will sell well. Great job. And sometimes in the morning I look like the blonde hedgehog. I'm so sorry to read about Need. Sorrows will never end?
Best wishes! Eva from Austria.
So sorry to hear about Neet, Jan. Loving that bright cheerful print. Glad the weather held for your walk on the beach. Stay safe and Happy belated WOYWW. Sarah
Damn internet. Lost my connection, lost my comment. Short 2nd try - love the fabric, and my sample egg for cozies will fall prey to Hubby if I don't get knitting soon... Happy Internet Issues (still) WOYWW!

ooh poor Neet, thanks for the update though and virtual hugs to her. Hope the RNLI stall went ok yesterday, loving your new design and wondering if there was a little ribbon "hook" on the cover maybe it could be hung when open from a door hook when in a hotel etc? Kyla
Hi Jan
You always come up with something, cute and fantastic. I love the hedgehog. I think most women can relate. LOL
The walk on the beach sounds heavenly!
Creative Blessings & Hugs!
