Crafty Market

What a fun day! Weather was wild and wet, the crafts wild and weird. So vmany cool stalls and the food, my lord the strawberry shortcake kept us going for hours. It was myt first time doing this market and I had such a good time I'm going to apply again. Such a great mix of stalls. The Irish design shop was there with some fab silver jewellery and farrell & Chase cards. Bonny Babys little hampers were so cool, were awaiting news on a new cousin on will be buying one of those next time.

Here's the pic's of our lil stall, me ans Aoife Mooney did it together and I think it was here illustrations that got most interest. Cute little girls were a great talking point

Doodle Stitch

Joy of joy's I have a new craft... I'm like a little craft heart breaker. i see them fall head over heels, pledge my life long devotion but then something pretty comes along and zooom I'm gone... Shallow yes?

But join with me in this one, Doodle sticthing, stitch what you like on to anything, no counting boxes, no searching for exact colours or fabrics... love it. Now pass me a hoop I shall be sewing me dears..

Really good book actually, got it on amazon. Clear instructions, step by step of each stitch and tips and hints on using each fabric. Shall I be displying some stitch ware at the Crafty Market? Time will tell....

AWOL

I've been a very bad blogger last two weeks... been sick sniff sniff. Toyed with the idea of it being swine flu then kicked myself for being melodramatic about a head cold. Went to The lovely Julie from refresh on Camden St and got some manuka honey syrup and breath deep tea... Feel so much more alive now.

Read lots of books though to make up for my laziness, or did the just compond my laziness so have to say love The Gargoyle by Andrew Davidson, The other Queen by Phillpa Gregory, The secret scripture by sebastion barry, The 19th Wife by David Ebershoff. Their this weeks books just started on Lady Jane grey by Alison Weir. Didn't know she wrote fiction too love her non fiction tudor works.

Craft wise I've been slooooowww, got some beautiful marble beads so been playing with them, Have a craft fair on the 23rd or 24th of june so must get stuck in... photos to follow I promise
