Church lands extravaganza!!!

Hopefully you've noticed my grouping of exclamation points after the word extravaganza. It just seems that a word like that should be yelled not whispered, sort of like "roll up, roll up!" It's just expected to be exciting. 

Here is my table for today's fair. My sister and I made a stack of stuff. You may notice my little sign, unfortunately I didn't have anywhere to actually hang it so it kind of disappeared in my table cloth/sheet. 

Hello to anyone who is visiting after meeting me at the market!!! I hope you enjoyed yourself. 

Many people have pointed out to me he necessity of having a Facebook page for crafty purposes and artistic commissions. Rest assured I am looking into it. I've also realised the need for business cards and order forms!!! It's amazing the things you discover after a dry run!! 

I'm looking forward to going out and taking a stack of photos for my Etsy page. I just need to find some babies willing to pose for my little beanies!!

Here's some more photos for those of you who didn't make it. 

Preparation

This past fortnight has been all about preparing for the Churchlands Extravaganza. It's a mix of a public art exhibition and craft stalls. I, being Brightly Burst, have my very own stall for the first time! I'm so excited but have also been knitting and crocheting like made. 

Cute bits and pieces have been flying off my needles!!! My two favourites of the past week are my frog and lily pad tea cosy and the 'Wool Eater' pot holder.

Yes he is currently posing on a vegemite jar but I'm sure he'll forgive me! As long as he likes vegemite as much as I do!

The pattern for this one is Sarah Landon's Wool Eater. I used Russian joining on all my scraps and I think it turned out really nice. The thick pattern makes for a good potholder. 

I really struggled to find projects appropriate for the summer but I ended up making a lot of toys and dolls. I recently purchased Susan B. Anderson's book topsy turvy toys and was so torn between making gifts from it and actually working!!!! I have such funny conundrums!!!'
