me again - I forgot to mention.....

Funky knitting patterns !

Is it Friday already?

Hi All

We havn't got any snow yet here in South Devon, we are supposedly getting some later this afternoon but I am supposed to be going out to a Come Dine With Me meal and its about 12 miles away. I am a bit concerned. I dont want to pull out really as the hostess will have spent loads on food so I dont want to let her down.
Will have to keep an eye on things.
Have to go in a minute to Miss V's school assembly. They have dressed up today as Victorians.
I was not impressed with it all this morning but when we got there, even the teachers were dressed up and the desks were laid out in rows and working by candle light.
I think they will have a great fun day.
I have been dinner ladying all week again. I'm getting in a bit more of a routine with it now but it makes the day so short the Ebaying is very behind.
I have managed to list a few things that may interest you

Cloth kits and Woman's Weekly printed fabric panels for rag dolls, a green fabric panel and a fab bag making book
find me here (hopefully!)
I better go as assembly in a minute, have a great weekend and keep warm

All boxed up !

 Hi All, hoping you are all having a good Friday.
Look at one of our cats in a shoe box that was on the landing waiting to be taken down stairs, no chance of moving that for a while then. Mind you it would have probably sat there for a week anyway he he !

 We are supposed to be having a new dishwasher delivered this morning - time slot
7am - 2pm  very helpfull - not.  Guess what...... nothing
Will be ringing them in a minute
Anyway while sitting here not being able to hoover ar clatter around in the kitchen etc I have been doing some making
Thank you teacher gifts - hearts and ribbon key rings
All £2.50 each - free UK postage

 Small felt stocking gift bags  £2.50 each

Will be listed on Ebay next week or if you fancy anything please let me know. Loads more colours available.

I had a lovely day yesterday at a posh Christmas fair. I bought a few Christmas presents and a knitted tunic top for myself. We managed a quick sit in the sun on the terrace with a smoked salmon sandwich at lunch time - lovely

Well I had better go, just had a phone call from the delivery driver who says they should be here soon.

Have a great weekend

Off my trolley !

Hiya

Well what weather, yesterday was so lovely and sunny and today its terrible wind and rain - oh well it is autumn !

I have been busy getting stock ready for a fair I am doing at Miss V's school tomorrow night.
Got lots of new things to try and I need to sort out what has been stored away since the last time.
Miss V spent ages last night putting Vintage in the Village stickers on my paper bags for me.
She wants to come and help me on the stall tomorrow and no doubt be spending at all the others so I wont make any profit at all !

 In the charity shop the other day I 'spotted' this brand new shopping trolley bag for £1.50 !
I think it will be a great help in carting my stock from the car into craft fairs. I have been made to promise I wont use it for shopping !

 and I added to my collection of wooden coat hangers with names on - 25p

 some little gift bags I made for the fair

and one of my flock of birdy key rings I have made. The ribbon says -
I'm a vintage bird !

Not sure if the school mums will appreciate them but I thought you would !

I have got a day off from dinner ladying today so I had better make the most of the extra time.
Have just collected a fab parcel of ribbon from the post depot so may make a few more bits - will show you soon.

Have a great day
Sue x
