craftyhunnypie Posted August 21, 2012 Share Posted August 21, 2012 It was our village show on Saturday. My mum, hubby & myself attended & had a lovely afternoon. The sun shone & we parked ourselves outside the beer tent. But the thing I'm most chuffed at is I won a 1st for my handmade cushion, a 2nd for my crochet bag & a 2nd for my 4 fruit scones. I've got another 3 shows coming up - starting in just under 2 weeks time. Then there is one on each of the following 2 Saturdays. I am busy creating in the evenings again for these!

craftyhunnypie Posted August 22, 2012 Author Share Posted August 22, 2012 I'm busy doing some cross stitch - anyone know of where I can buy cheap kits online apart from the famous auction site? Aberystwyth is a bit poor for cross stitch kits. Great for knitting & Haberdashery - but not stitching. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

craftyhunnypie Posted August 24, 2012 Author Share Posted August 24, 2012 I'll get you the piccies tomorrow, when I have a bit more time ( she says). Been busy making a cross stitch Scottie dog needle case. I like the design a lot & even though it's on red Aida - I think it would also work well on a pastel coloured Aida - a bit Cath Kidston style. At the moment it reminds me of the Radley dog. I've got a Hardanger kit to do too, but it's a lot bigger than I thought it was - so it will have to do for a show in the distant future. I got a cross stitch magazine - as there is a beautiful Red Riding hood chart in it - plus I liked the kit on the front of it too. I will look up that website for reasonable price kits - thanks! Hubby is entering the mens cake class in the next show. It's a set recipe & I've got to give him advice he says. Advice yes...but I'm not making it - no way! I think it is an almond & choc chip cake. Will be funny to see him studying the recipe etc. I've decided I'm going to start & have a ' box of makes'. That way I've always got a gift to give someone. Whether it be a birthday, anniversary or just a pick me up gift. I thought it would be a good idea. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
craftyhunnypie Posted September 1, 2012 Author Share Posted September 1, 2012 Another show today...but no prizes for my handicrafts. Nevermind. However - I got a 3rd for my Bara Brith, a 2nd for my 4 Brown eggs & a 1st for my 4 Bantam eggs. ( Good girls ) Hubby got a 1st for his Almond & Choc chip cake ( mens section) - bless him! I'm very proud of him! Another show next week & the week after! Busy times round here. Emma.x Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
