On Saturday week we are having our first Christmas Craft Fair at the Chapel. We hope to raise funds for a village charity, FRIN. Foulsham Relief In Need supports individuals or families who have disabilities, or need other support. So I'm making some bits and pieces to sell. I'm going for inexpensive stocking fillers. Like pencil rolls and tissue holders
I've decided to make some decorated hair clips too, they have sold well in the past
QUESTION does anyone else read the lovely Family Barwitzki blog, written by Viola in Norway? It continues to show up in my reading list, but the link seems to be broken and so I cannot read her posts. Is anyone else having this problem. Viola, do you know about it?
The clips you made in 2010 are really cute as are your pencil rolls and tissue holders. Kx
ReplyDeleteI hope they sell
ReplyDeleteIt's surprising how much a few little articles will sell for. I think the tissue holders are very pretty. Are you putting some in your shop?
ReplyDeleteYes I will do, next week
DeleteI have that blog on my feedly list. I'll check my link as it was working last time. Waiting for threads delivery to start December stitch!
ReplyDeleteThank you (is the November one in the post?)
DeleteLovely bright items for sale and glad you enjoyed making them. I’m off to mend Norrie’s jacket-he’s managed to tear the pocket which is attached to the bottom through the hem. Need to figure out how to mend it so that the pocket stays strong. Catriona
ReplyDeleteCan you put a lining in it? (I use denim from old jeans as pocket interlining. It's close weave so doesn't get damaged by keys and pens)
DeleteVery cute items! Hope you have wonderful sales!
ReplyDelete👍
DeleteYou've made some lovely things there, I do think the hair clips are amazing. That's a good lesson in how to add instant value to something so simple, and quickly too. I hope everything sells out for you and raises lots of money for such a deserving cause.

ReplyDeleteSomehow I can't see any hairclips! I see three
ReplyDeletephotos total. Am I missing something?
What I do see looks great and I hope everything will sell out. JanF
If you click on the phrase "sold well in the past" it will take you to pictures of the clips I made for an earlier Fair
DeleteI meant to say yesterday how much I like your new red door with the double glass panels!
ReplyDeleteIt must have been fun to spend a rainy day making all those great items for the fair for charity.
The door is lovely. And yes, the sewing-with-a-purpose is so satisfying
DeleteYou made some really cute items for the charity fair. I hope they all sell well.
ReplyDeleteI hope so too
DeleteHello Angela, I found Viola's blog via a Google search at https://barwitzki.blogspot.com/?m=1 and the link works for me. Pam
ReplyDeleteThank you. I am still struggling to connect, but I will keep trying- it is clearly a problem with my feed, not Violas blog.
DeleteAll your makes are amazing x
