Beat the weather and the Christmas rush!!

Wipso and I have had a great time loading our new shelves in the Sisters Crafty Crations blog shop.

So, please make yourself a cuppa, pull up a chair and have a browse through all the new goodies. You will find lots of wonderful ideas for Christmas gifts.

There are lots of fabulous new Brooches and Gifts, and also two new shelves....a Sock dolly shelf with some cute creations  and a Christmas shelf with decorations and other goodies.

There are Felties waiting to be adopted and Puppets longing to be played with [suitable for over 3 year olds].

There are one off Pictures and sets of Cards that would also make lovely gifts.

We really hope you enjoy browsing and hope you find something you'd like to buy. Please contact us with orders and any queries at wipso@toucansurf.com.

Our stall at the craft fair!

Well - it was a cold, snow covered morning when Wipso and I set out for Montgomery.

The treasure that is Mr Wipso drove us over there and helped us unpack all our bags and boxes.

With Tina's help we set out a fantastic stall, loaded with goodies.

I guess the poor weather kept a good few customers at home, nevertheless, we had a brilliant day.

We sold quite a lot, met old friends and made a few new ones.

Later in the day, the sun shone and the view from the upper floor of the Town Hall, towards Welshpool, was wonderful on this cold winter's day.

Montgomery town must have been quite full because Tina's shop Indigo Moon had a busy afternoon too.

The craft fair was held in aid of the NSPCC so I hope they did well. We bought raffle tickets and had a go at guessing the name of the knitted mouse but of course we didn't win.

By 3.30 folks were starting to pack away so we did likewise and then waited for our knight in shining armour to re-pack the car and take us home.

A great day - thanks to Tina for suggesting we help fill her tables - apologies if we overwhelmed her with our all our goodies!!

Our Christmas goodies will be going into the blog shop on Monday, so, if you are in need of a few stocking fillers or tree decorations or Christmas rag wreaths, then pop over to Sisters Crafty Creations and check us out.

Craft fair goodies!

 Here are just a few of the goodies we are taking to the Montgomery Craft Fair on Saturday!


All the items in this picture have been made over the last year and are already in our blog shop.


(Click on the Poppy picture link on the right of my blog if you would like to check out the rest of the items in the shop!)



The items below are not in the blog shop so you would need to leave a message in my comments and I will get back to you, if you would like to buy any of them. (Postage extra)

 The sock dolls posed so nicely for this snap.
Snow bunny snuggled down in her own cosy little bag and Zebra thought she would blink when the flash went off, so she kept her eyes wide open!
Scruffy sat quietly for a change and the others just mooched in the corner.

Sock dolls, like these, are not toys for children under three, as they have buttons and attached bits and bobs.  Snow bunny in bag £10.50
Others £7.50

These little tissue box covers come with or without a box of tissues. ( Cheaper to post without)
£5 with Kleenex cube
£3.50 without.


My last two items are made from re-cycled sweaters.
The cushion is made from a pure wool, made in Scotland sweater. It has a front, buttoned opening and is about 12" x 12". £18

The tea pot cosy is made from a gorgeous pure wool Fairisle- style jumper and has a detachable brooch in toning colours on the front. £9

Wipso made these gorgeous little Christmas creatures.

The little Christmas mice have ribbons so that they can hang on your tree. They are about 3" tall.£2.75

The teddies can also hang on your tree and have a little poem as well.£1.75

WOYWW & TVTMWT

This is the state of my work room today!

Busy getting ready for next Saturday's craft fair at Montgomery, so my room is stacked out with bags of things ready to go (will post more pics of them tomorrow).

Bags and boxes everywhere!

I need to start this morning with a huge tidy up and sort out before I start any more crafting - and what am I doing...... blogging this post and then reading a few of the 150 post that you wonderful WOYWWers put up every Wednesday. I never manage to see all of them but I do enjoy popping in to as many as I can. If you want to join in this mad blog hop, then go to the WOYW Julia, chief organiser's blog and follow Mr Linky.

Two other pics to share...

The view through my window today...

Woke to a hard frost outside - but a lovely sunny morning.

This male woodpecker obviously felt the need for an early breakfast on the peanuts!

See you all later - have a great WOYWW!

Christmas craft fair items.

Wipso and I have been busy making all sorts of crafty items for our Christmas craft fair in Montgomery Town Hall next Saturday.
I thought I would post a few pictures each day so that you can see some of the things I have made.
If you have been following my blog you will know I have been recycling sweaters and have made lots of different items.

So here are two cosy, little, hot water bottle covers. I think they might sell quickly if the forecast for snow this week is correct!!
