Christmas CraftFest Extravaganza - Blues part 1
In just 4 days, CraftFest will be live for a whole week. Once again I shall be in excellent company - there's a huge range of lovely gifts and other lovely things! Ideal for your Christmas shopping!
As usual, I am poorly prepared and running out of time to complete everything I wanted to achieve but that's hardly news...
Anyway, the point of this blog post is to promote stalls from the Blue team - so here goes!
Cola Creations
Decorque
Enoch and Plonk
Outta Our Minds
Steph Made it for You
Willow Eyes
Well, that should be enough to be going on with! I'll be sharing more great stalls with you over the next few days. It would be great if you could visit CraftFest between the 24th November and 1st December: there's so much to see.
See you there!

30 Days of Creativity - Day 1
June is here! How did that happen? I wasn't ready!
I thought I was ready but, now it's here, I find that I wasn't. I also wasn't prepared for how much else would try to get in the way today.
I am, therefore, easing myself gently into the challenge. Simple works today. Simple gives me the space to allow my jumbled brain some respite from to-do lists, "should-dos" and approaching deadlines.
Inspiration came from a walk down the high street today. Our town, like the rest of the UK, is currently drowning in bunting (for the Queen's jubilee). It lines the streets and links the streetlights. It adorns railings and flutters from the guttering. It features in every shop window display.
I thought our little house was missing out. So bunting became my first 30DoC project. But I have made miniature fabric bunting before and big bunting would require ladders (shudder!).
So I took a look at my stash and was drawn to paper. Some colourful patterned paper that came free in the latest copy of Craftseller magazine, to be precise. I like freebies: useful freebies are by far the best kind. Team
that with some crochet cotton (not free exactly but not a colour I'm
likely to use) and I'm ready to go.
I cut the paper into strips and the strips into triangles
Then I glued the triangles along the strings. Easy peasy.
Then it was all ready to hang up at the windows...
...(you can just see the bunting on the house opposite)...
...I think it looks quite good!
Sometimes simple is best. Sometimes simple is just the best that can be expected! Tomorrow, I would like to be a little more adventurous... fingers crossed that nothing else gets in the way.
The bunting does, however, make an excellent frame for my CraftFest poster!

CRAFTfest: June 2012
I have signed up to take part in the the June CRAFTfest: an online craft event with, so far, over 150 stalls!
I'm really looking foward to it. I'm hoping it'll be a great networking opportunity and I might even manage to get to grips with the dreaded Twitter!
Here's the poster:
During the event, CRAFTfest will take over the Creative Connections site to become one giant online craft fair. You will be able to see what people have for sale, chat with the makers and more.
If you would like a stall then you need to visit this site - but hurry, all stalls must be booked by the 25th May!
Getting so excited! Just hope I can get enough stock finished to make the most of the opportunity! It would be lovely if you could make it over to the site at some point during the week!
