sew and tell..







 With the seasons rolling on the C word gets ever closer.
You may remember me selling my wares last year in 
Rosie Lea tea rooms in Brockenhurst.
So why the sew and tell?
Whilst hunting down venues to sell my wares this year,
I discovered that there is to be a Christmas Fair
held at New Park Brockenhurst
(where they sell Christmas trees)
December 8th&9th.
So today I have the organiser of said fair 
popping round to chat all things crafty.
 I've been hastily gathering anything I can find.
I made these pin cushions in spring with the aim of 
selling in summer!!

I also have a table full of Christmas decorations,
but you'll have to wait..it's too early!

ps. I am not selling my handsewn quilts, no way!
Just showing.
pps. buy handmade
 not mass produced rubbish pretending to be handmade!!

    Do you know about the New Milton Christmas festival?
    I like raisins, not so keen on sultana though!

  14. I love the hexie pincushions. I bought my hexie pincushion when I was 10 from a nice lady at a village fete, twenty-mumble years later it's still going strong but it's getting a bit crowded with ordinary pins, quilting pins and goodness knows how many needles. Good luck with your fairs - love your stuff!

  16. Ciao Bella! Love your PPS. I suddenly threw the dreams of traveling to India to pick gorgeous fabric, design items and get a bunch of women sewing things for me for retail... Nahhhh, If I don't make it there is no love to be found. Thanks for reminding me.
