Hello to you this fine Tuesday, this frantic Tuesday, this frustrating Tuesday.
Good weather, craft fair panics and disobedient internet connections which means that this is my third attempt at writing this blog.
So this is the shortened list form (without links I am afraid) as I really cannot spend any more time writing this out again!!
Films watched in the last 2 days whilst crocheting frantically for the fair :-
Elizabeth, Hot Fuzz, The Perfect Storm, All I want, Shaun of the Dead and King Kong (remake)
Cups of tea – I have lost count.
My ideal craft fair inventory (clearly pie in the sky but a girl can dream!)
Crochet cuffs x 10
Gloves x 4
Wrist corsages x 10
Button hair slides x 10
Crochet hair slides x 10
Crochet hair bands x 4
Flower brooches x 8
Bags x 5
Fabric cuffs x 5
Crochet collars x 4
Notebooks x 10
In addition, whatever button sets and however many postcard and card sets I can get printed up.
I better get those lacy collars made as one is featured on the poster!
I was going to write here what I actually had so far but I think I may depress myself!
Gosh even that does not seem like very much for a full table worth of goods – Oh dear, if only I had another week – but I don’t so I best be getting on with it!
The loft space desperately needs tidied since my leatherworking week; the painting studio has been abandoned for the week whilst I prepare for the weekend. This is my first solo craft fair and I really wanted to be much better prepared but alas it is not going to be. However I am doing another one in the same venue in December so it will be really interesting to learn from this one so that I can be more organised for the next one!
Above is the poster for the fair which has been designed by the wonderful askey.
Right back to work for me - enjoy the rest of your day! xxx
Sending good vibes that you will fulfill your inventory list!
I have a small fair this Saturday, so I've been pretty busy, too. Cleaning up the work space is usually left until after the holidays when all the fairs are over! LOL!

Love the fair poster! It looks so good!
Good luck with it all... I know you will have plenty to impress everyone with and, like you said, it will be a good learning experience. :)

Sending lots of good wishes of perseverance and nimble fingers your way! :) I had to chuckle at your comment about loosing count of cups of tea... sounds like me too! (I'm addicted to tea! lol)
You know you deserve a good rest after this, right? ;)
