Letters

Last week I booked the hall for the Creations Christmas Craft Fayre (I know - Christmas planning already!).  I decided that the blog for the fayre needs a revamp, which includes designing a new logo.  I wanted the 'Creations' logo to be handmade and look fun, so tried making letters out of different materials (paper, pen, pencil, stitching, felt, wire) to represent different crafts...

Although I liked individual letters it wasn't quite what I wanted.  Eventually I've come up with stitching the letters with stranded cotton...

Now I need to finalise the details for the fayre, update the blog with the new logo and I can start booking stalls!

At the fayre...

The Creations Christmas Craft Fayre on Saturday went well :)  Here are a couple of photos of my art and craft supplies stalls...

The rest of the photos from the day will be on the fayre's blog soon!

I really enjoyed the day - meeting and chatting with all the stallholders and seeing all the lovely handmade items on display.  It was also really nice meeting the public and being able to talk to my customers face to face.  I hope that everyone else enjoyed the day too!

Organising the fayre had taken over my time for the last few weeks and now it's time to get back to normal and catch up on all the jobs I had been ignoring.  (It's amazing how much bigger my art room looks now I've tidied it up!!) 

One day to go...

Just time for a quick post in between my final preparations for tomorrow's craft fayre.  If you're around West Bergholt tomorrow please do come along and say hello!  There will be lots of different handmade items for sale from cards and jewellery to bags and bath bombs - for a taste of what will be on offer take a look at the fayre's blog.

Getting Crafty for Fayres!

Recently I've been busy getting ready for a couple of craft fayres - the first is on this Saturday 5th November.  It's the Green Fair in Lion Walk Church, Colchester and will be open 10am - 4pm.  I've never been to the Green Fair before but heard that it was really good last year.  There will be craft stalls, charity stalls, green groups, live music, refreshments and children's craft activities - I'm really looking forward to it!

I'm also working hard on preparing for the craft fayre that I am organising at the end of November.  It's all starting to come together now although I still have lots to do!  I keep coming up with new ideas for things to make for my own stall too - as if I don't have enough to do already!  www.creationsfayre.blogspot.com
