9th February 2013

Sorry there's been such a long time between posts and this one will be a shortie.

Since I last posted things went a bit mad.  I did the christmas craft fair, it was only a little one but I sold over half the cushions I'd made.  The favourite ones (went first) were the red cusions with LOVE on them.  A little 2 year old boy fell in love with the penguin one and proudly cuddled it away from the stall courtesy of grandma.

It seemed that Grandmas liked to buy the cushions for their grandchildren.  One of the cushions went to a mum at school and apparently ever since her daughter had it for her birthday she's slept with it every night.  That't good to hear.

I haven't managed to get down to the studio since christmas and I'd started making a bag with applique elephants.  Even with the heater on it's been cold down there with all the snow but that should be fixed now as Dave has bought me a Calor Gas heater which should make the studio toasty.  Fingers crossed.  He's even said I can go and play for a bit tomorrow.  Think he wants some peace and quiet.  Don't blame him really.

Today was Sarah's party for her 14th birthday.  Five girls and Frankie and Benny's.  I left them to it and went over to Eat Central for Pizza, Salad and Garlic Bread.  Got back in time for singing Happy Birthday and sharing the birthday Cookie.  Pictures will follow but too tired now.

I've finally finished a jumper and a hat that I was knitting and I'm about to finish up a baby cardigan for the maternity hospital.

I've been thinking of lots of ideas of things I can make with a view to selling them at craft fairs and need to start getting some of them down on paper before I forget what they are.  There are a few cushions left and I will make some more but I must find out when they are one and prepare for them.

Will try and post more often and also to get some pictures on here.  Will let you know if the new heater is any good.
