What a Wreath!!

Thanks for your lovely comments on my last post.

I am definitely going to try to get to all my lovely followers

blogs and catch up on housework!!

This small wreath is having it's first outing to a 

Craft Fayre tomorrow, at a school in Martham, Norfolk.

The ribbon I bought from a friend Teresa Carter, who retails 

under the name 'Butterflies'. She goes to most

of the Fayres at The Cliff and also does the Beccles

Farmers Market twice a month.

I usually keep her ribbons in a bag and not use them, 

as they are so beautiful. 

She gave me some last week and insisted I use them!!!

The tree and base wreath came from Hobbycraft.

The picture doesn't show the ribbon at it's best.

Maybe it will if you click on it.

Well that's it for tonight, as I have to get up at 06.15 tomorrow!!

Craft Fayre number 28!!

Thank you for stopping by and

hope you will visit again!!

PS: Just clicked on picture and it does look better!!

Big hugs, 

Carol

Quirky Tree!!

Just a very quick post, as I am surrounded by half made items for

my next Craft Fair on Sunday.

I have had an amazing time at all my Craft Fairs recently. 

The only problem is, having to make yet more stock for 

the next fairs!!

Sorry I haven't been visiting blogs but I will catch up next week.

This is one of my new makes. Took ages to make and hubby 

said he didn't know how I had the patience to make it.

I liked it so much, that I am keeping this one and making 

another one to sell!!

Have a lovely weekend and thank you for finding time to pop 

into my blog. I promise I will visit you all next week!!

Big Hugs,

Carol

First Outing!!

I decided to make a Santa Workshop with the Fairy Door

I had in my stash.

I took it to the Craft Fayre today for its first outing and sold it!!

I didn't expect it to sell straight away and wasn't bothered

if it took a few Fayres to sell it.

I made the Elf and his Toadstool seat from Air Dry Clay.

I had great fun making him and it took me quite a time to

get him as I wanted him. The body was easy but 

I spent a couple of days to get his head right. Especially

his tiny, pointy ears!!

He has a friend, who was peeking out to see who opened the door!

There are two wooden Unicorns and some parcels, that

he is keeping his eye on!! Lol!!

It was quite funny, as I bought the Fairy Door from The Works

in Lowestoft. One of the ladies that works there, 

came to the Fayre and saw it on my stand and couldn't

believe what I had done with it.

I have used 90 pieces of fabric and 184 pins to make this bauble.

I have topped it with greenery, ribbon, small cones and berries. 

I also have a hole in my thumb!! Lol!! 

I now use a lolly stick to push the tiny pins in!

I have already sold 4 of them!

Just a couple more with different colour mix.

We are back to the Fayre tomorrow and hope it

stays dry for the day.

Thank you for your kind messages on my last post.

I hope to get around to all my lovely bloggers tomorrow

when I get home.

Big hugs,

Carol

Phew!!!

It seems ages since I posted on here!!

I suddenly realised, that as from next weekend, I have 

17 Craft Fayres to do and the last one is December 3rd!!!

So I have been busy making stock. 

Also making Christmas cards and decorations.

The 2 cards here are very quick and easy cards to make.

There are some lovely detailed dies around at the moment.

I do like these edge dies.

Sorry if I miss the odd post of yours but I will get to 

you asap. I do enjoy looking at your makes.

Thanks for taking the time to pop into my little blog.

Especially if you leave me a message, so 

I know you have been.

Big hugs,

Homes For Angels

Hi, all my friendly followers and visitors.

I have at last made homes for my Angels!

The first picture is the one I have made to keep for us!!

All the Angels I have made from Hearty and Artista 

Paper Based, Air Dry Clay.

For the trees, I drew a large tree for a template and 

then made different height sizes. 

The large Angel is the one in my last post.

The small ones I made initially for smaller scenes.

As you can see they are a very simple design.

This is one of the first small scenes I made, before 

I even attempted to make the big Angel.

This is a slightly bigger one and thanks to my 

friend Lorraine's partner, Steve, who cut me the base

from their log stock. I have a few more too!!

Because she looked a bit lost on this piece

I found the little Bunny in my stash.

I covered it with Fluffy Stuff and Glitter.

My Craft Room looks very Christmasy at the moment.

Glitter everywhere!! 

Husband's Birthday today, so having a nice meal tonight.

Thanks for visiting and hope you will leave 

me a lovely message so I know you have been.

Big hugs

Snowy Christmas

Christmas has certainly taken over my craft room!!

I am enjoying making these hangers for my stall. 

I just like to have something different.

I painted the scene and added Anna Marie small Skinny Trees

and of course one of her deer.

The ribbon is a Christmas Text Ribbon from Crafty Ribbons.

You will be amazed at their beautiful Christmas ribbons.

Pop over HERE 

Hopefully someone will like it enough to buy it!!

I have 8 Craft Fairs to do within 4 weeks, so will

keep my fingers crossed!

Thanks for stopping by and your lovely messages

 you leave me, they always make me smile.

Hugs,

Christmas Makes

The week before last I did 3 Craft Fairs.

I sold so much, that I have hardly been out of my craft room since!!

I have also got a few orders for large projects to do.

Here are just a few 'Smalls' for my Christmas Craft Fairs.

On all of the boxes I have used the gorgeous text ribbons

from Crafty Ribbons.

On this little one, I also used their 'Holly Ribbon'.

There is a link to Crafty Ribbons HERE and 

at the top and the bottom of this post.

The next 4 boxes I made from scratch and also added a gift in each.
I sold 3 of the boxes below!

I had some wooden coasters I made with my Brother-in-law.

So just to use them up, I painted a winter scene and added  a

clay snowman I made and die cut trees.

I used the Crafty Ribbon around the edge and as the hanger.

I hope this gives you some ideas to use text ribbon.

They also have some amazing and beautiful ribbons. 

All at very reasonable prices. Some are exclusive, so will 

make your projects very different.

Check them out HERE.

You can also win some on their challenge blog.

HERE is the link to the blog.

Don't forget, you have to be in it to win it!!

I will post a couple of bigger makes soon.

Thanks for stopping by and I love 

reading your messages.

Hugs
