Busy busy


Well I guess I'm not the only one to have a lot on at this time of year, where is the time going to? I did a two day fair at the weekend which was surprisingly well supported and people were spending, oh yes Christmas is coming! I met some really nice crafty people there including Penny Varley a ceramicist and Amy who makes felted bags and jewellery. It's great to watch other people working at their crafts and I was definitely taken with the idea of trying some felting after watching Amy's demonstrations. I've also been busy with those knitting needles and have started on a shrug using some really lurid pink fizzy wool, it's going to be a really fun thing to wear I hope. Well I guess I should get back to my crafting desk but before I go take a look at the rings above, I have been having fun playing around with different styles.

Buttons!

Couldn't resist having a go at making covered buttons. Lots of my fellow crafters on Crafts forum have been creating these so I thought it was high time for me to join in and here is the result - my first little batch of tartan buttons. I really enjoyed making them so I can feel a lot more button-making coming on in the near future!
Meantime I had better get working on some new stuff for next Saturday's craft fair at The Claremont in Rugby town centre. Organised by Craft Forum's Critchley, this one is in aid of Help The Aged so it's good to know that money is going to a good cause and I am hoping to meet up with other forum members there.
