Waste not want not....

I hord every piece of scrap fabric, no matter how big or small!
I have finally got around to putting all these scrap pieces to good use, other than the odd pieces on greetings cards, and decided to try my hand at brooch pins.....

Three peachy patchwork designs have been added to my Folksy Shop with many more to follow....hopefully this weekend....

Here's the first three.....

Finished with little button clusters and measuring approximately 6.5cm in diameter, perfect little treat or stocking filler perhaps?

Available now on Folksy.

Keep an eye out for more designs......

Market Day

Today was the Cluny Christmas Craft Market at the Cluny Bar, Newcastle upon Tyne.

We had attended a market here back in September and it had been a successful day so we quickly signed up for this Christmas one!

The day went quick with lots of people passing through, mainly in between their Sunday lunches to see the local handmade delights on offer.

We had a good day and met lots of lovely people, thanks to all that came :)

Doesn't it seem convenient that the camera turned awkward when I finally agreed to be in a photo!!
