Well it seems ages since I last wrote in the blog. Where has time gone to? Well I have been rather busy in the sewing room - getting ready for all of the craft fairs that are coming up between now and Christmas. Yes....Christmas! Oh my goodness. No sooner have the kids gone back to school than we see all the cards and presents in the shops for Christmas. If you can't beat them, then join them.
So I have put together a small, so far, collection for the present buying season. I start this weekend at Nostell Priory Craft Fair. Why not come along and see for yourself what delights there are and start your shopping early and take the stress out of the coming months.
Look out for my new "Head Gardener" Apron, selection of doorstops and notice boards, and laundry bags. It's so exciting... being creative!!!
