It’s been another hectic week what with my husband in China on business leaving me to single-handedly wrangle Daisy, three dogs and the hens! Mr Fox has paid us a visit and taken 3 of my tiny new bantams, so the rest are currently imprisoned in their enclosure until we can sort something out for them. I’ve had to fill it with a couple of bags of bark chippings because all the rain we have had has turned it into a boggy, muddy mess, but they are now enjoying rooting through them looking for bugs to eat.
I have been making more rag things this week in preparation for Diamond Day and am hoping they will sell well. Now these are done I am going to go back to felting and make some small pocket money items as well.
I mentioned that my husband was in China on business, but he has also found time to visit a fabric market over there for me and has bought 15m of full width assorted fabrics! I am so excited for him to get back on Wednesday and see it – I have seen it on Skype, but it will be so much better to see it in the flesh. He’s also got me some ribbon and buttons too!
Lastly, let me point you in the direction of my new blog all about Grandma’s recipe book that I found in Dad’s loft. It’s still in its infancy, so not much on there yet, but I hope it will turn into something fun and interesting too.
Off to link up to Handmade Monday at Handmade Harbour now, and have a snoop around the other blogs on there. Have a lovely week.
Tickled Pink Crafts 
I am sorry about your bantams. Foxes may look lovely, but they do so much damage. the rag wreaths and other goodies are addictive, aren’t they? I think it is because they are so enjoyable to make. Yours look lovely. Bet you can’t wait for your husband to get home with the material – and to see him of course :).Hope you have a good week.

What a shame about the bantams. I would be devastated. Good news about the fabric, though! Sounds like his homecoming will be a very welcome one in more ways than one! 🙂
Poor chooks :0(
Your raggy things are soooo pretty. Bet they will sell well. Gosh all that fabric to bring home….tell him to ditch his clothes and load his suitcase up with lots more at that price!
Thanks for your comment on my blog. Yes I did make the mirror, some finds on our beach, and a big bag of shells found at a c.s.
Your items are very pretty, the pale blue wreath is just so lovely. Sorry to hear about your bantams, I would be so upset.
I bet you can’t wait for your husband to arrive home, because of course you have missed him terribly! You better give him a hug before you start looking through his bags for your material though!
Such a thoughtful husband! I wish mine would bring me back yummy goodies like that when he goes away on business. I might need to put him in to training….!
What lovely rag things, and so lucky to have a husband who appreciates the need for lots of lovely fabric!
I love the colours that you have used for the rag items, especially the pale blues and pinks. I look forward to seeing what you make with your lovely new fabric. 🙂
Love the wreaths and the rag tree.They’re beautiful.Sorry to hear about your chickens.
The rag tree is so pretty and the pink bucket just perfect. Oh I do hope you show us the fabric cannot wait
The rag tree is absolutely beautiful, have you ever sold something like this in your folksy shop?
I have to say that I haven’t put them on Folksy yet. Do you think they will sell well there?
