                                                          Virtual Spring Fair


I have not blogged for some time but I had joined a Virtual Spring Fair...not at all sure what to do but I am keeping my commitment and have been sewing like mad for our Quilt Day here in our little town,there is also a hat parade so please excuse the gorgeous hat when you get to it..It is sprinkling rain outside so i could not set the table out the way I would have liked..so here goes....


 My Spring Fair table I do not know how to do the link etc to the other girls so please look out for their comment and follow the trail...

 I realised that zooming in does not show whats on the table so here are just some of the items....little pot holders.
 These are "what not"bags and matching needle holders,some girls at our group have buttons in them,threads etc others use them to put their stocking in in their cupboards,as it is a quilt day I am sewing for I did the needle holders.
 Thses are water bottle holders for "mummy's" when they got walking they are used here at school too as it is so hot the children can take iced water to school and have it on their desks but I made these for Mum.
 These are mini "what not bags" these are for putting your cut off threads in as you sew,they are great and you don't have to scratch the dropped threads off your mats lol.
 These are lavender and rose drawer smellies bags,they smell lovely.
 More little bags for buttons this time and matching needle holders to use up the leftovers.
 Tea cup bag for taking to work or craft group.
 Two little bags just because the fabric was lovely.
Love swags and a peg bag..

There were also tea towel and hand towels but I just took a few pics to show what was there...


Now my hat for the hat parade part..sorry lol still in my pj's as well..how dreadful lol well it is Saturday!

My hat well at least i put one in the parade! lol I will try to link to the other girls we will see I may be able to come back and edit when I work out who you need to visit.

  1. It is SO lovely to hear from you as I know you are finding things tough at the moment.

    I miss you.

    Your craft stall is so pretty. I wish I lived close by so I could buy that pretty what not bag with the pink button and needle case. It is stunning.

    I'm sure Mum's Spring Fair will be a great success.

  2. Your stall is beautiful. You've been so busy and I'm sure you'll be 'sold out' in no time. Your hat reminds me of a Spring garden. Very floriferous and is that a butterfly I see in the middle? Thank you so much for joining in - you're a star!
    Love from Mum

  12. I love the little bags for putting cut of threads in, dropping them on the floor is definately one of my worst habits!

  15. HI, just loved all the things you made. I'm not so good at that type of stuff but really enjoy owning it! I also loved your blog before and the kids enjoying the water. Very different here in Wales at the moment... though we do have hardy people in wetsuits enjoying the surf.
    I have only been blogging for a week and am really enjoying meeting and sharing with people all over the world. Thank you. Joan
