I have added some more confirmed
Christmas
Fairs to my list of
Events.
The big ones are the
Celtic Winter
Fayre and
Erddig Christmas Markets.
A few more to add later when they are confirmed. |
 |
|
22nd September 2010 |
Have a few orders on the go, but been a
bit quiet on the events front. I have booked a few
Christmas Fairs though. |
|
20th August 2010 |
Denbigh and Flint County Show was
relatively quiet in the Shopping Arcade marquee. Still I enjoyed the
day. The rain held off till late afternoon. Getting off the
field took forever though :-( |
 |
|
9th June 2010 |
Finally managed to get pictures of the
Decopatch
papers on-line. |
|
7th June 2010 |
Arranged another event at last.
Craft Marquee at
The Caerwys Show on Saturday
:
Selling decorated items, and Decopatch paper / blanks,
Giving Decopatch demonstrations
Running hands-on sessions. |
|
21st May 2010 |
Further to my house move my ISP wasn't
able to supply me with Broadband until today ! It's been very strange
to not be able to go on-line. We are still surrounded by packing boxes
at home, but can see the light at the end of the tunnel :-) |
|
|
7th May 2010 |
My broadband is going to be down for a
couple of days when I move house on Monday, so if you need to contact me
please use my mobile, or
if you email I should be
able to read it by Thursday 13th May. Thanks. |
|

30th April 2010 |
Unfortunately had to cancel my first
craft fair, as imminent house move is proving more time consuming and
problematic than anticipated. Hopefully will have more time when
settled to arrange more events, as itching to get out there. |
|
|
22nd April 2010 |
Next
Workshop date is 8th May in Llangollen.
Booked my first Fair of the year, at
last! I am going to the
Craft and Art Fair in New Brighton on May 1st - bank holiday Saturday,
where I will have my products for sale, and I will also be demonstrating
Decopatch. |
 |
|
30th March 2010 |
The last workshop in Bryneglws went
well. Some more lovely items created. We will be back to do
another one there in the near future. Hopefully photos coming soon
courtesy of Vicky ;-) Looking
forward to the next Decopatch workshop in Llangollen on the 10th April. |
|
|
19th March 2010 |
New
workshop date added. |
|
|
15th March 2010 |
We now have the Decopatch paper and some
blanks for sale in Tina and Chris's shop - Siop Hodge Podge in Glyndyfrdwy.
The shop is in the centre of the village on the A5 between Llangollen and
Corwen in Denbighshire, North Wales, LL21 9HB |
 |
|
14th March 2010 |
The Decopatch Workshop in Glyndyfrdwy at the weekend
was great - everyone seemed to enjoy it and went away with some lovely
examples of Decopatched items. I wonder if anyone is going to be as
hooked on "patchin" as I am ;-) |
 |
|
26th February 2010 |
2 New
Workshop
dates finalised. This is an exciting phase of the business, running
courses with fellow "patcher" Tina. Getting me enthused about the
challenges in the year ahead. |
|
|
25th February 2010 |
Look out for materials to try Decopatch
yourself. They are currently available at
workshops,
and soon at
Siop Hodge Podge and on the
website. It's part of the new business phase I am starting with my
friend Tina. |
 |
|
9th February 2010 |
Slow start to 2010 - no events booked
yet - not sure of plans at the moment. Will keep you posted. |
|

I wish you a Happy and Healthy 2010. |

Hope everyone is having a lovely
Christmas time. I know I am :-) I was pleased
to see a feature on Decorative Crafts on page 9 of the December edition of

I haven't decided on any 2010 events
yet, but will post them on my Fairs and Markets page as soon as I plan next
year out. |
|
|
21st December 2009 |
This weekend at Erddig was bitterly
cold, and I thought on Sunday morning that the snow covered lanes would put
everyone off, but I was surprised by how many people turned out.
|
 |
|
18th December 2009 |
Last weekend's Christmas Market at
Erddig was very busy and enjoyable. Getting ready for the last event
of the year this weekend (is it going to snow at Erddig). |
|
7th December 2009 |
I have had a very hectic time over the
last week, and glad of a rest today. The weekend was enjoyable with
Whitchurch Christmas Fair on Saturday being a fun but very long day, and it
was nice to see other fellow crafters again. Yesterday was not
very fruitful without the anticipated attendance at the Reebok Stadium in
Bolton, but it was a lot easier with Nick to help with the packing up.
There were over a hundred stalls there, and I met some more lovely crafters.
|
|
1st December 2009 |
Just uploaded a few more products.
Some of the items I have recently made have sold and I forgot to photograph
them so you'll never get to see them unfortunately, including some
picture frames,
candle votives and and candle holders. |

29th November 2009 |
After a very long day on Friday at
Denbigh Christmas Market I had a very quiet day at the Llangollen Fair
yesterday. It had been arranged to coincide with Llangollen's
Christmas Festival, however the local council changed the date in the last
few weeks and you can't just change the date of Craft Fairs at short notice
! I still enjoyed it though :-) |
 |
|
23rd November 2009 |
Thanks to all the customers who braved
the weather at the weekend ! The weather just got worse and
worse throughout the week with the worst weather at the weekend, and it definitely affected the attendance figures.
It started off quite sunny but by lunch time it was a lot colder, wetter and
windier and I was quite glad to be packing up at 4, although the rain didn't
help with that ! Thanks to Nick's help it was all packed and in
the van within an hour though. |
 |
|
20th November 2009 |
Surprisingly the dreadful weather has
not put people off attending the Celtic Fayre. I've had lots of nice
chats with visitors, and quite a few have bought some of my products
too ;-)
The forecast isn't any better for the weekend, but my little cabin is
thankfully weather-proof and it hasn't been too cold. |
|
17th November 2009 |
Just packed the van with everything I
can think of that I might need for the
Celtic Winter Fayre in
Llandudno, probably forgotten something though ! As it's a
Christmas Fair we have been asked by the organiser to decorate our stalls in
a Christmas theme, so I'm taking lots of lights and tinsel :-)
Children may confuse my cabin with Santa's Grotto !!! Will upload a
photo for those of you who can't come along to Llandudno to see for
yourselves ... |
|
|
16th November 2009 |
Busy getting everything ready for 5 days
at the Celtic Winter Fayre in Llandudno starting on Wednesday 18th !
The weather forecast doesn't look too good ! I have booked a cabin
which I'm hoping will be a bit more waterproof than a marquee ! |
|
|
16th November 2009 |
Craft Fair at Theatr Clwyd in Mold was
good, although not as busy as everyone would have liked. It was nice
to see everyone from the GCAC again though. |
 |
|
11th November 2009 |
Really pleased with my brand new products
- pendant and
Gift Tags.
Just need to make some more now ! |
 |
|
11th November 2009 |
Received my fab new, bright pink banner
- just in time to go on my stall / stand / cabin at the imminent
Christmas
Fairs and Markets. You won't miss it, or that's the idea anyway
:-) |
 |
|
7th November 2009 |
It was a lovely sunny day in New
Brighton yesterday as opposed to gale force winds and rain last month. Not
sure if having to pay £2 each to get into the Craft Fair was putting
potential customers off though. |
