My Stand at Aberystwyth Arts Centres Winter Craft & Gift fair 2011

We had a wonderful day setting up my stand at Aberystwyth Arts Centres Winter Craft & Gift fair 2011. Here is my Mr Rainbow being super helpful! Some people come and set there stand up in lightening time, us on the other hand like to take our time pondering over coffee, lunch and afternoon tea and cake - well why not? The atmosphere up at Aberystwyth Arts Centre is great and so is the cafe!!

But we got there in the end : )

Can you see my rainbow of new funky fabric hair accessories?

Me feeling happy we had finished and loving how my stand looks this year - please if you're anywhere near go check it out...it's a fantastic place and a great selection of gifts and crafts. I will be doing lots of Christmas shopping there!!

Rainbows and Chaos!

The chaos of my Rainbow Room.........packing up, labelling, crossing off things on the list, having a last minute panic (have I got enough stock?) It's that time again tomorrow I will be setting up my stand at Aberystwyth Arts Centre Winter Craft & Gift Fair!
And the reward for all that hard work......

This beautiful rainbow!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Funky Fabric Flowers!

Been making loads of stock for my stand at the winter art and craft fair at Aberystwyth Arts Centre - which is why is been knda quiet around here!! But i had to share this photo I took today of my new hair slides, it's a crazy colour wheeel of funkyness!!!

Funky Fabric Rainbows

I have been experimenting making funky fabric rainbows with all those lovely new fabrics - hoping to have some new rainbows ready for you guys soon!

Fabric Shopping!

We had a crazy trip to Birmingham yesterday on a mission to buy some rainbow fabrics for some new projects!! After searching online for fabrics I decided that i needed to see, feel and smell?? what i was buying : ) I had been eying up lots of lovely fabrics on Cotton Patches website so we decided to take a trip to civilisation to see what we could find.

Well as you can see from the photo we did well!!

The shop is fantastic and we spent hours (alot of hours) perusing and mixing and matching and deciding and oohing and aahing and the staff are all so very helpful it really is a great shop with great service - and one day i will make a quilt very inspiring - but for now, new rainbows to make!

Outta Control!

Seems like the UK has gone somewhat crazy!! My thoughts go out to all those in the cities and especially those affected by the riots.

Luckily we are safe in the middle of nowhere where the only out of control thing was my felt pile, which has now been given a new dotty home!!!

The Rainbow Party!

The tissue paper pom poms!

The rainbow jelly.....yum yum yum!

The table of food : )

Some rainbow yummyness and some pretty little pots.

LOTS of children having LOTS of fun!

The birthday girl blowing out her candles ♥

The party bags.

It was a lovely party, I love rainbows, my daughter loves rainbows and we certainly gave everyone that came a good dose of rainbows too!!

Rainbow Birthday Girl!

Logo in Progress

Most of my week so far has been spent working on my new 'Clara Luna' logo!
I have had this idea burning a hole in my head for so long now - good to get some time to work on it : ) I have grand plans for adding lots of beads and buttons and stitches to it when it is felted - but first I must tidy up the rainbow of chaos...........

All Change!

My ickle baby rainbow has started school today! After nearly 2 years of home ed shes gone to be with her friends - what will I do?

• Cry?


• Lots of work?


• Be a lady that lunches?


• Get a puppy?


• Waste time on the internet?
  

Answers on a postcard to Rainbowland please!!!!!
