| Prototype bag from last week's post |
Another ruffle and brooch fastening for it made – I really
must stop now and make some other things.
On Saturday, we went to The Villa, Ormskirk, to sell our
wares at their craft fair. It’s a
lovely venue and, despite being in a marquee, we were not too cold. There weren’t a lot of people about so it
was quite quiet but I sold a photographic print of the Liverpool Waterfront to
one of the other stallholders who is going to send it to a friend in Australia
as a wedding present. It makes me feel
really good to think that it will bring fond memories of Liverpool to someone
who lives so far away. The mother of
one of the other stallholders bought my lovely single bed patchwork quilt, she
says she’s going to snuggle up under it on her settee – so that’s gone to a
good home too. I’ll be off to the Villa
again on 9th November for their Art Show.
On Sunday, Liz and I went to Wilkinson Camera’s Digital
Splash show in Preston. There were
lots of tempting cameras, bags, tripods etc. crying out to be bought. We did some research into equipment we might
buy at a later stage, but managed not to spend a fortune. There were some good demonstrations also –
Damian McGillicuddy was on the Olympus stand taking portraits – and generally
entertaining the crowd. David Newton
was on the Canon stand showing some of his safari photos which included some
brilliant cheetah and lion shots. We
also managed to glean some really useful information from the Colormunki rep
about black and white printing – we’ll probably try it out on Friday.
I’ve been knitting some little purses which I intend to
felt, one’s finished and felted already and there are more, in different yarns,
in the pipeline. My other project this
week was to complete some cards with felt leaf shapes and some more bookmarks
which will go with us to the Fibre Festival in Burscough on Sunday
