Hen diddle do

Have just spent a wonderful bank holiday weekend on a friends Hen do in Carrog , Llangollen. I wouldn't dream of posting pictures of events ( the teachers and bank managers of the group would be none too happy ! ) but I will put photos of the house and thrifty finds. We stayed at Carrog Mill cottages.

Vintage Village at Stockport Market

I love having a stall at Vintage Village - banter with other stallies , looking out for brilliant bargains . I usually have a glamorous assistant but was on my own and thought I wouldn't have time for a good mooch. But the stalls around me had some treats so hey ho !! . Suitcase , hankies , apron ( for chopping up into something else ) a kettle and a blue Tupperware tub .

Crafty Process

Having bought some fab vintage iron on animals from eBay I decided to use one as a template for Oh Deer - I loved the shape and cuteness of the design - using an appliqué technique for speed and Vintage fabrics and the addition of eyelashes . Voila ! There were more iron on animals in the purchase so more to come later when I get some time.

Oh Deer !

Love making my "Oh Deers ! "
The sun is out and I should be attacking the forest of Faulkner but I have 2 fairs in the next 2 weeks !!
