FNwF

Today the local hospital auxiliary held its annual Christmas street stall.  I along with a few other members spent the morning setting up.   We sell a variety of handmade items such as cakes, jams, gorgeous handknits for babies and toddlers, bibs, little girls pretty dresses, potholders, aprons both adults and kids sizes which prove to be very popular sellers and a variety of knitted toys as well as knitted and crocheted rugs.     One of the members was also selling raffle tickets for three lovely prizes.   I left at lunchtime and business  had been brisk up to that point.   We are a very well supported charity in the community.


After an early start today and having to be back at 8 am tomorrow morning at the local shopping centre for the last hospital auxiliary stall for the year I only got as far as cutting out my stocking stuffers late this afternoon.


These are now ready to go under the needle.

You can pop on over here to Cheryll's blog to see more creative happenings.

Just before I go the next photo is of the sunsets that we have been having over many weeks now due to the bushfires that have ringed Sydney and burning out of control.


Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Great to hear the stall is well supported... I love it that hand made goodies go well … the fires are just awful, it feels like it is ages since we saw the lovely blue sky! However, some of the sunsets are amazingly beautiful... but not the very smokey ones

It sounds like a busy morning (and weekend?) - good that your stall did well.. good time of the year to be selling those hand made goodies. Hope you got a chance to get your stocking stuffers under the needle. It's so sad hearing about all the bushfires. I do hope there is some relief sometime soon.

a busy time for you all - its so sad about the bushfires - I know Sydney is smoky - but Brisbane is not a lot better. Grateful that I live in suburbia.
