Post Secret...& Craft fair delights...

Wooooooooo  this week was rather exciting as I got to attend the UK's 1st ever tour of Post Secret;! For those of you that don't know what Post Secret is here are a few links PostSecret is an ongoing community art project created by Frank Warren, where people post their secrets anonymously on a homemade postcard. Selected secrets are then posted on the PostSecret website.

I went to the Sheffield event & was lucky enough to get my books signed:

I was so awestruck when I got my books signed I forgot to ask Frank for a photograph with him lol!!!

Prior to finding myself at Post Secret, I had attended a local Craft Fair. I must admit I find myself always ridiculoulsy excited about what treats & handmade goodies are awaiting to be discovered...with a distinctly wintery scent to the air of cinnamon, cloves & oranges I embarked upon the adventure.

I bought several hearts & am planning on making my own shortly. The girl running the stall was lovely & we ended up talking about her kitten & mine Clan lol!

 Beautiful bells...
Mini-tree & Shabby Chic goodies
Felt Brooches 
       Tree Decorations
 
Sunset

I have also included the instructions on how to make your own Sock Bear should anyone fancy a go.

Sock Bear Lives...


So I have finally completed my Sock Bear...granted he is my 1st attempt but I must say I am rather pleased with this little fellow!

After minor surgery to insert a magnet Sock Bear is recovering well...this is upon my other half's request that Sock Bear can become his Van mascot when he is travelling out & about poor Sock Bear had 8 stitches.
But this has not stopped him hanging about...
