Sea Witch at the Fish Quay Fair

A group photo from the Fish Quay Fair, North Shields, at the end of the August Bank Holiday weekend :)

Hearts, Flowers, Recycling, Holidays

Some last minute makes for the new Sea Witch shop at the Fish Quay Fair, North Shields - a little wooly flower made from some hand-painted 4 ply merino wool and assorted glass seed beads:

- its leaf, knitted in another colour way called 'mermaid', has ended up as part of another project:

- a red shell button heart-shaped garland, with glass pearls and some Blue Faced Leicester wool wrapped around recycled wire (I think it used to be a coat hanger, which then evolved into a garden tea light hanger).

I also managed to find some green jute twine for the new winter pansies and violas which I will bring to the fair again tomorrow and also for the Bank Holiday Weekend:

Hope you will find time to come along and see us, if in the area - the Fair is open 8am - 4pm on Wednesdays, Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Hols.

Fish Quay Fair, Origami Shrimp

Early morning as we made our way to the new 'Crafters Alley' at the Fish Quay Fair, North Shields.

Vjollca helping to set up the stall...

... later the organiser gave her a stall for her origami -

origami shrimp.

Dolls

Rainy day doll-making - we think this one is going to be a ballerina, so great fun doing the tiny shoes.

Meanwhile I'm told that this sleepyhead is not getting up until I finish knitting her new cardigan - I'm making it with some hand-dyed merino wool from Shunklies, Sheffield.

Sea Lavender bottle pendants - the early Autumn chill in the air reminds me to restock these dried flower pendants for the Etsy shop ( https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/156132441/sea-lavender-botanical-glass-bottle ).
