Poor Old Looby-Loo

Was feeling sad and blue.

She's in a stress,

Her hair's a mess,

Whatever shall we do?

How about a wig?

I'm thinking brown and big?

With a stitch or two

And a bit of glue

You'll dance a happy jig!

Can you jig?

More Market Makes for May

I've been busy making merchandise for our May market

but today is post market down time...hurrah!

Would you like to see my best bits?

Best mates,

best pin cushion,

best blooms

and best display ...

badges for chests in the community!

It's always mayhem and

a struggle to squeeze it all in the car.

(if only they'd stack inside each other!)

but we made it!

I 'm going to start early for next month,

I say that every month.

Eternal frames

This lovely weather has been making me rather lazy...

no sewing or knitting...

just a bit of cutting and sticking

and lots of framing.

How about a complimentary mirror?

You have to be careful when you photograph mirrors

they can catch you unawares...

I really like how this one turned out...

and I think my daughter has a point.

This one's naughty...

so I might be needing these...

on my journey.

 No political message intended...

I shall be making a right pointy finger as well!

No chocolate!

I have been making and gathering some seasonal essentials.

Just the usual... lambs, bunnies, chicks ...

but no chocolate as I can't be trusted 

and I don't want to peak too soon.

My troll's Valentine market was cancelled 

so I'm giving them another chance...

with some bunny love for our Easter market.

You can't keep a good troll down.

I'm thinking chocolate cake this year as I've been such a good girl.

Have you peaked too soon?

Show me the bunny

I'm sorry I have no eclipse photos, it was too cloudy...

but it's the first day of spring here so can I show you some bunnies instead?

Bunnies ...

in bandanas...

with bob tails.

Best buddies...

but will they breed?

I hope your sap is rising and remember...

Panic over...

magic machine fixed,

photographic memory restored ...

phew...

so while I do a happy dance would you like to catch up

on my makes?

 It won't take long...

Tea towel totes

Shabby shoppers 

Sewing box makeover...before

after...

with secret drawer...

Horse restoration...(you would have been impressed

if you'd seen the 'before' pic that I forgot to take!)

and finally...

Doll makeover...(you would have been impressed

if you'd seen the 'after' pic that I forgot to take!)

They both went to new homes last Saturday but you can just see them

on our table top shop... next to the pink troll.

speaking of trolls...

ooppps...

and I'm going for gold!

Can I just pass on some wise words?

BACK UP YOUR FILES!
