Happy Blog Day π
Happy Blog Day to me, happy blog day dear Jane π·
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 β‘β‘β‘
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 πΎπΎπΎ
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
?????
Secret Santa π
My partner needs a Secret Santa gift for work.
Costing a fiver.
For a lady non-drinker.
He is at a loss….
I have put the following together for him. I hope she likes it?
Yo ho ho!!!
Christmas fair πππ
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 π€
Some hats to make for Christmas and a stocking for Carols and Mince Pies πΌπΌπΌ
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 β‘β‘β‘
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 βββ
