What a great day at the Craft Market!

What a great day at the Great British Craft Market! Loads of Christchurch craft lovers enjoying all the creative stalls, food, coffee, music and happy atmosphere on offer.  Thanks so much to the Encraftment team: Kirsten from The Make Cafe, Bronwyn from Baby Bird and Hazel from Hazel Loves Design, for organising such a successful market.



Thanks to all out friends who came along. It was lovely to see you all, and I hope you enjoyed the market as much as we did.

The Great British theme was everywhere. All the small children loved the woollen Fox Cushions!

I still have a couple left if you would like to give a crafty fox a home.



Vintage was the favoured style of apron on Market Day. I'm sure you will all be cooking up a storm in your new pinnys.

As you can see by my depleted tree, little sprout hats were definitely a hot favourite. There is nothing better than seeing a happy little face in their new cosy hand-knitted wool hat. I love making these, so it's always a pleasure to see them go to new homes and know they are keeping little people warm.

So many thanks again. Mum and I had a great day meeting all you craft loving people.

Great British Craft Market - here we come...

So excited.... Mum and I have been accepted for the Great British Craft Market! Tonight was the stall holders' meeting at The Make Cafe. The place was buzzing with enthusiastic crafty types chatting about their projects, drinking coffee and nibbling the sweet treats - thank you Kirsty, we so love the chocolate brownie!

It was lovely to meet the organising committee and all the other enthusiastic crafters. This is Hazel from Hazel Loves Design. When she is not helping to organise the craft market, Hazel is the visual design and graphic arts expert behind the Hazel Loves Design blog and it's associated publication Hazed.

It's shaping up to be a rippingly good market with over 60 top quality stands, a great venue and, best of all, no admission fee. They have also organised a 'Crafty Cash' eftpos facility to help with those spare of the moment must haves.

Hopefully the rain stops tomorrow, because I'll be out with my hammer to put the sign up!
