Przetwory

Last Saturday I went with W. to "Przetwory" with some fingerless gloves, cardigans, a crocheted bag, earnings... It is popular event I must say. There were many people who showed their handmade things, many people who came to buy it. Like year ago I have an oportunity to talk with interesting people.


Here you can see some stuff I showed there and CD cases with prints made by my husband. We had a table to arrange our things. Year after year we are wiser and this time we took lights, a stand for earnings. We should think about something better to use next year. Things we've made are important but the way of showing it is also very important.

The clue of "Przetwory" is to re-cycle and for example yellow mittens are made of re-cycled wool.



and...THE BAG which was a star! Now it belongs to a nice lady who fallen in love with its colours, polkadot lining, and a tiny tiny mirror.

It is made of famous granny squares, of cotton. It was fun making it! I was crocheting this bag mostly in my way to work last summer.

There's no snow...

And I love it! Winter in the city can be pretty unpleasant.
First of all I want to tell you about two blog candy's:
at Wendy's and Izis'. There are some yummy things to win!
I've made a gauge to make a present for my beloved one and I'm afraid if I can finish it before Christmas Eve...It's not so simple cause besides of many things to do I should keep it in secret.
Funny thing about this project is that is my first colour work. I'm gonna to use intarsia and fair isle.

Don't worry there will be no hearts!













The third thing: mittens- to be exactly: fingerless gloves. I've made seven pair of them and last Saturday I went to craft-market. I wasn't happy because I've sold only one pair and I've spent pretty much time by doing nothing special.

I was there with W. and my dog so... ok, it wasn't THAT bad. We're going next Saturday to another craft-market: Przetwory. Last year it was fun and we sold much items like earnings, calendars, pictures, mittens. We'll see how it'll work this year.
