DS Skillsharing Weekend - For SaleWe've got this thread for barter/swapsies type stuff, but how about people who sell stuff and are coming to the DS meet?Perhaps if you say what you have here, then people coming can order in advance to be picked up on the weekend? Just a thought

I may have honey as well - they are working like crazy at the moment and if it carries on like this I'll be putting more supers on the main colony | ||||||

Or, in my mind "trousers made with dooughnuts..." I'll bring needle wraps ( for knitting needles or crochet hooks). |
||||||

That's what I read too

The full range of Southern Uplands Wines (except Quince which has run out till autumn).
Boxes or single bottles to order in advance. Also bringing tasting samples and stock, so folk can try before they buy. |

....torus is another word for semicircle in 3d - I was given the idea by happytechie in the forest...thought it sounded better than *donut*....er....I can have a go at making doughnut trousers if you all like.....

All this temptation - and just after pay day too

I don't think I'm realistically going to get any more of these done before the meet up so here are some of my soft fulled bowls.
They are all about 5'' across (apart from the ruffle bowl which is 7'') and stand between 2 and 5'' tall. People who have bought them in the past have used them to keep jewellery in, pack with other small gifts like soaps or sweets (I can send a cellophane bag to fit inside if desired). They are seem to be popular for trinkets, beads, sewing bits. I have one that I stick my i-pod in at the end of the day to stop it getting scratched up. If anyone wants any more information, or better pictures just pm me I can send them to the meet via Ruby
Flower weavers 1 and 2 
Needlefelt flower (2''tall) and mushroom patch - these two have plain sides and decorated bases. 
Tortoise patch and Ruffle |
||||||
| Fee |
They're gorgeous, Frewen! | ||||||
| Frewen |
Only the pink flower weaver, the pink tortoise patch and the ruffle bowl are left.
Neighbour who came round for coffee snaffled the other three this morning - and wants me to make a green man for her husband's Christmas present
edited to say - thankyou Fee

Who was it who wanted plague rats for the weekend- I've completley lost my list
I know I owe one to Justme, but beyond that, all I have is a vague feelinga couple of people asked for them
|
||||||
| jocorless |
I wanted 3 please - need one for each cat or there could be war! | ||||||
| Fee |
2 for me please, Sally, if that's ok
|
||||||
| Mrs Fiddlesticks |
about 3- 4 needed here!
|
||||||
| sally_in_wales |
right will do my best, not sure I have that many made up, but worst case scenario everyone can have a couple and I'll post the rest out later (still recovering from the Great Plague Rat Burglery of a couple of weeks ago  )

In case it's not clear from my previous post above, you'll be able to buy at the weekend, and I'll be bringing the advance orders with me for delivery. Now sold out of Bramble as well as Quince. 2007 vintage will be ready in the autumn. Any more for any more before I set off, so I can deffo bring them with me ? |
||||||
| Fee |
Yes, let me go and have a look
|
||||||
| sally_in_wales |
I booked some wine didnt I? if not, I definately want some whitebeam | ||||||
| Fee |
I've just ordered 2 of those too
|
||||||
| jocorless |
I had hoped to bring some honey with me but I've just been into have a look and it just isn't ready yet - they have started to cap it off but have only done about 1/3 per each frame - if I extract it now it could start fermenting in the jar which isn't good | ||||||
| woodsprite |
The bowls are delightful! Would it be really crass to ask how much they are? | ||||||
| Cathryn |
Here are Frewens bowls, they range in price from £15 for bowls (and the diy kits) to £18. The rather marvellous figure is more.
