I have been busy making some calendars for the sale
I used a piece of card smaller than A5
To which I added a topper and also a calendar which I mounted onto a matting piece and used a brad to secure the calendar as I did not buy stitched calendars and they were coming apart.

I used quicklets to attach the raffia to hang the calendar

Busy time & Kitchen is almost finished

Sorry nothing much to blog lately as been so busy getting ready for our kitchen renovation which is almost done now but now it's the cleaning up since I was not at home for week either.  I am also busy clearing my craft room as it's such a mess still and I want to be nice as it's affecting my creativity with all the chaos in there!  On October 2nd I have another sale too so will be getting ready for that over next fortnight.

Few pix as requested:) Wasn't sure about the black tiles but hubby said they would look great, I only had a couple of days to make up my mind as the guy who did the tiling is going away for few months so only chance he could do it was week after.  Best thing is having a dish washer:)

Table top sale

Me and a friend organised a table top sale and it went ok but a lot could not turn up so it was not as well supported as we hoped but it was fun anyway

This is my table I had plenty of choice but did not sell that much

I did a bit of card-making with the young ones

And I had a table for a friend of my mum who does paintings.

I have some of Marian's painting on my site Simply Cards if you wanted to buy them she also does commissions

My mum made some cushions and took some of dad's homegrown cucumbers she sold all the cucumbers but only a couple of cushions!

Found this great site it was formerly Alan and Barry's Crafts but it's now ICraftOnline
You get accesss to lots of downloadables and there is also a facebook group which you will find out about when you join

One week to go!

Well it's only a week till the Crafty Sisters table top sale I have been busy inviting friends and family and hoping that the word has spread so many will come there are 10 of us with tables including my mum who is busy making cushions.  We also have paintings, health products, jewellery, hand-painted gifts and my cards of course!  I have at least 150 cards made up wonder how many I will come home with, anyway at least I will have a good stock if I don't sell many:)
