Another little cardigan....

A cardigan for Zoey!

This is a little cardigan i made for a friends little girl.

It doesn't seem to matter how often I make any of the variations of this sweater it is still always one of my favourites!! This one is made for a friends little girl!!

now on to the next one....

What to make????

Making for the unknown?

So, it seems that there are always so many things to make and so many idea's of what can possibly been done.  Having just had Christmas a couple of days ago many of the last months have been filled with projects for either Christmas gifts and/or fairs.  This is something I love to do but it is also nice to have other things to work on that have a bit more variety.

Our house project is almost finished so once that is done i will get to make some things for the house, as you can imagine i am REALLY looking forward to that.  there is still time to fill before that thought so what to work on until then......

I am in the wonderful position of expecting two new little nieces and/or nephews in the coming months....  I have started a very cute top down sweater for one of the little ones when they arrive.  I just hope one of them will be the correct gender although in saying that we have many friends also expecting so really... the next few months will probably be spent on baby gifts!!  I love to make baby gifts, the yarn is so soft!!

Ealing 135 Christmas Craft Fair

Today Eden and I were at the EALING 135 CHRISTMAS CRAFT FAIR. We had a great day. We both enjoy chatting to the people that come to look at our table and find out what they are looking for and why. It is especially fun at this time of the year when you find out who people at buying for and what they are thinking the people would like.
As much as I enjoy hearing what other people are looking for I am still very glad to be finished all of my Christmas shopping.

Fairy garlands

A friend of ours had her 4th birthday this week. I was tasked with making the fairy garlands. They seem to have been a great success.

The Christmas fair season!

Every year the Christmas fair season sneaks up on me, I am not sure how it happens but it always does!

This year I thought I was extra prepared and then stuff started to sell out..... I guess I am making more stuff before the next one!

so many scarfs......

so many loopy scarfs.....

As i am sure it is for many people that have small home based business' and/or cottage industry type business' the 6-8 weeks before Christmas is busy!!  There is only so much you can prepare in advance of this as often gift giving trends change and if you start too far in advance you can find yourself left with a large stock of last years products that no one really wants.... that would not be good!

These scarfs above are fun to make and last year I had made a couple for gifts and then only two for the first christmas fair. They both sold very quickly so this year i have decided to make a lot more and already have 3 of them reserved for people to collect on the day.  It is great when such a fun to make product goes quickly....... that means i can make more!!

some other fun things i am working on are hair clips, rings, hair clip holders..... well, maybe i shouldn't tell you all of the things as i am sure i will start taking photo's and put more up soon!

My little Dino man!

I love Dinosaurs!! As a grown women there really isn't much of a place for them in my daily life. Having little boys around has always been my Dino outlet!

So, it is no surprise that I have made him a Dino hat for this winter!!
