Peppa Pig



A hug from Peppa Pig!

 Last week-end was spent at the Walled Gardens of Cannington where they had a garden festival over the two days. P came with me as one of her bff's (best friends forever) was there as well.
What a lovely week-end we had! My stall was next to the the lovely Beekeeping Ladies who supplied Mr P with three jars of their delicious honey marmalade and I also treated myself to a beeswax moisturising bar.
P had two goes at making a pot on Leigh's potters wheel ..

Throwing a pot

as did Peppa Pig on Sunday afternoon!

Peppa throws a pot ...



George squashed it!

 We had great fun meeting Peppa Pig who made a beautiful pot, but then George naughtily squashed it! I had a walk around the green houses very early Sunday morning, which is rather like a mini Eden Project and found all sorts of inspiration.
I have lots of new ideas buzzing around in my head at the moment, but I need to make lots of the favourites ready for two events this week-end!

 

My next major project is CE self-certification for my toys, and I am hoping to chart my progress on this blog as I go, and hopefully help any others who are going down this path, or maybe you might be able to help me! So the first part of my journey starts with these sites that I have found very helpful

• Odds and Soxlets published a really clear post here
• They recommended a company called Conformance who have published a Self-Certification pack for knitted toys which I am now reading through.
• I was recommended a Facebook support group that I have joined, and it is already providing help as well as food for thought.

So a lot to read and think about over the coming weeks!
