Updates and Craft Fairs

Sorry havent been round, what seems like weeks, but getting over a bad case of the sickness bug, which hubby delightfully transferred to me!  so haven't been blogging much, anyway feeling a bit better now, but very tired and could literally fall alseep, not a bad thing hubby says, its kept me quiet.

So the henny girls have all settled in and making quite a name for themselves Tatianna (Bluebelle) we think laid her first egg on Monday, but it was very tiny and broken, but she seems to spend a bit of time in the nest box, I suppose they will get into the routine of laying eggs soon, hopefully.

Have been trying to get ready for the Craft and Gift Fayre at St Marys Church Hall, Bridport on Saturday 26th May 10 a.m. - 3 p.m.

Had to make quite a few as there is another fair on the 9th June so not leaving much time inbetween to stock up, heres a bit of what I  have been making

These cards were inspired by an old photo album I purchased here in Briport for a small sum, all the pictures were taken around West Bay and area in the 1920s, some even have the names on the back, so getting to know these people and how they spent there holidays!  I wanted to create a British seaside theme, so hope I've managed to capture that....





Jubilee inspired, didn't make many of these, just to get into the spirit!


Some Lavender bags and pincushions made with Liberty fabric and felt



So hope I can shift a bit of this on Saturday as hopefully want to do a different themed card every month, dont know it this will happen or not!

We did manage a trip to Bournemuth last week as eccentric daughter said she would like some new summer clothes, hubbys face was a picture when she arrived with a huge bag full, but soon settled down when she told him it was from Primark and 3 pairs of jeans were included!

Just show you this piccy of the mad dog with a spit face  having just enjoyed licking the McFlurry icecream carton from MacDondalds!
