The Party and Craft Fair Prep

Just a quick post from me as Im so so busy getting ready for the craft fair on Sunday.  Why is it that, no matter how much I try to get ready in advance, I always seem to be rushing!??  I'm still snipping stuff out, got to sew everything and start pricing and labelling.  If anyone knows of a way I can cram a few hours into my day, I'd appreciate it!!

I've also had a few orders from Folksy recently, which is amazing!!  Someone has bought quite a few ice-cream toppers - maybe they are scrapbooking about summer?  Either way, if you fancy taking a look, they can be found in my shop here.

Perfect of creating scrapbook pages of the summer!
Also, I had to stop by to say that my lovely nephew was one last week and his party was a resounding success!  Not that he knew about it, but the photos will tell a fab story when he looks back on them in years to come.  My lovely sis put on an amazing spread, we had some fab Mickey Mouse decorations, plus a few handmade touches from me!!


Painted number 1 and polystyrene mickey heads!

Mickey Centre Piece!

We've got ears say cheers!!

Too much yummy stuff!

I had so many other things planned for Neo's party that I wanted to make, but with Lillie being ill from Wednesday to Saturday, I just ran out of time.  I did make these though....

Party bag favours with cardboard micky ears

Special party bags for the big brother and sister!
Im hoping my next post will be one full of pictures of stock ready to take to the fair, but we will see!!  Madison goes back to school tomorrow so maybe I'll get a bit more time to sew.

Until next time x x

My Very Crafty Friend...

I cant believe the summer holidays are coming to an end.  Well, there are two weeks left until Maddy goes back to school.  We've had another fun week of visiting a county park, going to the beach (again - you can never go to the beach too much!) and we've also had a birthday party.

The birthday party was for a friends little girl who was three last weekend.  Now, Im so jealous of this friend!  She throws amazing parties for her kids with the cutest themes and this time, she surpassed herself!!  Her daughter loves Ben and Holly so this year my friend did a "Elves and Fairies" party, complete with hand-tied tutus and twirling wands for the girls and elf hats and sticks for the boys.

I think you'll agree, all the kids looked too cute!!

Too cute as a fairy!


Maddy looks made to wear fairy wings!

Beautiful detail from the back 

My gorgeous handsome nephew really suited that hat!
My amazing crafty friend sells all her fab makes on ebay, which you can find HERE!

Some other bits she made for the party (which Im also very jealous of - in an admiring way of course) included...



Amazing table decoration


I've been busy finishing off orders from the last craft fair I did.  I've posted them off today so hope to post pictures of them soon!  Im also getting ready for the next craft fair which will be in Cwmbran on 11th Setpember.  Its the first one so fingers crossed, it will be busy!!

Bye for now! x x
