Makers Boutique Market @ the Unitarian Church

This is 'Missy', my latest commission. Been busy sewing foxes for Saturday's Makers Boutique Market @ The Unitarian Church this week - it was nice to make something a little different :)

Have a read :D

Dr Wells' diagnoses...

A note from Lucy’s councillor:

Lucy Ashworth has lived in the following places:

• UK, Bristol.

• Egypt, home of camels.

• UK, all over and back.

• South Africa, outskirts of Johannesburg.

• United Arab Emirates, owner of Arsenal football stadium.

• UK, Kent.

• UK, Brighton.

• Her Imagination

Not surprising then she is ‘a bit weird’, has no social skills, finds it hard to hold down a normal job and has found it hard to make friends all her life; She has managed to side step confronting her social issues by ‘actually making friends’, in the form of little fabric characters, these manifest themselves in many different shapes, sizes and according to Lucy different religious and political views.

After surrounding herself with all these fictional characters, Lucy has become increasingly deluded, most of the ‘little things’ as Lucy herself calls them, in her mind, love her and hold her in the highest esteem, telling her they are willing to do any evil bidding she wishes.

In Lucy’s words…

‘I conclude that, one day, i will take over the world with the 'little things that i make' but until then, i'm quite happy to sit and watch telly with them all around me (cruelly, some of them don't have the best eyesight as i they're buttons are too small)’

So you see it is very important the ‘little things’ that Lucy makes are bought and not taken away, it is the only safe way to extract them from her person, thus freeing her from her self inflicted mental slavery.. which in turn is exactly how she sees these ‘little things’; as slaves, slaves ready to go to market!

Craftaganza Fun!

Craftaganza - extravaganza indeed!! :) What a great day! A HUGE thankyou to the organisers, especially the lovely ladies - Lisa, Steph & Zoe - it was a real delight to have been there.

Fabrica was the perfect venue to lure passers-by in to peruse all the crafty treats that the very talented creators of Brighton had to offer. I was inspired and also a little jealous of all the talent in the gallery - it was hard work fighting the temptation to buy lots of pretty, quirky treasures myself!!! There was such a wonderful selection of goodies, from yummy cupcakes & handmade jewelery to beautiful prints & wood-stump cushions! There was a constant tide of people passing through all day - which was splendid (but also a little exhausting!:o).

Everyone was so enthusiastic and lovely (i'm gushing now) & i am really looking forward to bumping into them all again at a craft fair soon (possibly Makers Boutique Market details to follow soon).

The lovely Craftaganza crew had pulled out all the stops making the day a bunting decorated success!!! I can't wait to hear what exciting, magical adventures they have in store for Brighton next. Watch this space... :)
