Too much more of this...
and the antique and collectors fair I was all fired up to do was cancelled, mind you I don't suppose I was as disappointed and possibly deeply distressed as all the stallholders who were hoping to do the Lincoln Christmas Market. As one of the busiest and most supported Christmas Fairs in the country I suspect a lot of them rely on this to make most of their annual income. I really feel for them.....
At least my pretty tablecloth embroidered with snowflakes and the acres of red and white bunting I seem to have made won't be wasted...they will now be the centrepiece of my own Christmas decor....the spirit of 1940s make do and mend.....home made decorations...union jacks...parcels wrapped in brown paper with home made tags.....
In the meantime I have kept my self busy with a bit of this....
ably assisted by my little friend.....
and finished a few of these orders.....
Finally I am sorry that the post about York and Harrogate didn't materialise. Both of them turned out to be a bit of a disappointment...not the actual places I hasten to add as I adore both, just the reasons for going, but I will tell all another time, but that will be after I tell you about the super parcel I received today from Shaz at Odd Sox for the Autumn Leaf Swap. I confess I have not posted hers yet, as it has been a bit too treacherous to walk to the Post Office, but it will go this week. We have had no parcels here for a few days and several came at once so it really was a little bit like Christmas.....
THANK YOU Shaz everything is brilliant and I will post about it next.

Ah, funnily enough, the same happened to me on Sunday (a cancelled Fair). I was really geared up for it - sorted, packed, priced, labelled, etc.... But quite glad it wasn't on in some ways - it was outdoor - so very, very cold, and treacherous roads. My next one is the 19th, fingers crossed. Your tablecloth and bunting are great - very festive! LOVE the slippers!
ReplyDeleteAll your makes look really lovely Jenny. I'm sure your home will look really cosy and festive this year. Have a lovely time in brussels.xx Pixie xx

ReplyDeletewell, that was the fair that wasn't!!
ReplyDeleteAt least everything is ready to go when you decide to do the next one, and those homebakes look like a morning very well spent!
Enjoy Brussels (they say brussels are beter after a bit of frost don't they!)
We went to Ghent a couple of years back and I decided I just LOVE Belgium

Shame about the fair and annoying when you spend so much time preparing. The little slippers are really cute and very warm looking. Have a lovely trip.

Your Christmas wares are amazing! Busy crafters rarely have chance to make things for themselves, so enjoy your decorations - they will look gorgeous!

Your makes are lovely, the slippers are gorgeous! Sorry to hear the fair was cancelled, but at least everything will be ready for the next one you do. Have fun in Brussels! :) x
ReplyDeleteI heared that Lincoln Fair was cancelled - my godson was taking his girlfriend there to propose to her! He took her to Manchester and did the deed at the top of the big wheel instead. (She said yes!) The slippers all look very lovely. xxx
