What a great idea!

"Sponge Tree had the urge to create a fantastic enterprise event. What a great opportunity for all you crafty children and adults to be able to create items, to sell at your very own craft fair!"
I am going to do the textiles workshop!

Preparing early!

For once I am trying to not leave festive crafts until too late! I was in a mad rush last year, never, ever again. Here's some cards I've made. 
Don't worry I wont start singing carols or watching Home Alone 2 just yet!



Great Yorkshire Show

I spent my anniversary at the Great Yorkshire Show which was great fun! 
You've got to love the crooked broach. It's a bit rough around the edges, just like me!
 I made a lavender bag too.
And had a funky pic done!



Recent makes

Here's some pictures of some recent custom orders...

Shipley Alternative

It was great participating in the first ever Shipley Alternative! Lots of people worked really hard to make sure it was a success. Love a bit of teamwork! I enjoyed having my stall and meeting lots of lovely people like Mel from Spring Lark, Sarah from Ditsy Bird Designs and Lorain from Unique Arts. It was nice having a someone I know there too - Emma from Emazingemz Emporium.
Bet you have never seen so many pegs in one place!
Lots of people said they liked my card holder kits!
You can never be too prepared!

Lazy Crafternoon

I have been very busy today. The highlight was finishing these sets of children's star/reward kits. I couldn't really have a bad day with 150 of these smiling right back at me!

There's always ten thousand things on the go!

I do not do things by halves. I always have lots of projects on the go and my head is often cram packed full of ideas but there's little time to actually see them through!
Here's some snapshots of whats going on at the moment!

There's 150 of these smiley pegs currently drying! I had a great idea for them but there's one more stage to go! All will be revealed soon.
 These are also drying and will then be attached to some twine and added to a cork board.
 A big bowl of pegs for my stall a week today at Shipley Alternative
 Close up!
 I love little monsters and bright colours so couldn't resist making these for my stall too.
 There's a basket full!
 I also have a HUGE pile of pegs (including some lovely Laura Ashley designs) waiting to have magnetic backing added and / or be packaged. It's all a go go...
