I am fast disappearing ..... and a 'gift-away'



I am fast disappearing .....
..... under a mountain of fabric, thread and paper.



The cottage is too.
Almost every available surface ...
...  is piled with bunting, bunnies, hearts and unfinished projects.



Sewing, making, pricing and packing.


Scarcely any time to read my favourite blogs
Let alone pen a post.
Or, do much else really ... 
... other than prepare.


For the Country Living Spring Fair.
The weeks are speeding past at an alarming rate.
The fair looming far too fast coming up very, very soon
Three weeks in fact


How did that happen???
Where did the time go??!!
Frazzled? … Yes, a little.
Getting into a frenzied state of disarray excited though
Occasionally, need to take time out from needle and thread.


 To bake.
Or walk.
To play with Dilbert who vies for my attention by using handmade items as missiles and his little kitty toys.


He loves that.
Or, I go and talk to the girls.
They are always happy to stop digging for a quick gossip.
Or to set their henny world to rights.



Before I return to pricing
And packing


And all those laborious last minute jobs that seem to take forever.
That only those who make and sell can truly appreciate.

I hope that you can pop in and say hello if you are there.

  5. It all sounds so very lovely and your creations look marvelous - I love the vintagey button cards - they are adorable.
    I wish I could go but it's a bit too much of a hike for me, so I wish you the best luck in selling lots and having a wonderful time!
