25th May

A very busy sewing week!
The small bags made from owl print fabrics have sold well at the last couple of fairs so having bought a wider range of fabrics I set about making 14. It is surprsing how long it took to make them even though I had a mini production line doing each stage at a time  across all 14 bags.
I also made some pincushions to match the needle cases. I made these using 8 small squares (2.5inch) so good for using up scraps.
On the yarn front I have crocheted more brooches with Romano and knitted baby bootees for Lynne's baby stall which will be packaged for gifting. 
I had one felted bag kit left so decided to knit it up asit looked lost as a kit on it's own.
Let's hope there is a good turn out tomorrow. I never make a profit but it is good to sell a few items and bring a smile to someone's face.

May 2nd

Another craft fair on Bank holiday Monday so I have spent sometime this week developing new products and building up stock.
Lynne has a couple of pink baby blankets so I have made a blue crochet one to redress the balance. It is a little different to the traditional granny square and a liitle more difficult to crochet but I believe it has been well worth the effort.
