What a week! Incredibly hectic but really enjoyable. I missed the last Handmade Monday because I was busy with our local Jubilee festivities – you can read more about them in this post, but here’s a picture for you to give you a flavour of what went on.
It was also Hay Festival this week. We are lucky enough to only live about half an hour away so made two trips, the first to see illustrator Korky Paul (he illustrates the Winnie the Witch books which are some of Daisy’s favourites) and then yesterday we went to see Justin!! Those of you who don’t have young children won’t have a clue who I’m talking about – those of you who do will know he is a god, and he didn’t let us down, he was amazing! It was like Beatlemania but with young children and their parents! Actually, I don’t know who was more excited, the children or their Mums!!
After my success at the neighbouring village Jubilee fete I also started making again as I am quite low in stock. Given that I was so busy, I’ve only managed to complete one thing, another rag wreath, but have ideas for many more things.
And now some really exciting news for Tickled Pink Crafts! We have been invited to have a stall at Hereford’s Diamond Day on July 11th. This is the day that the Queen is visiting Hereford as part of her Jubilee year, and she will be coming to a specially organised event in the city! I am thrilled to be taking part and am already practising my curtsey! And I must remember it’s Ma’am as in “jam”!! Just think if she came and looked at my stall!
With that in mind, I must get my crafting skates on, but first will link up to Handmade Monday and have a look at all the other loveliness over there. See you next week! Oh, and before you go, have a peek at my Silent Sunday post, a really special photo.

looks like you had a very busy and productive week, love the red and white wreath
My daughter will be immensely jealous!
Good luck with your Diamond Day stall- very exciting! The rag wreath is lovely…maybe do a red, white and blue one and see if you can tempt the queen!
It all sounds so exciting! I know who Justin is and bet you came back with a headache! I love the wreath and I am sure that the queen will come and talk to you – you have such great things for sale – why wouldn’t she?
My what an exciting week… great news about your stall… remember you must charge HM mate’s rates!
You’ve had a busy week! Maybe give HM a gift you could just about get away with adding ‘by royal appointment’ then!!
wow, those diamond jubilee festivities were really splendid! wish we had had something like that in our village!
well done on being invited to the place of queen’s visit, u never know, she may come up and buy something of you! 🙂

What a week you have had bet you would not have missed any of it for the world.
Snap – great minds think alike. I love the colours you have used for your wreath, very pretty. Very exciting that you are taking part in an event the Queen will visit – am sure it will be a fabulous day. Hope you have a good week.
Looks like an amazing week and more to come! Good luck with the Diamond Day stall!
What a lovely time you’ve been having. Your wreath looks brilliant.. You never know it might be sitting on the front door of Buck Palace soon. Have a great time at the Diamond Day, you must be really pleased. Ali x
My children are both grown so i have no clue on Justin but glad he brought a lot of joy!! The jubilee photo looks like a great day. Wreath is absolutely beautiful.
Ooooh, keeping my fingers crossed that the Queen visits your stall. Looks like everyone had a great time at the Jubilee celebrations.
Wow, your Jubilee celebrations look amazing and I love your rag wreath.
I can appreciate Justin AND Korky Paul – lucky you! Can also recommend Julia Donaldson if she is ever your way – very talented and fabulous with the kids.
