You feel so daft, don't you?..........

Had a pretty rubbish day yesterday.  I had a stall at Ludlow market and it was bitterly cold - as I was setting up, I somehow managed to fall over on to my left knee. It was really painful, but also very embarrassing!  People were very kind, but I felt so daft! I managed to get some arnica later, and I've been slathering that on - I had a lump on my knee the size of a goose egg!!   The day carried on being a bit rubbish as days go - not many folks buying / really cold, etc.   Ho hum.......

**********************
On a cheerier note, I've been making some childrens bags recently -



A while ago, I made this one for one of my daughters -

This was from a tutorial online - I keep trying to post a link, but it won't seem to work. It's a 'basic messenger bag' from mmm crafts- 2009 / 06

And this one is for a friend - (made from a 'thrifted' duvet cover!)

Just been on a quick charity shop trawl.  Got some lovely cups -

 
and a pretty jug -

A lovely old butter dish - 


and a pretty jug and plate - 

and some cherubs (I love cherubs!!) -

Thanks for popping by - have a good week!

  5. sorry to hear about your fall- never mind feeling daft, it IS rather a shock for your body.

    Have a nice cuppa tea from one of those lovely charity shop finds (no, not the jug!) and spoil yourself just a tiny little bit!

  7. We visited Ludlow on my birthday earlier this year and went into a craft and antiques market, as well as looking at the farmer's market, I wonder if you were there? Sounds like you had a nasty fall - hope your knee feels better soon:)
