Had a really fun day at the market on Saturday, it was very busy and I met lots of lovely people, but didn't sell as much as I'd hoped. All of the stallholders said the same, lots of people looking but very few buying. Sadly a sign of the times I think! I did make a small profit after paying for the stall and petrol, so all was not lost, and as I say I met some lovely people so it was worth going just for that.
After all of the rushing about last week, I thought I'd reward myself today with a day to make something for myself. I decided to hand-stitch some new decorations for my tree. This is the angel I made:
I just printed out a colouring page that I found on the internet & cut out the pieces, before sewing it together and stuffing it with some toy stuffing. I'm also part way through making a snowman, here he is all cut out but not yet sewn:
Will give me something to do tonight while watching I'm a Celebrity!
Don't forget there's still time to enter my giveaway just click here and leave a comment, I'll be drawing a winner on Wednesday evening.

PS did you notice the new banner for my shop at the top of this post? Had several people stumble on my site while looking for lunch bags, but no new orders. Hopefully this will help them get to where they want to be.
Yippee, Christmas is coming and I thought it was time to do my first giveaway. You could win (fanfare please):
One of my Christmas purses, but as if that wasn't good enough (!) I will fill it with lots of scraps of cotton Christmas fabric, enough to make another crazy patchwork purse of your own. I will also add 2 pieces of white cotton lining, two of interfacing and one zip, plus instructions on how to put it all together.
Please note that the fabric scraps are only small bits, of weird and wonderful shapes, but there is plenty there to make at least one (and possibly two) crazy patchwork purses.
To win:
Just become a follower and comment below. If you are already one of my lovely followers, then leave me a comment too.
I will draw a winner in a weeks time - 25th November, a month before the big day, hopefully giving you time to make another purse and put it in somebody elses stocking.
Good Luck
