Faversham Hop Festival

Had a lovely day at The Hop Festival in Faversham, off to Iwade village market tomorrow where a family day is planned with face painting, bouncy castle and decorate a cupcake.......yum yum!

Dance! Dance! Dance!

I'm sorry I haven't been to Faversham market for a couple of weeks but I have been busy decorating my house....it had to be done as I need to sell. I'm very pleased with how it looks too..I had to go into the estate agents to check photos and details etc etc etc and comented on how lovely it all looked! Just need to get people to look round now and BUY!

Anyway it hasn't stopped me sewing so here are a few piccies to prove it :)

I have a stall at Iwade market tomorrow so I shall be taking these with me.

A selection of windbreaks made from vintage fabrics and using poles made from locally sourced wood.

I've also been busy with making some heart bunting that I have been wanting to do for ages. I shall be hanging some at the market tomorrow and it is available to hire or buy!

....and this is what landed in our garden this morning! It's some sort of hawk moth and its MASSIVE! About 10cm long and it wouldn't get off a pair of joggers I had on the line that I needed to iron...grrrrrr....but my 9 yr old, Nancy came to the rescue, after stroking it like her long lost puppy she picked it up...had it crawl up her arm then put it somewhere safe.....and it's still there this evening! I'm keeping ALL my windows and doors shut!

My little pixies have been busy today too!!

Bunting at Iwade Village Easter Fayre.

Thank you to Lisa for having my new 'fresh off the sewing line' easter bunting up at Iwade Village Easter Fayre. I'm sure she will agree it seemed to take you to a time of carefree, happy days with friendly chat, tea and cake......mmmmmmm.....delicious!

 A few orders I have been busy with too...birthday presents and easter gifts.

  

...and some cushions I've made from gorgeous samples of vintage fabrics would make any summer house proud, and the fairy bunting to match would also look perfect in a little girls bedroom. I have found a few more gorgeous vintage pieces just enough to make a collection of special things.....can't wait to get started!!..... 

 

Bunting time

Just a few photos of bunting I have available to buy or hire. Traditional and charming it puts a smile on your face. Vibrant, vintage, quirky, individual and all eco friendly, handmade in Kent using delightful quality fabrics.
