Two Christmas Fayres....

I attended two Christmas Fayres in the past few days. One on December 4th where I have my day job, I organise this fayre bringing together other very talented people who work in my building. From glass painters to bunting, ceramic artist to knitted creatures and me American Folk Art. Here are some pictures of my stall.

 

 

My second fayre was in Burnham-on-Crouch where I live. It is a new annual fayre of which this was it's 4th year. This is the 3rd time I've attended, the past 2 years I had a gazebo on my own; but as I'm on my own I found it too hard to deal with packing up and taking the gazebo down on my own, so this year I decided to go in one the marquees. I think I will be going back to my gazebo and see if I can share with a fellow crafter.

Here are some photos...

Thank you for stopping by...

Getting ready for Craft Fayres...

I have been very busy over the last few weeks making new items for two upcoming craft fayres. One at work that I have organised, bringing together other crafters in the building and raising funds for a supported charity; and Burnham Festive Fayre on Saturday (my home town so not far to go).

 

I have made not only candles and rosehip potpourri I have been wax dipping fabric covered plastic candy canes, rag ball tree decoratins, fabric covered star tree decorations, crochet topped Christmas tea towels I am planning on making a dry mix potpourri using all natural ingredients (I will update you on that in another post).

 

Fingers crossed the weather stays dry for Saturday, I don't mind the cold but the wet no thank you.

 

Happy day to you all

 

Blessed Be

Candle Making update....

You will remember in my last post my disappointment regarding scent throw in my soy candles. Well I dug all the wax out of all 8 tins and remelted the wax. I added another 10ml of each scent and an additional 10ml of cinnamon. They do smell stronger now and i am going to test one out tonight...fingers crossed.

Wax dippind candy canes and Disappointment...

I saw this idea on a blog eyeballs by day crafts by night which was wrapping plastic candy canes with homespun fabric. I made them a couple of years ago and some have sold but this year I thought I'd update some of them by dipping them in scented wax 9 I've gone a bit wax dip made this year ;oD

 

These photo's don't show the detail as I took them quickly without the proper lighting. I'm not sure whether to sell them singly or in packs of 3.

 

 

Now for the disappointment

 

 

I  bought some new candle scents, they said they weren't diluted but in the listing they did not suggest how much to use. I followed the instructions from another sellers listing; who recommended 5ml per 100g. So as I was mixing 2 scents, cinnamon and apple, to make my cinnamon apple soy candles; using 400g of wax and added 10ml of each scent making a total of 20ml which equals 5ml per 100g. But I could not smell anything so I added another 5ml per scent (I did mix them before adding to the wax) = 30ml - 7.5ml per 100g.

 

I left it at that and poured the wax. I made 8 and I have lit one to test the scent throw. This is were I was so very disappointed. I couldn't smell a thing ;o(. My only course of action is to see if I can dig out the wax from the tins and re-melt and add more scent. I will give this a go tomorrow.

Make your own photographic studio.....

I needed something to use to take photo's of my smaller items. I searched on line and found small photographic studios, but decided to have a go and make my own...

 

 

I started with a lidded box and white card...

 

Using double sided sticky tape I stuck the sheets of card to the base and sides...

 

For landscape shots...

 

For portrait shots...

 

Yes it is more cumbersome that the ones you can buy as they fold away, but this was free and I like that ;o)

 

And I made some backdrops from backing papers stuck to cardboard...

 

Too create mini room sets...



A little experiment...

On my background and header taken from Shabby blogs

 

I just need to live with for a while to see if it really works for me.

I wanted to have a Christmas look, what do you think?

More candles to come.....

....I have had requests for more cinnamon & apple soy candles, so I've ordered some more wax candle scent  so watch this space.

 

Bright Blessings

I've been busy....

....making a gift for my friends new baby daughter Ava-Mae. It was fairly straight forward with some fiddly bits, mainly would you believe in making bows to finish it off. Just waiting for the glue to go off and I will take a photo to show you.

Recent listings...

 

I have finally got some new items listed onto my Folksy site

 

 

 

 

 

 

My mini and large snowmen pegs. They can be used to decorate your Christmas tree, hold gift tags to presents or to hang your Christmas cards on a jute string line.

 

 

I have listed my cinnamon spice candles and my scented wax dipped pine cones

As the wax is a thin coating you can not only put them in a bowl (as shown) or add them to my rosehip potpourri, you can put them on open fires and in log burners to release the scent, but only use  a couple at a time.

 

 

They come packaged in a cellophane bag with approx 25 cones to a bag.

 

I have also listed my rosehip potpourri

One full cup of scented rosehips to give your home a warm subtle Christmas/winter aroma.

 

 





Wax dipped pine cones.....

I have bags of medium to small pine cones which I am in the process of dipping in scented wax:

 

Cinnamon Apple

Cinnamon Spice

Cinnamon Vanilla

Fireside (wood smoke)

 

I will be packaging them 15 to a bag which can be placed in a bowl on the their own or added to pot pourri and you can even put them on the an open fire or in a log burner (not for gas fires).

 

Photo's to follow.

 

 

Made some candles

You may remember a post last month where I mentioned I had purchased a number of candle tins.

Well I bought some soy wax (which fortuitously came with wicks) and I have made a dozen candles from the 1kg of wax.

I scented them using scented wax cubes.

My Halloween Home

I have been decorating my home for Halloween, well just the outer hall, lounge and conservatory. Here are a few pictures...

 

In my outer hall, a basket of faux pumpkins and scented pinecones with my pumpkin man and ghost.

My mantelpiece in my lounge. The pumpkin lights are on but don't show up ;o(

 

 

A table arrangement with little fairy lights you can just make out are on. This has since had an electric tea light placed in the goblet. The little Halloween pillowa on the childs chair are made by me.
