Last weekend I travelled to Invercottage (near Strachur) to take part in the first craft fair organised independently by a select band of happy crafters! Despite having spent several months driving around the whole area whilst working on my first film job I managed to get lost and was an hour late - not a good start. However it was fine as I still had an hour to set up before Invercottage opened for business.
Come inside and have a look around.......
Isn't it gorgeous! You can see people enjoying the sun and a delicious lunch up on the terrace to the left.
It was a really beautiful day and quite a few people had come along to see what we had to offer and despite it being in such a remote location sales for all of us were good - it pays to get the right location.
On offer were handmade cards and tags and some lovely Clutterbuckets courtesy of The Patchwork Dress aka Caireen.......
Cards and handmade decorations from Bella Bheag aka Isobel (just peeking out from behind her display!)
Knitted and felted bags and gifts from My Baboo aka Lynne...................
Some hand embroidered cards and hand decorated pashminas ands waistcoats from JemmaJo (no pictures - sorry)
And last but not least some of my own stuff...
The cover needs a good iron!! In fact I am a bit fed up with the way I display my stuff and think it needs a radical overhaul. I had too much stuff displayed and the overall effect was confusing and messy so I am planning to do some serious redesigning.
We had a great day chatting and eating lovely food and drinking seriously strong coffee whilst enjoying the wonderful view............
I would have shown the wonderful view but I can't seem to get it to load properly - it is a composite of 4 images and I have never been able to get anything like this to load so......... just imagine the most beautiful and peaceful Loch on a summers day!
In other news the blanket has reached this stage.
The next time I blog about it, it will be completed ....hopefully.
Ooops looks like thew picture works in Safari! Can't be bothered to sort it out!!
hey hey! ("V") xx

Very pleased to be a happy crafter band member! It was a good day out wasn't it? Not a lot you can do about the table covers - I always iron mine - then fold them for transportation!x
