Tooties, are you going to post a piccie of your wares. One of your display at the Fayre would be good?

Sounds like you have been busy.

hiya everyone,
im not that techniclally minded but i will do my best to provide a pic of my wares on the table. im getting a little nervous as i am exhibiting my first two oil paintings there as well.
this sewing malarky is pretty difficult but its keeping my mind off my nerves.
going to have a quick tidy up, nip out for petrol and a few emergency groceries and make a start on wheat bags and aprons today, thats the plan anyway.
my left wrist and hand is aching with all the knitting i got 6 tree decorations knitted last night, if this stuff doesnt sell im going to have a supply of new decorations and stuff this year as well as a couple of funky draft excluders.
have a great day everyone

I'm sorry this is too late for you Tooties but if anyone else wants to sew some Christmas gifts this blog here http://www.sewmamasew.com/blog2/ has a different section everyday during November. The instructions and tutorials are very easy to follow.

Well done on your progress so far! :T

tooties how did you present your jars of nothing / anything, and the reindeer food? could you please post photos:j

tooties

hi everyone,
well i am done and dusted!!!!!
will post pics as soon as i work out how to get them from camera to here???
all my wares are away to my cousins who is having the other half of the table at the art/craft fair. i have college tomorrow so am going to the fair straight after college so that is why its all at her house now, must remember to take the camera tomorrow too.i have worked out i need to make £40 to make a profit so anything over that is profit, donut maker here i come (i hope). im just planning to present the jars this way= i have stuck on a label using pva glue with the poem from a link on this thread, i meant to put a ribbon around the top but to be honest i forgot, was planning to charge 50p each for these,
the reindeer food, went into a cellophane bag with a small card stapled to the top with the poem, again from a link on this thread.
will try a photo within the next day or three.
thanks again everyone
