 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

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.
