All this weekend its the Creative Stitches and Hobbycraft Exhibition at Aintree Racecourse.
I was there yesterday (thursday) helping to put our group exhibition up.
My knee is testament to the number of times I ran up the ladder.
This is my bit of the show. On the right.
I made about a dozen brooches to sell and I had a call this evening from the member who was on duty today who tells me that 7 of them sold and do I have any more?
I'm on duty tomorrow
I hope for two things:
That my knee will improve
That I won't get lost on the journey like I did on Thursday.
(Twice)
Oh and number three..that I meet a friendly blogger or two.

Good luck and I hope your knee is better and that you get there on time. I went to the Stitching and Creative Crafts Show at Shepton Mallet today and although I did enjoy it I was disappointed to find it mainly geared to card makers with not a great deal of the other crafts. I'd certainly have spoken to you had you been here!

Oh I wish you were near me - would love to meet you - I love your work. Hope the knee improves.
Good luck with selling out tomorrow! And from one knee sufferer to another, don't go mad, you'll pay for it.
Ooh, wish I could have gone! The stand looks wonderful. Congratulations for your sales, I'm sure there'll be many more. Have a lovely day tomorrow :o)
Your display looks good and I am glad that sales are going well. Have a good day tomorrow, too far for a visit I am afraid.
Aww...wish I could come and meet you. That is my fave day out when it comes to Glasgow. Your stand looks wonderful and I'm sure you will need more than a few more brooches : )
Your work is looking lovely Jackie and congrats on selling so many brooches so quickly. Have a good day tomorrow. Lesley
well done!! They are really gorgeous, just seen one on flickr, you are out of my league!
All the very best for tomorrow and hope you sell lots, your brooches are wonderful.
Congrats on the sales, I am sure you will sell out! I hope your knee feels better soon. Both of mine are so rotten that I wouldn't dare try a ladder even once. So don't just soldier on and abuse them, let someone else with knees that are more healthy run up the ladder! HUGS, Marilyn
You go girl...and you are most certainly out there! Congrats on your selling, other people love your stuff like I do. Hope your knee improves.
Oh, ouch - I can sympathize. I've been up & down off a chair today painting the hall and I know I'm going to suffer tomorrow. Glad to hear you're making sales (but I never had any doubt that you would). Wish I could be there!
I was there today and I thought I recognized your work.
I'd go just to meet you....if only I could get there and back in a day..working tonight!
Hope knee is good today and that you sell everything and more...
Just a bit too far for me. Hope you have a lovely day.
Have a fab time
Fantastic work Jackie, I bet all will be sold by the end of the exhibition. Have a good day stewarding!
Great news re the brooches!!!! Wish I was near, I would love to turn up and meet you and eat cake and laugh a lot!
Me too, all of the above!
Interesting to see how textiles are displayed. I've used 'panels' of driftwood before but it's quite difficult to find the 'right' size & punters might worry about sea creatures! Did you notice any other driftwood being used or 'alternative' mounts?
Hope you've had a good day. I'm not surprised your brooches sold well.
I love the look of your exhibits and hope you sell more brooches. Also hope your knee will soon be more comfortable - take it easy! If you weren't so far away I'd be there like a shot.
I love the colours on those brooches ........fab ...good luck and hope knee improves .....Lorna
Would love to have joined you but Wipso and I went to the Wonderwool Wales at Builth Wells! Maybe next year.
love the work - sorry about your knee- I've noticed the drift to cardmaking in the craft shows here in Northern Ireland as well...
As one with bad knees, I hope you feel better soon. I love your display. I wish I lived close so that I could see it all in person. Good luck with it this week. x Mary
I love love love your brooches- not at all surprised that you had to provide more. Hope there were some smiley talky people there for you.
Jackie your display looks wonderful ....those Marrakesh inspired designs look particularly impressive up there.
Wish I could have visited - I'd love to meet you!!
Love
