midhurst meet the makers fair

This Sunday and Monday 23rd and 24th August I will be taking part in the 'Meet the Makers' Fair in the Memorial Hall in Midhurst. 

'MADhurst' 

Its part of the 'MADhurst' arts festival which takes place from 22nd to 31st August and features everything from music and dance to exhibitions and craft workshops.

I have been trying my hand at fabric jewellery, and will be taking along some wrapped bangles:

..and some wrapped bracelets and necklaces.

Also some of the teacup pincushions I've made before. Hopefully the revival of interest in home sewing of all kinds will mean that they will be popular.

Meanwhile, here chez molebags we are having a bumper year for sweet peas after a late start, and the best thing about them of course is that the more you pick the more you get. We have also picked pounds of blackcurrants and raspberries, and it looks like being a great crop of plums and apples too. 

So if the electricity goes off again this winter:

We will be well set up with fruit for another batch of 'blackout' jam!
