My last fair of the year and (drumroll) my last fair ever. Time for me to move onto pastures new. With that in mind, everything is 20% off so come on down to St Saviourgate York, in the Methodist church to ‘bag’ your bargain!

Yan has gone to a new home so time for something new. I love the rich colour of this Abraham Moon wool. With a little appliqué to add a touch of nature and a handmade macrame handle I think this is a nice fit for the Beadlam Grange farmshop Xmas Fair. At £25, it makes a great luxury gift 🎁 without breaking the bank!

Greetings from Beadlam Farmshop Xmas Fair! This is a 4day event filled with lots of original goodies. So pop along and enjoy the delights of the cafe and Xmas stalls. I have some beautiful wool handbags that make perfect gifts, or maybe Yan the Herdwick wool cushion will delight your sheep loving friend? There are also plenty of recycled coffee sack and organics to please the eco-warrior in your life. Drop me a line if you can’t make it but would like me to put something aside for you 😉

This is going to be my last event of the year and I’m looking forward to it! Great people selling amazing products that are handmade, original and great value. So why not give yourself a treat from struggling through the crowds and pop in to a lovely atmospheric occasion that is brimming with talent and smiling faces - plus the odd bargain! Did I mention that I’m going to be there?

I know December has begun but if you want to make your own advent calendar pop over to my website and check out the How to make... page.

No. 14 is the Upcycled Advent Calendar. You can make this using old magazines or catalogues. I've stitched mine and made some stitched cord but you can staple them together or use some colourful washi tape instead and use any string or cord that you already have.

New bags! Come join us at Sheriff Hutton village market today. There are lots of lovely local products like my new bags. This unwanted fabric was purchased from a fellow trader who had been given the wrong fabric. I’ve tried washing a sample and it washed very well 🧺😊

It's been a while since I made a Yan cushion, it was nice to make another one. This cushion is 100% wool, even the filler!
Yan's body, hat and bobble are all genuine herdwick wool.
She takes quite a long time to make as I have to felt her body and then needle felt it to the fabric so she doesn't lose her shaggy sheep look that Herdwicks are famous for. Then I have knit her hat and make her bobble (that's the fun part).
She will be in pride of place at the Yorkraft craft fair in Helmsley Town Hall this weekend. Price £80.

All set for Hovingham Village Market and the rain has eased off!

Some of my customers have asked me to put straps on some of my cosmetic bags so here is one of two British wool cosmetic bags with a lovely removable gold chain strap. Hope you like them! This weekend I am at Helmsley Town hall with Yorkraft - good to be back again!
