Another weekend of Craft Fairs

Mum and I had another weekend of Craft Fairs. The photos above are from the one in the stables of a Stately Home - it was an awesome craft fair and we did really well! I really love our Christmas Craft Fairs as I love Christmas so much and it's nice having Christmassy music playing and being surrounded by Christmas trees etc.

Two Craft Fairs two days in a row was brutal though.

My new True Blood Mug

I painted this mug for myself (as I love True Blood) and I loved this design when I first saw it. Eric and Jessica are actually my favourite characters (in Season 2 anyway) so I'll be on the lookout for an Eric mug to paint for myself!

Chapter Charms

I've been busy making my "Chapter Charms" again - organza-ribboned bookmarks that don't damage your books and are cute to boot! Here are three I made tonight.

The first is a Tim McGraw / Cowboy Theme. The second is so cute with a Panda BELL charm (yup, it rings!) and the third is a pretty in pink, Hello Kitty Chapter Charm.

I've got the organza bags ready and I am waiting on my cards to arrive (to say that they are my Chapter Charms) and then I'll be uploading them to eBay and the Staff Intranet Site to start selling again. Yippee!!

Pinki Binki!

A few weeks ago now Binki (my Mum's bichon frise)'s groomer Sam asked if she could dye Binki pink for a Dog Show she was having and to raise money for an Animal Charity. She had asked last year and Mum had said no so she relented this year and Binki came out so pinky and CUTE! These pictures don't even capture how bright pink she was. The dye is of course, completely harmless to Binki and she was in the newspaper and managed to raise some money.

The Dog Show was on Sunday and Mum, Binki and I went and had a craft stall selling our ceramics (with pet theme) and it was a fun day ... and Miss Pinky Binki was definitely the star of the show!

Weenie Elvis - the Sequel!

As you know over the weekend my Mum gave me another Elvis pressie – a Weenie Elvis coaster (see below).

I looooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooove it! It’s the cutest thing ever! So I thought I would make a matching mug (you know how Mum and I have a hobby business creating handpainted ceramics) and it came out of the kiln yesterday and ....

don’t you think it came out cute???!!! I took the picture with my mobile so it’s not the best and the colour hasn’t come out properly (as it’s a purple not blue background).

I was really pleased with it (ol’ Weenie Elvis is a devil to draw! LOL!)

Latest Craft Fair

On Sunday Mum and I went to a nearby village to attend a Craft Fair and sell some of our handpainted ceramics. It was a fun and busy day and we did really well.
