What have I been up to?!

After going on about being a bad blogger in my last post here we are five weeks later and here I am very ashamedly writing this after promising myself to do better and post more often! I do not know quite where the time has gone, is it just me or is time moving faster nowadays? Since I last blogged I have ...........

Had tea with friends, Christine, Gertie and Angela........

Started to try and tidy up the studio....... not getting very far there! ...........

Had a rainy afternoon in St Ives ....... with delicious local crab sandwiches ..............

Had halloween tea with Jacko Lanterns and devils chocolate cake ........

Found funny photos on the internet...set on auto timer looked who popped up in the picture ........

Made necklaces for the Vintage and Handmade Fair ...... made out of vintage oculists lenses with collages stuck behind and vintage beads and charms etc........

Little cones for sweeties of little gifts........

Boxes made from old postcards that are then stamped on........

Some assemblages with birds in.........in an old clock.......

And this afternoon we paid our weekly visit to Constantine Bay on the north coast, a bit cold but lovely and moody. We have decided to go here every Sunday for the winter and this was our fifth week and it has been different every time, what is nice now is there are not many people mostly fellow dog walkers with happy dogs playing ball. Midgie loves it and is worn out when we get home.

Also since I posted last time I had the really great pleasure of meeting my first blogging friend Helen from Cocoa and Blankets. They came down to Cornwall in a camper van all the way from Yorkshire and we spent a day and a half together. There was no awkwardness or shyness it was just like meeting an old friend you saw the other day. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with them, Mr and Miss were both a delight too.

And now like many others I am going to say ONLY A WEEK TILL THE VINTAGE AND HANDMADE FAIR IN CHIPPING SODBURY!!!!! Eeek... More stuff to make and loads of stuff to sort out and price. Along with the bits I have made I have collected together quite a lot of vintage 'stuff' including some lovely 50s handbags and china, 40s utility children's clothing, straw filled doggie nightie cases, various nursery china, old childrens books, hampers, suitcases and baskets and lots of other interesting things. Also the schoolroom posters some of which I have framed like the one at the top of this post.

I hope that a lot of you will be coming along, come and say hello it is going to be a great day! See you there.
