D-day!

Today is the Makers market in Newburgh! I've been selling my stuff there for the last couple of years but I never been! So, as a revenge, my friends are planning to let me man the stall on my own - LOL. Our stall is outside so I am warmly dressed up. We are lucky, the weather is supposed to be dry and sunny :o)
This year, I learned how to make granny squares and turned them into coasters and needle cases using 100% wool felt:

Needle cases (11 x 11cm):

Off I go! I'll report later....

Back to basic

I've made a couple more keyrings for next Saturday's craft fayre,

and a couple more brooches with some Rowan felted tweed left over.

Then, the weather having turned quite chilly this weekend I decided to knit myself another pair of socks. Hand knitted socks are really comfy and warm, perfect for cycling to work everyday :o)
I am using a basic toe-up pattern from Simply Knitting magazine (no 38, March 2008).

Enjoy the rest of your weekend :o)

Craft Fayre 1

I've done my first craft fayre today!
Well, it wasn't very busy but I managed to sell a few things.
I took a couple of pictures but they are not very good.
Before:

After:
It looks very busy. We reorganized things a little later but I forgot to take a picture.

Well, the next one (14th November) should be much better, it is a proper craft fayre (this one was at my work place). Unfortunately, I won't be able to attend this one because I am traveling to France on that day, but, luckily, my friends will (hopefully) sell my stuff for me. I probably won't blog about it but I am sure Di will, so don't forget to check her blog in a couple of weeks.

Keyrings

Yesterday evening I had a bit of fun with some felt... I just wanted to show you...

And tonight, I made these...


They might end up on the table on Wednesday :o)
