A very busy day!

I had a really nice time yesterday at two local craft fairs and at Kylie's concert.


I started off at a charity craft fair at the East Morton Institute.



There were some lovely artists and makers there...
Ditsy Bird Designs, Wychbury, Spring Lark, Little Blue Elephant, Ruby Spirit Designs, Quernus Crafts to name a few, plus amazing cupcakes and Yorkshire Tea!


 This doll made me laugh.
 She was £1, I just couldn't leave her behind (although I'm hoping I won't need to use her too much!)

Pretty little 50p purses. My buttons are now coming out of the scruffy sandwich bags and into these instead!

 An apple for a teacher!

We then went to Haworth for the Mothers Day Craft Fair

The Old School Rooms

Bronte Parsonage Museum

I was happy I got up early so could fit lots into the day!

We walked down the cobbles in Haworth and these bird houses caught my eye!

 I then got talking to a nice shop owner who was also helping raise money for Candlelighters. I ended up leaving with 19 craft magazines for 10p each!

 The next event at Haworth...

Oh and this is on around my birthday too!

Then we drove over to Manchester to the MEN Arena to see Kylie's  Les Folies show. It was fab! I was smiling and singing all night. 








My latest craze...

My stock of tapes was running very low. There aren't many places locally where I can find appropriate tapes for my craft projects so after hunting around on line I ordered these.

In January I bought these flower design tapes (as part of a different set) from a sale. I then got a bulk order of Peg It! and ran out. I couldn't find anymore any where for ages but then I accidentally stumbled upon this pack on line.

I've made some more sets now. Yippee!

Some London finds

We had a day trip to London this week.


I have always wanted to go to Liberty and it was wonderful!

I really like MT tapes so I was happy to find some there.

We had a lovely walk around and bumped into Lazy Oaf where I found this!

 I liked the bag and the postcard too hee hee.






Crafty Bargains

I got a few craft bargains this week from 50p and £1 buckets! 

 I loved these very glittery pens, they're just like paint pens! They've run out now though after a 3 hour making session.

This is the first time I've used adhesive fabric ribbon, I never knew it existed! I am really pleased with how these turned out. 

 In another shop I found lots of self adhesive vinyl covering. I can't wait to Peg It! with these.
