Christmas Craft fair

After 6 weeks of hard work,pin pricked fingers and organising the craft fair...it went well!!! Thank you to those of you who came along, especially those of you who made some purchases :-)

This was my first craft fair, on arrival I was slightly daunted as many crafters had grabbed most of the tables...which resulted on us having two very small tables...I was slightly annoyed by this...and after fluttering my eye lashes at the male organiser, I managed to get us one of the biggest tables....

It took a while to arrange and set up the table...but once the final touches were made it looked great...all in all I enjoyed the day smiling at people, chatting, eating cupcakes, talking loudly to old people and seeing friends...

The craft fair was to raise awareness of St.Lukes Hospice, a great charity that helps families through the difficult time of close relatives who are suffering from cancer, something which is very close to me as my Aunty Chrissy passed away on the 4/12/10 due to cancer <3 Xx

Me and Helen pride our work on being homemade...which many of our customers commented on...I still have some Christmas stock left ...such as heart brooches, hanging hearts, star blankets so if you still have friends, family that you need to buy presents for please e-mail me on linzybenz@hotmail.com Thanks

Crimbo Craft Update

I have been very busy this week finishing off my final christmas crafts ready for the craft fair this weekend. last Friday I visited tavistock, Devon with my boyfriend late night shopping I managed to find some decent gift tags that I can now add my name and prices on.

I also found in Bristol some very nice blue fleece blankets, I decided to customise them adding appliqued patterened stars on. I also purchased some small cushions that I have added butterfly silhouette's on in different patterned materials.


All in all I have a small collection of fabric brooches, small hanging hearts, individual big hanging hearts, blankets and cushions + Some small heart christmas tree decorations.


Although being busy with making crafts, I have also Seen Ellie Goulding live, been to parties, ate good food, watched DVDs + watched friends getting baptised on the beach :-)


I look forward to seeing some of you at the craft fair <3

Free Funky Material

After receiving a free 30ich television and DvD player from my local church Waterfront ( NewFrontiers) my faith in people and good heartedness has been restored....not only did I receive this as a free gift, BUT...I have also been given lots of fab fabrics ...

As any eager creative/textilely person out there would know...this can lead to all kinds of new inventions and ideas.... With all this new material I can get on with my crafty christmas collection!!!

I have managed to make a considerable amount of MINI fabric hearts now...some of which I have given away as small presents to friends...

Some of my christmas collection will consist of Fabric christmas tree decorations such as small hanging stars,stockings,mini trees etc

Apart form my busy fingers sewing, my mind creating and my soul contemplating...I have also enjoyed over the past 2 weeks spending time at BBQs, friends houses for meals, general socialsing, riding my bike, discussing God, holding cute babies and dancing my little heart out!!!

Any requests to purchase some christmas crafts from myself would be welcome please e-mail me on linzybenz@hotmail.com

MiNi HeArTs...

After a week of riding around on new found obsession( New Bike),Picking plums, blackberries,generally enjoying the weather!! I began to think about new creations for decorative fabric brooches. Having already made a few hanging hearts, the idea of making MINI hearts came to mind.....

Today I got straight on with task and have managed to make some....not bad for a first try!!!! I will continue to broaded my attempt at these and experiment with different patterns,beads,etc!!! Also the quality of the mimi hearts I am hoping will improve with practice..
.
Surprisingly I have found the MINI hearts to be the most difficult to make so far due to they're small size, a little bit tricky and fiddly

My next design adventures with MINI hearts will be keyrings, scented and general acessories for bags,clothes,jackets,cardi's and anything else of choice.

I am also busy getting some camping stuff to go to a Together@Westpoint gathering organised by New Frontiers... This will be at Exeter show ground and will last for 4 days!!!! Things I still need to get are; Colourful/patterned wellies, Cag in bag, warm socks....
