Flower necklace

I'm still trying to think of new ideas for my craft stall on saturday and came yp wit hthe idea for a necklace.

Flowers for Mother's Day

I am in the process of making some flowers to sell at the craft fair for mothers day. I have used BBQ skewers for the stems and made various flowers for the top.  I'm hoping they will prove popular.

The joy of sewing in ends

Does anyone have a way of making sewing in ends less boring? I am busy making items for my craft fair next week and so much time has been spent sewing in ends and it is so dull!

Plus I have loads of little bits of yarn left over with nothing to do with.....

Progress

I'm still working on a big project so nothing to report at the moment.  Will take a photo when it is finished though.

I am trying to think of things I can make for mother's day.  I think a flowery bookmark might be nice and maybe a handpainted keyring with 'mum' on it.  Will have to give it a bit more thought though.  Needs to be something I can easily post too....

Busy, busy, busy

As it is half term this week for us, I seem too busy with the children to be doing much crochet or other craft. Today I uploaded a new kindle poetry book which I had written a long time ago but just needed to finish properly.  Hopefully that might bring me in a bit of income.  I put a book on there yesterday too and sold one copy overnight.  Will only make me around £1 but if it continues it could be worthwhile.  Hopefully will get back to the crafting tomorrow.

Crochet Cotton

I had a bargain buy at a charity shop - some brand new crochet cotton for £2.  Now I have it I am having trouble using it, I think my hook may be too big.  I am gong to keep practising though as I hope it will improve.  It is white so I'm hoping to use it to make snowflake Christmas tree decorations, so I have plenty of time to practice!

Sale News

Well unfortunately the sale didn't go well.  I made very few sales as there were hardly any buyers.  Hopefully another time at another venue might do better.  However I had an ebay order yesterday and am currently working on an order for 12 mini bags to put party favours in.  So although sales are fairly slow they are coming in which is great.
