Well, the stork paid me a visit last night, and left me two furry little bundles. The ginger kitten is called Fidget while his sister is Echo.
Fidget is a real Mummies boy, and vocal with it. He wants to sit on my knee, and if I have the audacity to need the toilet, or to go and get myself a drink he shouts until I get back.
Echo on the other hand, is a bit more stand-offish, but has at least stopped flinching if I tickle her under the chin. They are beautiful little beasties and I am having buckets of fun with them.

Another Fair
I am halfway through a two day craft fair, and it went quite well. Again, people mainly bought multiple products which is great. One lady bought three gift sets. Hopefully, I will have an even better day tomorrow. I need to look for some more fair next month, because (and I hate to mention it) Christmas is not that far away.
Next weekend I will hear the patter of tiny, furry feet. I can't wait!

Craft and Design Fair
Well that is it, my first Craft Fair is over. I am tired but had a really good day. No-one did particularly well as people seemed to be looking rather than buying, but when I did get sales they tended to be for multiple items.
I met some lovely people, and it is a great place to network and find out about other fairs and how successful, or not they are. I can't wait for the next one.

Bath Salts
Finally got some new jars for my bath salts. This is the geranium scented salts and the dark bits are tiny rose buds. I am rolling them out at the Craft Fair on Sunday.
Tomorrow, I will be spending the day making body butters. Everything else is done (I hope). I am really looking forward to it.
I also have a couple of new trade enquiries, so hopefully before long I will be able to spill the beans.

Getting there
Still trying to get ready for the craft fair. It is a bit like Christmas at the moment with things arriving every couple of days.
Instead of using "normal" baskets, I am using these lovely little trugs. I think that they look lovely.

Domestic Chores
I am in danger of becoming horribly domesticated.
There is a glut of plums and cooking apples on Mum's trees, and I have taken to jam making.
The jars with the blue lids are apple and plum and the red lids are plum. I have a fridge full of apples and a bowl of cooking apples I am trying to decide what to do with. I have so far tried only the plum jam and it is very nice indeed, if I say so myself.
Do you think there is any therapy for this kind of thing?

Busy, busy, busy
I am busy wrapping soap for the upcoming craft fair. I like the way it looks.
I still have a lot to do, but I am getting there.
