I JUST CAN'T GET ENOUGH...
After a sad couple of weeks, things have settled down a bit. I sent a card to Sarah's sons and family, they've mentioned that if people want to then they're collecting donations to the British Heart Foundation in lieu of flowers - there are no details about the funeral yet either.
I have had an odd week, alternating between really busy and feeling really meh after a shingles jab last Thursday, it affected me a lot but better than getting the real thing. Consequently I did quite a lot of knitting whilst sitting on the sofa not feeling like doing much else!
This has been my view for a few days! I did have a fair last Saturday so went to set it up then four of the RNLI craft group gals stood in to run it - I was very grateful to them as it meant I could go home and rest again.
There was a nice mix of autumn and some Christmas stuff and we did ok. I look an awful lot better than I felt in this photo lol!
The knitted hedgehogs with the Terry's Choc Oranges in have continued to be a top seller so a few of us are knitting replacements like crazy.
They're breeding fast....Lol!
So are the Ferrero Rocher characters....
And this lot want all the attention too! Ah well, it's keeping me busy, no chance of being bored......
I have a stall at a Toy and Train fair this Saturday, I was invited to go along by an RNLI buddy so thought I'd give it a go. I have no idea how it'll pan out, either brilliant or I won't sell anything at all, it's worth a try though eh?!
Hope you're all keeping well and happy and that you're enjoying your crafting. Long Live WOYWW, the original and best desky link up, only at Julia's Stamping Ground!!

sorry you were feeling meh after your jab - but the stall looked great. I hope the fair goes well this weekend too! You are certainly knitting well for it! Happy WOYWW Helen
The shingles jab was my worst too :-( Hope you're feeling better soon. The Fair looked amazing...well done to all those who helped you as well as you for setting it up. I love the hedgehogs.
Hugs,

Happy busy-day WOYWW
Off to take DD to her hair appointment first thing, then knitting. Can't believe she will be 30!! What a lovely lot of goodies for the stall. Fabulous hedgehogs. Love them all. And I love my yarn winder too - funny but I am happy to re-cake a floppy ball any time I have to cut the yarn. I have it on my desk at the moment cause I am all about the knitting of scrappy yarn jumpers right now and with it RIGHT THERE I just use it all the time. Thanks for the recco! MWAH.

I've got to make some of those hedgehogs! They look so good in a huddle like that. I hope you are feeling better. These jabs do weird things to us but hopefully it does some good in the long run. Sending a healing hug - x x Jo 🌈
We were the same when we had the shingles jab but it's worth it of course. Off for the flu jab tomorrow. Your collection of knitted creatures is amazing, especially love the hedgehogs. Have a great woyww. Hugs Angela x7x
My shingles jabs made me meh as well-the second one more so than the first. I have had shingles but was still advised to have the jab as it should moderate the symptoms if I have it again. Take care and rest up until the effects lessen. Catriona
Interesting comment about Shingles jab from Catriona, I’m going to have to ask about that. Hope you’re feeling a bit stronger by now. So interesting to hear about the knitty best sellers, and I love the pumpkins on the stall, wouldn’t they fill a bowl nicely! Good luck with the toy fair, I expect you’ll do pretty well, some toys are so expensive, your sensible prices might come as a huge relief!
Thanks for linking me today Jan. Sorry you’ve felt rough from your jab. I’ve not been offered one yet. Your hedgehogs are so cute, I’m not surprised they sell well and your Rocher kids are great too.
Enjoy your toy train show 😂

Hello Jan, so sorry to hear of your reaction to the jab. Good to hear your on the mend. I've not been offered the shingles one yet but just this week a letter offering both the flu and the Covid arrived. As I always have a bad reaction to both I'm in two minds about whether to go for them. I'm glad the sale went well and those adorable hedgehogs are a best seller. Having so many choc oranges would be too tempting for me - how do you resist? Hope the next sale goes well - it sounds an interesting one. Have a good week. Hugs, Elizabeth x #10
Well I wish I were as prolific feeling meh and sitting on sofa. All I manage is watching TV and eating stuff I really shouldn't! Not surprised the chocolate orange hedgehogs go well, I wonder what people put in them after eating the chocolate? or in the Rocher ones for that matter, tennis ball/bouncy ball perchance? Stranger things to ponder I'm sure. Hugs Bj#13
I’ve done art shows in the past, but it’s been at least 6 years since my last one. I love all your stuff, and just noticed the sweet Ferrero Rocher kitty cats that you make. Happy WOYWW!
