Crafty as a fox

Guess what I'm going to say...I've been so busy! I feel like a broken record but this is a manic time at the moment. Luckily weaving is now over, potentially over for ever if I want it to be which at the moment I do! We have now moved onto mixed media and I'm in my element stitching is what I do. I feel less pressure now which is brilliant as I've created more for myself and am busy sewing and crafting for the Christmas Gift buying Fair at Trereife this weekend. I'm so excited though and enjoying the intense making. I'm in my element. As the week goes on I'm sure the stress will kick in but for now I'm making good progress and feeling all festive! I'm a tad behind on my stitching for school but will be embroidering at the fair all weekend...hopefully I won't have time to though!

My dear friend Jo came over to drop off my bags for the fair and had a lovely catch up and showed me a few bits and pieces, one being extremely lovely and a little exciting! It's now safely stored in my sewing room waiting for me to repair! I took her our local hidden vintage store today and went rummaging in an antique flea shop. Needless to say I came home with some threads and of course buttons! I also brought a lovely (and cheap!) linen embroidery covered binder that I will do up for my Uni work. Normal sketchbooks are so boring! Here's a little peak at my day!

I shall go to the Fair...

I was so frustrated last night. I still felt terrible, I knew I had my assessment today that I wouldn't be able to go to and was whinging to James how I don't have time to be ill. I crawled upstairs to my messy sewing room, gathered up some vintage fabrics, glue, cotton, needles and blanks and got to work in the living room. James hesitantly asked if I was well enough to be doing it to which I replied no but I'm sick of doing nothing! 

He quickly went quiet again. 

It felt good getting a few bits for the Christmas Gift Fair made up but I still have a lot to do. I'm going to try and finish off some hair bows that are half completed whilst the Gilmore girls and a sleepy Roxy keep me company...I may end up napping with her.
Here's a little sneak peek... two weeks to go!
