And the winners are....

Congratulations!!

The winner of the Mollie Makes book is Kelly

and well done to Catherine Etter who has won the parrot prototype!

Thanks to all who entered.

I will leave you with this fun whale I made earlier in the week!

Bye for now!

All the fun of the fair!

The Contemporary Craft Fair, that is!

It seems a bit of a blur now....this is my stand at the beginning of the show

and a little snap of me selling my wares (thanks Lyndsey James Photography!)

It was such a great event: the sun shone, visitors came in their droves, and there was the usual excellent array of crafts.

The highlight of my weekend though was doing a swap with the amazing Katrin Moye. She chose a few of my houses and I eventually decided on these beauties!!

I was exhausted by the end of the 3 days (thanks to all of you fellow bloggers who came and said hi, it was so wonderful meeting you!), but after a few days of taking it easy, I was back in my shed, doing what I love best!

This piece, named "Harbour Street", is my new favourite. The base is a great bit of curved hardwood - once part of a boat - with the original nails still intact....perfect for tethering a few boats to!

Finally, I just want to say thanks for such a great response to my last post! There is still time to enter the giveaway - you have until the evening of Saturday 22nd. Good luck!

Mollie Makes Feathered Friends Giveaway!

 It seems like ages since I created anything with fabric, but I was delighted when Mollie Makes approached me to make something new for a future book, to be entitled "Feathered Friends".
 And nearly 12 months later, here it is!!

 Very exciting!

It contains over 20 projects with clear step-by-step instructions.....

....featuring crochet, sewing, knitting and more!

And here is my little contribution!

The book is published by Collins & Brown and is available here, but I have a copy to give away!!

And I am going to offer a separate prize - the prototype I made!

Who's a pretty boy then?!

To be in with a chance of winning either the book or the finished parrot, all you have to do is leave a comment underneath. I will announce the winners on Saturday 22nd June. Good luck everyone!

Butterflies.....

I shall be packing up the van tomorrow and heading off for the event of the year, The Contemporary Craft Festival! This year should be extra special as they are celebrating their 10 year anniversary. Hope some of you can make it - if so, come and say hello! (I'm very friendly!)
