The last market went really well for me... so much so that I am now having to make more swans for this market which I am booked for. Why not come and see the gorgeous decorations (and Christmas cat ornaments ) I have been making? Lots of lovely little goodies...angels, small books, collaged art pieces....

​I had a good day at the market on Saturday, although it was very quiet for many of the stallholders. My swans were a huge hit and I only have one left. I am booked to do the Pretty Christmas market in the Stoke Memorial Hall on Sunday 10th December so will need to make some more. I sold several of the small Christmas cats, an assortment of other decorations and lots of the small books.

Sorry... somehow managed to post the same photo twice. Here is one of my 'princess swans'  which uses all sorts of ephemera... each one is different.

For the past 6 weeks I have been hobbling around after tearing the ligaments in my right knee.
​Really painful and very annoying. I have been using the time whilst resting with it up to hand stitch some small Christmas ornaments for the upcoming Unique Crafters market on November 18th at the Trafalgar St hall Nelson 9am-3pm. I will have a selection of ornaments, collaged works, small books, dolls and some of my kits for sale. why not come and see us if you are around?
