The biscuit festival

After long time no see, we’ve back on the road again at the weekend and will be taking ‘Crafternoon’ to The British Biscuit Festival, at the Brunswick Bloomsbury WC1, on Saturday 9^th June.

We’ve chatted and crafted over many a biscuit, so we’re very excited to be invited along with our bag of tricks. We’ll be there from 12-6pm and we’ve got plenty of biccy-themed craft kits up our sleeve, so if you’re nearby come along and say hello!

Candy Coloured Stripes

I’ve been on the hunt for some candy coloured stripey sheets for quite some time. Word eventually reached my grandma’s neighbour (who was just about to throw said sheets in the bin). Result, I’ve landed myself the perfect lemon yellow, mint green, candy floss pink and cool blue combo and decided for their first outing that they’d make a nice looking bow.

Thank you grandma’s neighbour.

Bags of fun

After a recent Topshop purchase, I couldn't resist turning their lovely big black and white printed bag into my own smaller, sweet-shop-style creations. The perfect goodie bags for housing a few happy crafting essentials. If you like the sound of a bit of cutting + sticking yourself and making something pretty from virtually nothing, why not come along to our next craft event?

Lets have fun making a mess together!

Your hair looks good today

Matchbox challenge day 17: the sweet one. I prettied up a matchbox with floral paper, an old map, washi tape and some dotty birthday paper. The box contains a collection of stickers I typed out that say nice things, including "I like your handwriting", "Can I hold your hand?" and "I like your socks".

What's the sweetest thing you've ever told someone or they've told you?

Out of my thoughts

Matchbox challenge day eight - the music one. Lovely lyrics from a song sung in the film "Before sunset" transferred onto heart-shaped pebble. (I've just watched a clip of the scene and I've got the lyrics wrong! But still, the sentiment remains..!)

A grand day out

We put on our aprons and set-up shop yesterday at Wonderhill market- where we had lots of crafty things we’d made for sale and a few vintage treasures in search of a new home!  It also turned out to be the perfect excuse to have a good old natter, meet lots of lovely stall holders, get-through a bag of lemon bon-bons (with a nice dusting, just like they used to be) and enjoy countless cups of tea, whilst playing shop (next to a very delicious cake stall might I add). And to be honest, the best part of all was spending an afternoon with my sidekick, Thelma!

To market, to market

 

The kettle's on and project "Wonderhill" preparation is in full swing. We're up to our ears in tags, paper bags, jam jars and making a mess creating lots of lovely bits of bobs to sell this Sunday. We'll post a sneak preview of some of our wares shortly ...
