It's beginning to look a lot like.....

Yup ... it's THAT time again, and we have lots of Christmas craft fairs coming up...  thank heavens my hands are up to it! Just had Carpal Tunnel Decompression ops on BOTH hands - look ! (Do I hear a sigh of sympathy? LOL ) And look how small the scar/cut is..... I've seen HUGE scars after the same ops on other folk... .and I still managed to make crafts !!!!

OK on to lovely things... new for this Christmas craft fairs are:  Non-alcoholic bottles of mulled wine dressed as Santas and snowmen!

We have Christmas tree decorations, knitted baby penguins, (sold out of these in one show), little knitted teddies, our own hand made chocs and sweets as usual, gingerbread men - knitted and felt, decorated lollies, snowmen mint creams,  hand sewn snowmen, sewn gingerbread men and hearts garlands, Snowman soup, boozy Christmas cakes, kitty angels, too many more to mention!

   These lovely snowmen angels are made in cream fleece with orange Sculpy Clay noses !

                                           Baby knitted penguins, with felt feet and beaks.

Our first Christmas fair was 19th November at Ravenstone. It's always a bit hectic setting up the stall, but at least it was indoors in the warm, and NOT outside in a gazebo! We did well trade-wise, people were lovely... lots of giggles and chatting ! We dished out samples of hot mulled wine - we don't have a license to sell alcohol, so it had to be non-alcoholic.  Chocolates were sampled too...

Our next Christmas Fair is Friday 2nd Dec at Gilmorton School, Saturday 3rd Dec we are at Palace Craft Fair, Ibstock  and 4th Dec we are at the Markfield Community Centre.
