Getting ready for the fair...

Hello again!
Today, Sylvia and Lindy came back to work. They are so noisy! Lindy was on a work trial at Millbank, learning new skills in a catering role. Sylvia was attending a craft course at Arts for All in Shoreditch, learning how to make handbags and other stuff. Between them, they'll be able to make my lunch and teach me how to sew. Nice!

We are working hard to prepare for the WE MAKE LONDON craft fair on Saturday, June 26th. We are going to launch some new products there: lavender hearts, pin cushions and my favourites - weatie bags. You put them in the microwave for 2 minutes, then put them round your shoulders to make you feel relaxed. They are brilliant. Look!
Maureen sewed the wheatie bags. She is excellent at sewing and making things neat.
Sylvia made ©Little Gifts for a company in France. They are called "Renaissance" and they organise arts retreats. Oh la la! We are making ©Little Gifts of Inspiration for their students. Full of lovely things to help them feel arty and inspired.
Lindy made tags for the gifts. And talked. A lot. And listened to the radio on her earphones. And told us all the news every hour on the hour. She was dancing too... Pity we have no photo of that. Here she is making wheaties with Sylvia in the afternoon:
And I made charms to put on the gifts. So many charms...
We are looking forward to the WE MAKE LONDON craft fair on Saturday, June 26th. Please come and saee us if ou have nothing else to do that day. It's from 11.00am - 5.00pm. Entry is £2.00 per person, but children go free. London is lovely you know. And the King's Road is very snazzy...

That's all for now. See you soon.
