Busy Organising a Craft Fair in Sheerness on Saturday 21st July
Hi everyone sorry Ive not been posting much on here lately.
But I am very busy organising a craft fair in the church hall in Sheerness on Saturday.
This is the first of many I hope.
This is the first of many I hope.
I have 13 Stalls with lots of amazing crafty items,
and some of the proceeds are going towards the Red Cross.
I shall post photo's of the event once its over !
Here are some of the things I have made for the Craft Fair!
Union Jack Decoupaged Wooden hearts with ribbons and buttons!

Wonderful knitted items by Lauren
The Craft Fair was a great success lots of amazing and beautiful items where sold and the Red cross Tombola did exceptionally well .
It was a wonderful experience for me and nice to meet other crafter's. Although I did find it stressful and tiring as I wanted everyone to be happy.
Im almost releaved it is over, as I now know im capable of holding such an event and able to do it well.
So im very pleased this event is going to continue into the future on a regular basis.
I think its so important that Traditional Craft's are kept going, and the Crafter's have an outlet to sell good Quality item's and the outlet is not too expensive and is fun and personal.
To many bad quality items these day's are commercially made very cheaply with horrid material in sweat shop's by people who get paid penny's which fall apart .

Stained Glass Cockatoos Birds sun catcher
 |
| Love these stained glass Cockatoos. size 6" x 7" available in my ETSY SHOP This is a one off Unique piece. To be honest it was very fiddly to make. Copper foiling and cutting the tiny pieces caused my hands to get cramps, as the pieces are so small so I will only be making one this size. The photo above does not show the true colour's so going to add a photo below of copper foiled piece's before it was soldered & hung up this shows the true colouring . |
 |
| Photo of copper foiled glass sections before soldering. Posted this photo so you can see the lilac and orange colours. |
 |
| The idea for this piece was from another stained glass Crafter who had made a long row of birds in different colours. More your common garden birds. I liked the idea of making a row of bright coloured parrots then added the Mohawk's then they turned into Punk Cockatoos . |
