Some Fast & Furious Sewing

Took place over the weekend.   I was invited  to take part in a craft day stall with 3 days notice.  Fortunately there were a few items in my "giftie box" that  could be pulled out and I managed to whip up 6 more baby bibs as well as a few glasses cases and make up pouches to add in.    There were 8 of us taking part in the craft day and we all had something different to sell.    

I was very pleased with what was sold.....all the bibs, all the pot holders,  Christmas table mats and tablerunners, purse size tissues holders, an assortment of mini Christmas stockings and trees as well as a couple of other items.    The person next to me had very good sales with her pretty fabric bowls and those mini knitted Christmas puddings - each had a chocolate in them - sold very well for that stall as did the cards on the stall opposite me.      

It is the first time that this stall has been held and the organiser is hoping that it will be held every quarter going into next year.    I have a couple of ideas to make for next time.    

While doing some Christmas shopping at the local shopping mall I spotted the fountain covered in yellow plastic ducks.    The surf life saving association are having a fund raising event - donate money, pick a duck and hopefully win a prize.         


The next book on the pile to  read.


And another beanie has been started.


The binding on the toucan quilt has not progressed any further.    This is next on the list as there is no more urgent sewing to be done. 

Back soon and in the meantime

Happy sewing all

Well done on the craft stall. Sounds like it was a great event. You'll be busy sewing things for the next one.

Love those ducks in the fountain! Very eye-catching and I'm sure the club will make lots of money with that promo.

Your stall look fantastic, and glad you made a lot of sales! I wish I was there, I would have bought some of those goodies! xx

Considering you had such short notice, you did extremely well. Also, now you will have an idea of what items are the good sellers. No wonder you didn’t work on the binding.

What a fun way to raise money by picking a duck…..
