Welwyn Garden City Craft show next

Thanks to all those who came along on Sunday, I had a good day talking to visitors and other stall holders, there's some very clever creative people out there, and I'm looking forward to meeting them all again in September.

Now, besides a busy week ahead at work, I have to think about next Saturday's upcoming show. I only have a 6 foot table so will be having to think about what to take, and what to leave behind. As I'm out most evenings ferrying the kids around I'm not quite sure when I will find time, but am sure I will. (she says hopefully)

I had a flyer today about Saturday's show so for anyone interested here's the details.

Craft show on Sunday

Getting ready for tomorrows craft show at Welwyn Civic Centre, bizarrely still trying to get more cooked in the kiln, you would have thought I would be a little more organised and ready by now but I always seem to have a last minute rush. The scanner is working whilst I type this, getting my years of goose cards scanned to the pc so I can print & make cards from them. Now what's the betting tomorrow will be really quiet with very few visitors. Ah well, at least I will get a chance to sit and relax if that's the case.

Lots more in the kiln

Well, following a sunny morning yesterday we decided to head towards the coast... oh, okay, to Creative Glass over in Rochester to buy some more glass colours.  Had a lovely browse round the shop, buying a new slumping mould as well as a selection of glass.  Went onto Rochester itself too, very pretty, nice castle & historic town to browse round. Never quite made it to the seaside though. Oh well, next time!

Waiting for the kiln to be cool enough to see the latest batch, it's like the anticipation of Christmas!  More bowls with poppies, cow parsley, yellow & purple flowers. Can't wait.

Quite happy with my glass dish, based on poppies and cowslips growing in the hedgerows. 
Need to start trying more slumping moulds out now!

Looking forward to Living Crafts at Hatfield tomorrow, usually loads to see and do now they have introduced their workshop programme. My daughter and I will be trying as many new things out as we can as well as meeting up with friends for a nice cuppa.  A good way to spend a Saturday I think.

Definitely time to get organised with my making,  the booking form has gone in for my next 3 craft shows at Welwyn Civic Centre - 1st July, 2nd September and 4th November.  Quite excited but I'm sure nearer the time I will just feel manic!
