Christmas Fairs and busy, busy, busy!!

I have turned into the worst blogger ever!!  
A combination of the Munchkin now being mobile (and into EVERYTHING!!!) and being super busy sewing up some lovely things has meant my computer time has been limited.
I can't describe the pleasure I get or how honoured I feel (cheesy I know) knowing that people will be excited about giving things that I have made, as presents this Christmas!
Here are a couple of my latest sales....... x

Scottish Smallholder and Growers Festival

I am really excited to be taking part in the first ever Scottish Smallholder and Growers Festival in Forfar on September the 30th.

I will be having a craft stand so if you are in the area I would love to see you!

I'm afraid my Smallholdings knowledge is pretty  non-existant...... pig = pork..... chickens = eggs.... but my sister, who has bred horses for years, has really been getting into it.  Planting veg, making chutneys, lots of fresh eggs.

This year she has kept her firsts pigs

which have just gone off to the slaughterhouse and we're really looking forward to the pork return! It's been great for the children to have such a real, hands on experience with where their food comes from.

There will be lots of demonstrations, presentations and of course competitions and I'm really looking forward to seeing what makes a prize pig!

It looks like a fun, informative and educational day out for all of the family and I challenge anyone not to be inspired to eat more locally produced fare by the time they leave!

Craft Fair and Catch Up....

Eeeek, I'm falling behind with keeping up to date!

Since my last post we've had the Vintage Fair in Inverness and I've had a busy few days with Etsy orders and a couple of custom orders which is always nice!

Badges, hair clips and wallets

My wee helper peeking over!

 

 

I only took a couple of pics at the beginning of the fair (and they didn't turn out that great!) the weather was horrendous in Inverness so the fair was unfortunately quiet but I met some lovely people and have had a leap of Facebook likes and orders since so it was definitely worth travelling through fo, and it's always lovely to meet up with other like minded people!
