Harry Hill and coffee mornings

It has been a busy old week for us and a good one.
We don't go out that much, as is the case when you have small kids and not much money! But a few months ago I treated us to some tickets to see Harry Hill at our tiny little Playhouse Theatre in Whitstable. Harry Hill has a holiday home here and had a week long stint at the Playhouse, which was very exciting. I always hope that I will see him around town, but without those glasses, big shirt collars etc I would think he looks very different!
Needless to say, we had a fantastic time and thought he was completley hilarious. He always gives me belly laughs on TV burp, and live he was just as funny - a bit more random. In between jokes he would suddenly start sining Lady Ga Ga's Bad Romance and other songs!

I also did a bit of making  this week- anyone bored of cushions yet! They are all I seem to make at the moment, but more sold already. I really must make some for my poor, neglected Folksy shop, which incidently has just one item in it, as it was so neglected I failed to realise the date had run out for my other listings and they were all de-listed! One of these days I will add more.

Today it was finally the Charity coffee morning organised by my friend Vicki. She had put in so much hard work, it was such a pleasure to be part of it  - we were all very proud of her as she made so much money! The raffle had some amazing prizes, one of which was a gorgeous handmade apron by a local lady Karen Mansfield - which I won! (the red gingham on the picture below).
I donated one of my mermaid dolls and Me plus Molly had donated a gorgeous clutch bag. There was also a cake stall for which we had all made cakes - the table was bare by the end of the morning!
That is is for now, as we are off for a BBQ at Vicki's now to celebrate a successful morning (and yes, to watch the first England game in some little football tournament that seems to be taking place at the moment!).

Makey do - makers and creaters!

Wow, that was quick. The Makey 'do' has been and gone!

It was a really good day and so nice to meet so many other crafty people that I have seen via their blogs! I love my kids but it is so nice to have a day out without them doing something that I really enjoy. I sold some bits, met some lovely and very talented people and also had a little wander around Sandwich at the end too!







These were a couple of bits of mine, some cards and mermaids.


This is the work of the very talented Sam from Pants and Paper visit her folksy shop now - her work is amazing, it was her first ever fair and she sold most of her stock! Mainly because it was so gorgeous, she makes these beautiful felted wreaths.


And of course the very lovely and talented Kirsty from Me Plus Molly was there. Look at her beautiful purses, aren't they stunning! It was lovely to catch up with her and have a natter!



And this is the stall of the very clever lady who organised the Makey 'do' - Jennyflowerblue. I didn't manage to get a picture of Jenny as whenever I made it over to her stall, she was always running around, sorting things out and making sure everyone was happy! But you can see her lovely brooches, bags and rings. And oh, look in the background there, behind the lady in green...it is nearly a picture of Kirsty from Me plus molly..... ohhhh so close Kirsty ...

This lovely lady is Linda from Knitorama who I came with. She sells the most gorgeous wool and beautiful knits. If you have ever visited Whitstable, you have probably met Linda - she is a real character and works in Taking the Plunge. If you want to learn how to knit, then Linda is your lady as she runs knitting workshops in Whitstable at the Horsebridge.

Another lovely stall, this time Sheila from Clover crafts and Curios. Don't those buttons look good enough to eat! To me they looked like delicious sweets!


And finally, to prove we did actually have a little look around Sandwich - although curiously, all the shops shut at 4pm! So it did feel a little like a ghost town. But what a beautiful one. Look at this gorgeous colbalt blue church door. Oh, I just love it!
So thanks Jenny for organising such a great event. I think I might have to steal the goodie bag idea for the Whitstable Christmas fair!
