phew....and breath.

Wow what a busy few weeks, the run up to Dalby Day is manic, this is our village fete but when i say village fete people think a cake stall and a tombola, teas in the village hall.....but no, when we do a village fete we do it in style......80+ stalls, 150+ car show, main arena events with smaller arena's around the village, the roads are closed to allow us to have a fab day, its a fab day but takes a lot of work and months to arrange.
but its over for another year another great success.

i put a couple of items in the produce/craft show and got first with my cushion......and no where with my doll...which really surprised me, a couple of people said they probably thought it was a bought doll, errr no i made that sucker!! 
any way i came first with my cushion. we also put lots of produce in, onions, melons, pumpkins,honey, runner beans and lots more and got a few placements, first seconds and thirds.
going to be more organised next year (i have said that before) and get lots more entered.


it also meant i spent the weekend with the mad one, it also meant i learnt how to do the splits...in the middle of a supermarket .....with the aid of a banana on the floor....long story.....and it still hurts!!


then it was time to recover and spend a long weekend at the seaside, 
i love to get my feet in the sand, the weather was perfect but it was over all too quickly and now back to work and normal life has been resumed.
but that also means i can find time to play, the cabin is open for business, i have started on a couple of altered art/mixed media notebook covers with other things to follow, 
call back to see very soon.
