my creative space . . . the simple things

My creative space  is  a bit minimal this week - ooops!  Not because there's a  lack of creativity, it's just that the time to blog about it is becoming increasingly short, now that it's school hols.

I have a craft fair scheduled for this Saturday, which is a bit of a tight squeeze for me as I've been concentrating on retail outlets for the last 3  weeks or so, leaving little time to make the fun, funky stuff,  I'd like for selling at fairs.  

When I did my last fair, a little girl picked up a couple of my tweedie wrist-cuffs (in between performing a couple of pirhouettes - she was very cute, hehe!) and proclaimed they were far too big for her (she was also very outspoken!) which they were, as they were all adult-sized.  I had made ONE child-sized version, so this time round I thought I'd rectify the matter and made a little batch of kiddie-sized ones in nice bright colours . . . 


I like to have some very inexpensive items as fun tweedie-souvenirs, so these fit the bill - it's nice to  have things to suit all pockets, particularly little ones!

And, also another backlog from my last craft-fair 'to-do' list, some more handmade gift-tags . . . 


These will be added to any items that, well, don't have a gift-tag yet!  I really should have a little stock at the ready, but . . . . . :)

Sorry, this is a short-thrift post, but better get off and get a little more 'tweedie' work done - although, acutally I did promise myself a day off - not sure that I can keep my paws off that 'tweedie' stuff tho, LOL!! :) :)

More creative-peeps over here - see you hopefully after the fair for a little 'low-down' on my progress!

I love craft fairs...as a visitor that is...i did many, years ago and now i love to be on the other side of the bench admiring and buying the beautiful hand made items others have made...and/or supplies to take home to make myself. All the best with it, your creations are gorgeous. LOVE the little seahorses!
