A week in pictures #Handmade Monday

This week I attended the 'Tower Barzaar' at The Engineshed, Lincoln University. This is something I have had a hand in organising. Lincoln was in need of a decent handmade and vintage fair, and this proved to be the ideal location. The first one started in January and was great, the second was on Saturday, but unfortunately footfall was down, mainly due to the weather I feel. The poor swans out on the Brayford were actually bashing through the iced up water to get to their safe haven on the steps! Here are some of the lovely stalls who attended:

Dresses By Cecy Styles

Dotty Pig - Unique Jewellery

Handmade By Claire - Cards For All Occasions

Sugar And Spice And All Things Nice - Baby And Kids Goods

ZukieStyle - Bespoke Fashion And Pet Accessories

The next one will be on Saturday 3rd March. They are every 1st Saturday of the month.

I have also begun to make the half choke chain Martingale dog collars, after a special request, I decided to order extra chains to offer these permanently. Only two uploaded to the site so far, but for an idea this is how they look! They are suitable for dog's who are that little bit stronger but still want to look fashionable :)

British Pride Olympic Themed Martingale Chain Dog Collar £15

Plain Black Martingale Chain Collar £10

And after showing you my new tartan ranges last week, here is Harry looking very cosy in the snow in his tartan coat!

Brrrrrrr! It's a bit nippy! But Harry is nice and snug in his new coat!

Handmade Monday - Happy St Patrick's Day!

Wow handmade Monday has come again! The week seems to just fly by!

This week I have been finishing a collection ready to send to Danielle of HanniMay's Gift Emporium. It is a vintage style, with lots of lovely flower print purses.  I shall put the piccies up once they have been sent to Danielle.

I am also getting lots of new products together for my fairs that I have coming up. First one is next weekend! If you are in the Lincoln area, why not pop by to Kind bar where they hold a monthly vintage fair it's free to have a nosy and you can get a nice coffee and cake!

If you are celebrating St. Patrick's day this year, why not get your Pooch to as well? I have some lovely Shamrock collars available in 4 sizes.

Back to work....

Tomorrow I go back to work after two weeks off. It was only meant to be one but unfortunetly I had bad news the first week and so it ended up merging into the 2nd.

Still, i have had a nice relaxing 2nd half! On thursday I went to see my friend in London, and we ended up going to see Phantom Of The Opera last minute! We were having a few drinks in Leicester Square and then thought 'lets go see how much the cheaper tickets are' we got a great deal! It was brilliant! It is somethingI have always wanted to see, especially as i'm such a musical fan!

This weekend I have been umming and aaahing over what to do next with my hobbies! I have been really bad and not touched my sewing machine since November. I have started to write a short story instead! I havn't really written anything since I was young but I just had an urge, so we will see how it goes!
I have also had a great idea of renting some space in Lincoln. I would like to set up some craft fairs in the coming months and i'd like to do them in some of Lincoln's nice country parks. I have got in touch with the council to see how to go about it so fingers crossed! If there is anyone out there who would be interested in having a stall, please don't hesitate to contact me.

Well, that's it for now, best get to bed for the early start :(
