Pukin’ Pumpkin

Well thought it might be good to get back into this blogging lark! So just to surprise everyone I am going to post a photo, yes an actual photo on this blog, who’d have thought it eh?

This is our Pukin’ Pumkin that we made for middle munchkins Cub Halloween party.  He was over the moon [...]

Busy Busy

Been busy again.  I have not done much crafting recently because the fairs have been a bit pants  I have been busy with the boys and all the back to school - after school - weekend activities stuff!
I did a craft fair this weekend and it was actually brilliant for me which was great.  [...]

Surfin’

I have had one of those days where I have just surfed surfed and surfed some more.  I have visited lots of forums and found a few new crafty projects to try.
I ordered a little needle felting kit from Ebay and while I wait (impatiently) for this to arrive I have been looking at a [...]

Been Too Long

Eek dear blog it has been too long, I didn’t mean to let this slip so far.
Well I have been there and done that, an Alcraft craft fair at our new venue at The Corinthian Bar, Ingram Street.  It was a bit of a weird experience with all the people and wares being so familiar [...]

Tallest munchkin needs to practise throwing and catching (For his Occupational Therapy) so we needed some bean bags as they are easier to catch than balls. I bought some split peas to fill them as they were the cheapest [...]

Boxes Are Packed

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 [...]

Should I Buy It?

I hardly buy myself anything, ever. I rarely buy clothes and I hardly ever buy something for no good reason.  There is one thing I have wanted for ages well years actually and I only want it ‘because I do’ it is a badge maker.  Middle munchkin has a plastic one that does make badges [...]

Well well well who’d have thought it! Since I last blogged I have actually done some things. The downside now is all the photos are on my main computer and I am blogging from my laptop so I can’t actually show you any of these things yet but I will try and change that tomorrow.
What [...]

Update

After not selling much at my last fair I obviously don’t have much restocking to do. I do feel I need to make a few new Fathers Day cards because all my Fathers Day stock is from last year, although thinking about it my next fair will be the day before Fathers Day so unless [...]
