Places your knitting turns up…
Just spotted one of my snowmen lurking on Higgy88’s post “First Day of Advent”
Obviously on the look out for mince pies ⛄⛄⛄

Happy Blog Day 🎂
Happy Blog Day to me, happy blog day dear Jane 🍷
My little blog is 6 months old. Said blog was actually opened on 4 June with the natty little post that WordPress gave me. But my first post “A fresh start” was on the seventh.
I have been wearing that sweater quite a lot recently. Nice and warm and comfy. Not sure colour is really me but design is great. Might make myself another one in a more flattering colour. Why did I make myself a sweater in a colour that wasn’t really me, well I had the yarn knocking around and didn’t want it to go to waste!!!
Anyway back to my Blog Day. The last six months have been fab. I have loved reading everyone’s posts. You are all so talented ♡♡♡
And having to put posts together has kept me on task because let’s face it we have to have something to post about. I have wanted to do a Christmas stall for a long time and thanks to blogging I did one.
It has been a fun six months, here’s to the next six 🍾🍾🍾
RANDOM POST #1
SCON or SCONE???
So Jackie B posted about this yummy scone that she had. I am still slavering over the yummy picture that Jackie took of a scone.
See Jackie B at stitches by the sea

However, the big question is do you say:
Scon
OR
Scone
?????

Christmas fair 🎄🎄🎄
Today was the day of the Christmas fair, so I packed my bags and set off to make my fortune…
I laid out my stall and waited for the punters to come…
It went much better than I expected. I always get a thrill when someone wants to buy something that I have made.
Even after paying for my table I had money to take away. My hobby has paid for itself – how wonderful is that and I have money and space for more wool 🤔
Some hats to make for Christmas and a stocking for Carols and Mince Pies 👼👼👼
Wishing you all a woolly weekend.

Unlucky for some…
I have been making bits and pieces to sell on a craft stall at St Barnabas Christmas fair tomorrow. Here are some of my efforts:
Will post my fully laden craft table tomorrow.
Wish me luck ♡♡♡
STASH-BUSTING #12
Woolly or Frosty ….
I have a bag full of mittens, hats and wristwarmers that need sewing up. I have never been a fan of pegging out and sewing in ends.
I still have a scarf and the Christmas stocking for my sister’s carols and mince pie evening on my needles.
I am half way through a jumper for myself.
All those projects and I have been pulling my hair out making a snow man…
This is mark one. I am going to have another go as not completely happy with the hat. I don’t know why? It has driven me mad making him but hey ho!!
Don’t you love the run up to Christmas ⛄⛄⛄
