Stressed Me ? Nah ....... Well, maybe a tad !

(click images to zoom in)

The next two weekends I will be mostly sat on my bum behind a table trying to convince visitors to buy my work. Yep, it's that Christmas Fair time of year and I think I may have left things a little two late.
I'll be unveiling 'Brian' to the big world and hope that he's well received. I've called him Brian because he has the same eyebrows as my dad ...

Brian is fast asleep on this doorstop - well, there's not much else to do I suppose. He's got a bright and jolly Amy Butler fabric scarf with a matching handle. I love the colour of the baby cord, it's a sort of Minky colour. Only problem is that the little bits that drop off it look like mouse poo. I thought I had a serious 'Poo' problem in the kitchen when I saw it.
And god knows I don't need any more 'POO' issues do I ...


I've re-visited 'Tim, the Sheep' on this doorstop. Again, he's made from Amy Butler fabric as are his wellies.


A bit more awake this time, Brian is watching a lone leaf blowing around his dusty pink linen cushion. Very apt for this time of year . Our poor old Oak trees is becoming balder by the hour.

Sorry about the short post but I have a mountain of work to do ... another Brian cushion to finish, some pretty little zipper pouches and a tea-cosy - all by the end of tomorrow. Oh Lordy ...

Gorgeous as ever!
Make sure you take a picture of your craft table - it really helps when you get back to have a look, see what sold, did it look okay? does it need more height? etc
