Cards, but booties are getting better all the time.

These days it's other crafters, but as a young child, probably my grandmother.

I'd like other people to appreciate what I make and maybe, make some money as well.

Tea

7. And how many do you need to be market ready ?

Just the one, two on a stressful day.

8. What's the best thing about living in Thornbury?

I live just outside of Thornbury, so I would have to say the Made 'n Thornbury market!

Paper, Wool and Buttons

10. One more thing our lovely market shoppers should know about you.............?

I've worked with craft for a long time and love to see people's faces and reactions when they like something.

High Jinx at High Noon

 Well we are exhausted !

Sunday we took part in the fabulous High Noon Festival

on High Street Northcote.

Displaying pottery from our Childrens Pottery Classes and their mentor, Lynley.

Dressing up our stall with goodies from BabyGalah

Janet from Slow Spun was a huge hit spinning wool in the middle of High street!

There was yummy food, marching bands, art and thousands of people.

Our little corner played host to a Childrens Craft Corner:

Paper dolls ready to be decorated and bunting from Giggleberry Creations

Over 100 local children got very creative
colouring, pasting, designing and decorating paper dolls.
And they did and AMAZING job :

At the end of the week we will be announcing the prize winners on our new facebook page.

Thankyou to the Book Grocer and RIOT art and craft for donating prizes.

Thankyou also for the stallholders that came to help out on the day,

but mostly thanks to all those who stopped by our stall.
