countdown to my first craft fair!!

well i've bitten the bullet, made the move and all other cliches by signing up to do my first craft fair with one of my oldest friends, Sarah. Oldest as in we've known each other since we were 7 + 8, not that she's 92. we're both always crafting and talking about it when we meet up so we're going for it and doing a Christmas craft fair at Sedgefield Racecourse in .......5 days. eeeek!! lots to do. but at least it means i might actually stay up to date with blogging this week!!
here are some of the christmas decorations i'll be selling - you've already seen the gorgeous lil reindeer.

cupcake flags

morning!

my best friend is getting married in May and we came up with an awesome idea for place setting names..... 

originally, each setting was going to have a plain cupcake with a plate as the centrepiece with icing, sprinkles, sweeties etc but we thought 

                a) this is in May, in a barn in the countryside so will attract bugs.

                b) people won't want to get fancy clothes covered with pink icing and chocolate sprinkles

SOOO

the new plan is for the other maid of honour to bake everyone a cake, decorate it very simply and then pop a flag with their name into it!! 

here are the flags (to match the sweet pea colour scheme) obviously without names - still waiting for rsvps

cute?!

a l l l l l l the flags!

AAAAAAAAAARGHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!

i have been SO UTTERLY RUBBISH. although i have been making tonnes of stuff . . . . . . . .
all of it working out nicely, except for a TOTAL pinstrosity ((see below)) i know the instructions were teeny tiny pictures - - - but still, it's shocking.
here 'it' is:

here is his little face.
i kept trying to make it look better.
nothing really worked.

and here is his little bottom.
i think the tail actually works in a naive kind of style.
kind of.

i mean, look at it!!! bah ha ha >> disaster


this is this link to the set of instructions - - - and how my little sock weirdo should have turned out....

   hey ho......

love and peace y'alllllllll xxxxxxxxxxx

friendship bracelets!

oh wow........
when i was little (well, in school) i ALWAYS wanted to know how to make proper friendship bracelets, but i only knew how to do plaits and macrame twists. and now, thanks to this PERFECT set of instructions from http://honestlywtf.com/diy/diy-friendship-bracelet/ i have now made my first one ....age 27 :)
here it is.....and yes, the left end is where i started hence it looking a bit ropey [lolz] but as you look left to right you gotta admit it gets better!!
