Happy new year fellow crafters, it's been a while since my last post and I'm sorry for that but I have been so very busy attending craft fairs in the lead up to Christmas, I have been making like Santa's elves!! It has been a great time even though it's been a tiring one too, here are some photos of my stalls set up at some of the recent fairs I have done, hope you had a lovely Christmas and are looking forward to this new year as much as I am, I predict great things for us all, lots of love Dotty x

A bit of promoting!

Been super busy crafting, homeschooling, trying to keep warm and sleeping lately, each day whizzes by and before you know it it's bedtime again, I have tons of fairs coming up over the next few weeks so have been neglecting my blogs, so sorry readers for that normal service shall resume soon!,

This week we did a photoshoot for our local newspaper, its for ladies pamper night on 15th December in Blackpool at Cafe Dolce on Abingdon street, 7pm - 9pm if you live locally and dare brave the seaside weather pop down, the lady on the left, Anne does angel (oracle) cards and readings, me in the middle will be selling my sewn items and Fran the one on the right does amazing vintage clothes, there will be other stalls too and lots of cake :)

Hope to see you there xx
