The Winter Market is next weekend!! I am super excited and have made all the family, including me some labels. The winter scene is down by the ford in Hall Green where the market is taking place. The photo was taken by my Brother, Theo who is a super photographer and film maker. Our stall is going to have a right mixture of crafty delights, from record clocks, to tea cosy’s and Christmas cards. If you’re in Birmingham, pop down to say hello!
I was on my way back from Hobbycraft when I saw this delight! I shouted ‘quick, stop!’ in excitement. I like the different positions they’re in.
Yesterday was a horrible day for weather! I was sat in the car, waiting for my friend and I decided to do a little video of the rain through the windscreen of the car.
I have been working away all day in my own little world and this is what I’ve made:
I am hoping that people will like them! I have certainty enjoyed making them. The records have a life of their own and every one of them turns out a different shape.
I am really enjoying making things at the moment! Yesterday I went home to see my family and my Mum taught me how to make bobbles out of wool, and I got slightly addicted. It was extremely therapeutic and will make super Christmas decorations.
The two things I am making to sell at the Winter Market in Hall Green are Record clocks, bowls/plant pots and framed pin cushions for your notes, photos, as well as ones designed to hang all your earrings on. Here are two I made earlier:
Here is the info about the Winter Market which my parents are involved in organising. We are going to have a family stall and should be a super day!
My friend Phil just sent me this delight! I love the leaves on the floor and the plastic bag that looks like it’s waiting for someone to pick it up!
This weekend, me and Al have been working hard to turn our spare room (of doom) into a space that has the ultimate storage. This involved a after work Friday night trip to Ikea to buy shelves (fairly grim prospect but actually lots of fun!) and a lot of throwing away, moving and building on Saturday. It was worth it as there is now a space in my home where I can make mess and be creative, without inflicting it on the rest of the house. Yippeee!
Yes, it’s true! I have been on a lovely walk around Sherwood in the autumn sunshine and three garages caught my eye. I think they are super and I don’t think it’s garage envy because I don’t have one. I like the fact they look well used or forgotten about, it’s a fine line.
Look at the colours, they are just incredible today!
