My new Sewing Basket

This beautiful sewing basket is what I spent some of my birthday money on. Many thanks to my generous in-laws!

My Scotty

Here is my first attempt at the puppy from McCall's Crafts pattern M4893. In the 3rd photo he looks like a flying pig! (Which gave me an idea of using the pattern to make a pig, do him in pink and give him bigger rounder nose for a snout! If only I could make things as quickly as I think of them!) So back to the puppy, I changed his eyes, cos I thought they were too small and I sewed a few stitches in his ears to make them fold down. I am hoping to sell him and more like him at a craft fair. How much do you think I should sell him for?

Resound Craft Fair

Getting ready for next craft fair on Saturday 1 December at Resound Church, Blackhorse Road, Downend/Mangotsfield, Bristol. Do come along and see lots of local crafters' wares! These are Xmas Holiday Stockings cut ready to sew. I used up every scrap of Xmas fabric...I cut hexagons and triangles for patchwork and then used the remaining tiny scraps as a mosaic on a wooden heart I acquired at a Garden Nursery!
