Lots of prettiness and a few old bags ...

(Hmm ... collective name for a bunch of Fairy Godmothers ?)

Prettiness being what I have made ... The old bags? Well, that'll be what can be found under my eyes. I was up til the early hours stitching key fobs last night and it's just catching up with me ... Yawn, Yawn.
One late night and I am knackered, how pathetic is that ? Still, seeing all the lovely fabrics I bought down in Cowslip transformed into Fairy Godmothers and pwetty key fobs makes it all worthwhile.

I've been stressing lately over lack of time and not having made enough stock for the upcoming Christmas fairs I have committed to. Boo is on the 2nd week of half term so that has seriously hindered productivity ... having said that, I'm not prepared to compromise my time with Boo, we've had a great time.


I think the doors are my favourite of the keyfob designs. I'm making some funky car ones too for the fair. Any other suggestions for a simple design would be gratefully received.


And, for the boys .... some little comfort Gnomes. I am not sure how well these will be received so I am not going to make too many. Having a little girl I am not sure whether a little boy would appreciate one ? Anyone with a boy munchkin have an opinion ?


At last, my lovely Welly cushion commission is finally finished. The backing of the cushion is the same Laura Ashley Bibi fabric as on the wellies. The recipient has been a very lovely customer indeed and i so hope she likes the finished cushion.

Lastly some pocket money hair grips for the Christmas Fair. I'm making a batch of these colourful grips, little girls can't resist colourful girly things can they ? Some have daisies on them and some have sparkly sequins. Next on the list are some flower hair grips ...

I was riding again yesterday so I'm feeling a bit stiff and achey. I am sooooo loving getting back in the saddle and was chuffed to be told yesterday that I have drastically improved since we started back riding a month or so ago. No mean feat after 20 years out of the saddle.

I rode Albert yesterday, he's a grumpy git but I get on well with him. I think he has to be the bounciest horse I have ever ridden !
