Right, here goes attempt no. 2.  I tried posting from my phone yesterday as the pics I wanted were on there and I didn't know how to get them onto my laptop. Anyhoo, after my phone did that whirling downloading/uploading thing for over n1 1/2 hrs I just shut it down. I have just benn fiddling with the connection lead thingy and I really rather think I have managed to get my pics from phone to laptop-Wee Hee!!!!!!......So, here goes X (that's my fingers crossed)

After a few too many manic weeks of creating for my stall, I spent a very slow, long  weekend sat behind my wares (with as many fag breaks thrown in as I could wangle, and some hooking too). Being such a spreader I had to pay for 2 stalls, so I'm rather disappointed that I didn't manage to cover my stall costs. There never seems to be any rhyme nor reason as to why the same venue can work one time and not the next? A girl has to keep on trying though

So.....after manic, followed by slow and uneventful, both of which are really rather tiring, I spent my day off work yesterday in front of Beatrice (my trusty old french burner) catching up on Kirstie's Vintage Home, Grand Designs and George Clarkes Amazing Spaces, and hooking a cushion order. Amazing spaces holds a particular interest for me as we own 4 vintage vans, two which are rented out, and two for ourselves, take a peep at www.cutecaravans.co.uk/. Wow!!!!!, what amazing things he did with his van. I oh so loved the drop down side and swing out kitchen.

Anyway, time for a couple of stall pics (they ain't great as I took them, my trusty photo man seemed to be out of action over the weekend)



yep, both tables were mine
 
 


I seem to have an overload of cushions





and now a few pics of some of my creations during the manic weeks

and now I should get back to more creating, I've booked a last minute stall in my local town on Sunday

Having seen Twilight this evening I have decided I definitely want to be a Vampire

Living room



How I love the low sun at this time of year. It puts such a rosy, cosy glow on everything

Now that's what I call jammy :-)

Had no more of this wool left, and was convinced there wasn't enough to finish the scarf



This winter's hat and scarf sets, as modelled by my oh so beautiful gal.






both made by me :-) (ok, I did have a little help with my gal)

....seeing as I might be getting the hang of this I'll put up some more pics. I'm thinking now I'd like to learn how to post with text inbetween pics
