Getting Redfestive ready pt IV: the final touches

The last 48h before the Redfestive Christmas Bazaar have been a bit manic, trying to finish everything I'd set out to do. I really wanted a display that would demonstrate a variety of crafts as I'm using the stall not just to sell my wares but also to promote my craft teaching. So with the help of hubby, I've managed to make those last few bits just in time (literally!) for the fair:

Sweet little crochet hearts

Beeswax candles in natural and Christmassy colours

The Christmas cake pops were very popular, unsurprisingly so as our stall was place right by the queue to Santa's grotto ;-)

Getting Redfestive ready pt III: more Christmas cutesies

After 10 very short nights, a sewing machine working on overtime and I don't know how many stabs of the needle, I can finally see the end of the tunnel! The stock for my table at the Redfestive Christmas Bazaar this weekend is nearly ready. All I have left is a few more crochet pieces (probably little hearts) which I'll be making tonight and the beeswax candles and cake pops, which I'll make with hubby's help tomorrow.

Here are the latest additions to my stock:

A picking of Christmas apples

Little lavender lovebirds

A family of adorable little owls

Crochet snowflakes (well, it was snowing last night!)

Getting Redfestive ready pt II: the shiny stuff

I'm still making progress on my stock for the Redfestive Christmas Bazaar this Sunday. The pleasant surprise of this week was finding out that I've made enough random rings during the year to fill a small tray! But a small tray of rings just isn't enough so I've spent the past two nights raiding my stash and working on little pieces of jewellery which will make lovely Christmas gifts. And this is what I've got ready to sell:

A lovely assortment of bejewelled silk scarves

Some safety pin brooches

Assorted rings: button rings, cluster rings, rose rings

Crystal ball pendants (note: this is 4 pendants, not one necklace!)

Getting Redfestive ready

As I mentioned in an earlier post, I have a table at the Redfest's Christmas bazaar on 18 December. My first Christmas fair, woohoo! I have been working hard at building a stock for the table and with less than a week to go, I'm nowhere near finished, eek! A few long days and short nights ahead, but I am confident that I will have a pretty nice little assortment of gifts ready for the fair on Sunday.

Here's a little taster of the Christmas decorations and other bits and bobs that will be up for sale:

Little felt robins, aren't they cute?

Mini Christmas stockings for the tree or for small gifts

My trademark felt baubles

Small lavender hearts

My cocktail rings are in a shop!

I am so excited to tell you that my cocktail rings are actually on sale in a real shop!

You can go and buy one of these gorgeous little beauties from Sugarlesque, a boutique on the top floor of Kingly Court, off Carnaby street in London. 

They'll make a gorgeous Xmas present for someone you love. There are ten different colourways, each in three different sizes, so you're bound to find something you like.

Watch it though, the boutique is only open until the end of this month so if you want to get your hands on one of my rings, you'd better hurry!
