Preparing

November is quite a scary month for Craft Fairs...there is only one weekend where I'm not doing anything.  I'm trying to prepare for them...up there in that piccie is a pile of pencil cases waiting to be finished.  The purple fabric is a commissioned order which I'll show you later as it's virtually finished now.  Today I'll also be sorting through the felt stocks and replenishing the basket that I take to the fairs.  I'll try no to stroke it too much ;)

Heck..

 I think I'm going to meet myself coming backwards over the next few days....I've certainly been extremely busy and I can't see that ending for the next few weeks!  The above soap is Lemon and Ginger.  It smells gorgeous...lovely and zingy. 

 This is Organic Geranium Rose, which also smells lovely.  I admit I'm rather biased as I don't think I could make a soap that I didn't like the scent of myself.  Also ready is the Eucalyptus, Rosemary and Pine, but I didn't put a picture up as it looks just like the above soaps ;o).  This one smells really fresh...definitely clear those sinuses for you!

The family and I are away for a few days next week, then I come back with no spare time to get ready for my first craft fair.  Poor planning or what :o).  Anyway, as everything has to be ready this weekend I was trying out different ways to display the samples.  I love the simplicity of these small glass fruit bowls.  What do you think?



This pile is pencil cases ready for sewing.  I'm happy to report they are all stitched up now..just got the finishing touches to add then there should be a piccie tomorrow.  So, I've just got a social network course to attend, the craft fair to get ready for and the packing to do before Sunday evening...no pressure at all.

Possible new additions?!



Pencil cases!  What do you think?  I could even make these deeper so they could be used for make-up.

They are lined and padded to give a good, sturdy pencil case.  I may have to make up a batch with some of my vintage fabrics too....oooh, head going into overdrive ;o).

(Two of these were for an order and one has been pilfered by my littliest child).
