Erm what time are we supposed to be there for????
Nah im joking!!
Are you inside or outside??

Inside thankfully....me & gazebos just dont seem to be a good mix. I've been out with mine twice this year...the 1st time it leaked & the second we had to hold in down coz of the wind (it wasnt even that windy!! ) & that was after the stands blew over!!!! :mad:

Tammy had a wee nosey at your website......the bear cakes are fantastic!!!!

Thank you. I saw yours on facebook. Very nice! I love them. I know we do the same things, but don't worry, I'm no competition to you atall. I only do the shape ones, you don't. I can't do the ones you make! lol. Thank you for looking and letting me know what you think.! Deirdre told me you were asking about me. I also do handmade wooden decorations, and my husband does the heavy duty garden furniture. He sells more than me lol. How you doing?

Hello all!

Just found this forum! Phew - been searching online for months to find some like minded crazies!!! Everywhere else just seems to forget about poor old Northern Ireland! We're HERE!!! HELLO!!!!

Obviously I'm a crafter - photography/jewellery and just branched out into randomness with glass painting, dreamcatchers etc

I suffer from depressioin and have set myself a weekly craft challenge to try to bolster motivation so I'm trying out loads of new crafts (if anyone's interested I have a squidoo lens page (pages) following this at www(dot)squidoo(dot)com/week4crafts)



Don't think I have any more helpful dates, oh wait - what about the Kingdom of Mourne dates - have you got those?
Maritime Festival on 29th May from 2pm - 5pm, Kingdom of Mourne Festival 24th July from 2pm - 5pm, FishFest in Annalong 21st August, Fishfest Kilkeel 30th August and Dickens Day 27th November.

Contact Michelle (sorry no links rule so hmm-michelle.kda(at)btconnect.com


And of course the Heart of the Glens festival?
15th August - Cushendall Church Hall
I think it's from 11-3pm

And there's Ballywalter and Portaferry Fair days (I think their on 16th July and the 20th - all day £25 each)
Call Clive O'Neil 07770633287

I think that's all! Can't go to most of them myself as I can't drive -soooo annoying (have to wait til weekends when a friends off work!)

Anyway just wanted to say hi!

Thank you Skyeblux!:D

Portrush is so weather dependant! Do you know where the stalls are at the airshow? We did the raft race two years ago and the stalls were along the front - it was brilliant, but it rained this year and last so I hear it wasn't as good.:o

there are 2 different areas 1 is down by the lifeboats (near barrys) and the other is at west bay, the guy i spoke to said last year it was spititng until lunch time then was dry the rest of the day, the previous year it was wet all day and yet it was their busiest year!!

Also got some new dies for my machine!!

Need some more ideas re pamper cakes, got 3 orders from school this afternoon, from parents for the teachers:T

The cupcake cases are selling particularly well.....I had an order from the local bakery, and now they are asking for Ben10 ones for a little boys birthday.....Just need to get the wrapping paper to convert it into card!! Also just seen the lakeland mag....they are selling cupcake wrappers for £4.99 for 12:eek: thats really shocking....as mine are so much cheaper:rotfl:no im not plugging anything!!!!!!! Honest:o Just in shock!!! (twas the bakery that showed me it...and they were just plain white).....

Invest NI must be in a pickle.....I rang this afternoon about their courses and some advertising....but couldnt get to speak to anyone.....some sorta meeting going on!!

Belle would you send me some pics of your cupcake cases please, might be interested! I think you have my email address already.
