I have been really busy this last week trying to make moulds and to cast some new Fairy Doors.  My wooden doors are taking sooooooo long to make that it is hardly worth my while, by the time I have marked out the wood, routed, cut, shaped, rough sanded, smooth sanded and done the final [...]

Well, it has happened, smallest munchkin is now in school full time - boo! but it does now mean I have more free time - yay! but now I have to do all the things I said i couldn’t do before, as I was short of time - boo!

Eek dear blog it has been too long, I didn’t mean to let this slip so far.

When my [...]

Yesterdays craft fair went well, not brilliant but well. It was quite a small venue with only around twelve crafters. The organisers worked very hard and made sure there was a steady stream of visitors throughout the day and the other crafters were a friendly bunch. I am not sure if I am free to [...]

All my boxes are packed for my fair tomorrow, looking forward to it as I feel I haven’t done a fair in aaaaages.
Thought of another reason for a badge maker - I could put badges on cards, how radical is that
I also want to try needle felting just what I need in my [...]

Didn’t mean to be away for so long - real life got in the way again!
Well I am back from my holidays we had a great time, got a few crafty ideas up my sleeve whilst I was away too so that is good.
