Love Craft

Phew, what a brilliant but tiring day! My first venture into the field of craft fairs and I am so chuffed by everyone's positive reaction! I must admit, I really enjoyed 'playing shop' for the day and have certainly been bitten by the bug. I am not sure when I will do my next one or where but I have certainly been encouraged to do more. I am slightly gutted that my first sale was a bag I was going to keep....Typical!

It's been a while!

I have been such a busy little bee that I haven't had time to update the blog! Anyway, I have eventually found a moment to do just that..so here is what I have been up to:

1) I attended the Donna Wilson Cushion workshop a few weeks ago at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park. What a great few hours! Attendeed were able to choose between two of Donna's signature pieces...a stormy rain cloud cushion or a fox face cushion (you were allowed to add your own twist!) I decided to do the sweet little rain cloud, although I must admit it was pretty difficult to decide! Pictured below is my effort.... It was lovely to meet Donna, such a lovely, sweet , down to earth person! See my effort and Donna here!

2) I also managed to get my hands on one of Donna's arrows when her exhibition finished at the Yorkshire Sculpture Park last weekend....Very sad to see it go BUT very happy to get my lovely arrow!

3) I have been very quiet on here lately as it is LOVE CRAFT at the Barnsley Civic next weekend, I cannot believe how quickly it seems to have crept up...My poor sewing machine has been on non-stop for the past few weeks...Hopefully I will manage to sell something!
