So much to tell you about!

Firstly, these are the goodies I got at the Art Deco Fair I was telling you about in the last post. It was a great event, set in a huge school called Culford School just outside Bury St Edmunds. There was a lot there but luckily most of the gorgeous things were far too expensive to even consider buying. But I am a sucker for an old tin, these two cost me £5.50 in total! We also had our eyes on a wonderful orange 70s clock but unfortunately the seller hadn't tested it & when we did it didn't work.

Next is an image showing what i've been doing in terms of making during this half term week off. I've been cutting, printing and sewing union jack bunting. This picture also shows the dvd of Miss Pettigrew Lives For A Day which I got for £6 in Sainsburys. Bargain! I still haven't managed to read the book but I saw the film a few months ago. It has Amy Adams in it of Enchanted (great spoof Disney film) and Doubt. The film is so sweet and lovely and the costumes and sets are just amazing. What I wouldn't give for one of those outfits...... Oh and a body like Amy Adams'!

Last picture is of some sheep I saw yesterday while at the Suffolk Show. It is the typical county show with farming animals winning prizes, show jumping, parades and lots and lots of stalls!! It was a beautiful day in the end and I had a great time. Bought a couple of things, a lovely knitted beret made by a company called Norfolk Knits, so look them up if you get chance and bead necklace which is currently stuck to my neck with sun cream. Nice.

Out of all the things I did I think my favourite part was stroking the sheep! It seems i'm a big fan of sheep. Pity there were no lambs.

A patriotic Monday

These little chaps were waiting to be made into bunting.

It took me a while to get the flag looking right on my stencil, not as easy as I thought it would be but after a little thinking and rubbing out it was ready.

Then I had to make the second stencil haha!!

Onto the printing and it all went well. Drying, ironing and sewing later this is what I was left with. A stack of flags waiting to be sewn onto cotton tape.

I have to say my disappearing pen is a god send! The ink disappears really, not the pen, that would be a nightmare. It is my new favourite tool!

So eventually those chaps turned into this beautifully jolly, street party embodying, patriotic bunting! Now I must do some more printing.

There are 12 flags and the bunting is 3 1/2 metres long. This set won't be going online but you if you would like some just let me know.
