TWIRLING!

It has taken me a little while, but after my last post, I have been making my twirl necklaces.  Unfortunately, my photography here is not good, for which I apologise - I think my camera is ageing a bit - like me!  and so I'm not sure which of us is to blame!

However, I am really pleased with my necklaces - the colours are deeper and richer in life and my favourite is this one which is in rich blues and lemon with bright green vintage beads in between.

This is the Blossom which is for those who like gentler hues!

And this is the Rose - again the colours are much richer.

More good news is that I have, this morning, sold the last of my stalls for my next Hand-Crafted Home Fair on Saturday 13 April, and so all we need now is some GOOD WEATHER  !!

WARMER WEATHER KNITTING - WE HOPE !!

Thinking what sort of things to knit for my Fairs in the Spring and Summer is always something of a challenge.

So many people associate knitting just with autumn and winter and of course, you can go overboard with hats, scarves, mits, socks etc.

But there is so much more to knitting than that -

I do like my tea cosies, and another one is on the way - Lemon Curd  !

But some time ago I made some knitted twirl necklaces and they proved very popular and so some more are on the way.

Here are some I made earlier!

Apple 

Holly

Rosebud - (Holly and Rosebud look very alike here, but Rosebud was definitely more pink than red).

So I'm off now to make some more twirls  !!

SATURDAY'S FAIR

The weather forecast was for a deluge, but we were lucky as although it was very cold and wet underfoot (everyone coming in from their walks for coffee, lunch and tea were VERY muddy!) it stayed fine and we were quite nicely busy!

Old friends were present - Lesley, Pauline, James and Jamie and our new arrivals were Anna, Helen, Jungyi, Hayley, Belinda and Carla/Rebecca.

All of the stalls looked really great - thank you everyone for all your efforts - and thank you Stanwick Lakes too for your ongoing support.

Here are the pics:

I have only 2 stalls still available for the next Hand-Crafted Home Fair on Saturday 13 April and no jewellery stalls I'm afraid and so if you would like to book don't delay in getting in touch!
