 I have been playing in the Instagram playground.

You don't need a fancy phone to get in...just use the InstaPic app from your PC

and as I'm not too good with words it seems the perfect place for my gallery.

I would offer you a button to press

but I haven't got a scooby-doo and with my 

penultimate Christmas market this Saturday ...

I have to finish stocking my spice rack.

Please come and play, there's room for everyone and you don't have

to style and photograph your tea break unless you want to.

If I don't see you there I'll pop back here when it's wet playtime.

Please enter your pin

It was only a matter of time...

before the pincushion craze returned.

I can't resist stuffing these heads full of cotton wool,

especially when it's true love.

It's got to be one of the quickest, cutest crafts 

but that's no excuse

I must stop...

before Mr Plod gets involved!

I promise not to touch Noddy or Big Ears

but I may take up indoor gardening.

A little more action...

with just red paint...

then there was Elvis

he was in the ghetto but now he's rocking...

maybe he looked better shabby but once I started I couldn't stop!

In other crafts this week... 

I have been trying to get a move on

puzzling over puzzles...

and struggling with snowmen...

who thought they were sleeping Teds (don't ask!)

Then there were the Tank Top Teds.

I love this pattern but now I have too many Teds

and no snowmen...

 

I wonder? ...he looks adaptable.
Maybe I'll sleep on it.

At least I still have time...

I hope you can find some time this week.

Can I come out yet?

Sorry... 

but with our next fair creeping into November 

I just had to make a start.

This little tree fella braved the sunshine

but it was too risky for the snowmen.

Get Back Mojo

Sorry I've been gone so long...I have missed this place

but a wicked witch stole my mojo (she knows who she is)

so now it is time to make another one bigger and better.

These neglected girls also needed help so together we 

stripped off

scrubbed up

and sat on the hot tank (phew)

broken hips were properly mended (mine too!)

 new outfits sewn 

and off we went to work.

It was so good to be back trading again
and looking forward to four more markets this year.
(FOUR? better get a wiggle on)

Get back mojo, get back to where you once belong.

I wonder what a mojo looks like?

Yesterday...

it was raining...

 

cats...

 

 

and dogs...

 

so I decided to get sewing with this fabric...

 

but I couldn't find a space for the scissors...

 

they wouldn't let me in.

 

I wasn't going to argue with the 'Hot Dog Society'

so I made these instead...

I may have just found a new range...

pets in period costume...

a dogs dinner or the cat's whiskers?

I wonder.

Crafty ways make hot dogs?

Don't count the days...

make the days count.

No patience for sewing at the moment but with a market looming

I'm hoping we'll see a few 'Sewing Bee' customers

and maybe students about to sit exams...

then celebrate?

There's bound to be some dog lovers...

but will anyone remember how we dealt with a restless soul ...

?
