Craft Fair

   This week has been pretty good and then there was Saturday. Saturday was A-M-A-Z-I-N-G!!!! I was at a charity craft fair, standing on my feet from 9am to 4pm but all for a good cause. We were representing the PYT (or its proper name is The Peeblesshire Youth Trust ) selling my hand made collection of jewellery, Christmas decorations, hair clips and badges and then there was a raffle and sweeties for the little ones. It was a really good day and I cant wait to do another one, which is good as I have one on Friday night!! Its in Peebles again, advertised as a "Ladies Christmas Shopping Evening" although I highly expect there to be men there. And children ( I am going after all and I wouldn't exactly call myself an adult, nor a child really... Does that mean I am an adolescent AKA stroppy teenager??) So Friday should be good and then theres one on the 1st of december and my friend has also invited me to join her at her local market to sell some things with her. As you can see I really do like craft fair/markets! We made these chocolates to sell for PYT as well.

   But inbetween I have my prelims. Yes those dreadful mock exams schools do. I think they are a bad idea when through out the year we do end of topic tests but I suppose they lett us know how stressful the real exams are going to be and also let us know if we are failing so far or not, hopefully not. I am actually not too stressed although my first one is two days away and my mum thinks I am revising. But it is english and this is writing so its not that different. Then theres physics. Thats a totally different (Ahh quick click onto bite size, someone is coming!)  Oh yes physics is my third least subject. Most hated subject is maths then chemistry (although I kind of like my sciences I just wish I didnt take three) then physics followed by biology. English is Ok as long as I like what im writing or reading about and history is easy-peasy and my favourite subject is fashion and textiles (if you knew then that would be obvious.) But sadly you dont do a prelim in textiles but you do a ten hour (TEN HOURS!!!) exam instead. Nearly everyone then says "Ten hours... In one go??" No dont be so stupid, that would be child abuse making a child sit an exam  for ten hours with no breaks. I get to do it over a couple of weeks, I can start it when ever I want as long as I finish it by the hand in date I will be fine.
   Oh and that craft fair I went to last week that I was all excited about... Well there was some nice things there but not what I was expecting at all. But I met a really ( I appologise for the amount or "really"s in this post, I need to widen my vocabulary) lovely lady who was there selling her mums things  because she was at another craft fair. They had some nice jewelery and leather books. I bought a leather book. Mine is orange. Bright orange. I thought I would never lose a bright orange book and so far this is true, but its only been a week. There was some really nice scarves too but quite expensive and I have a quite a few scarves all ready, always room for more though, just not that day. The other thing that interested me most was the ceilings and light switches. That sounds odd I know but it was a very old house, like Downton Abbey, a fancy manor house surrounded by fields and posh gardens. What im really saying is I would like to live there if someone would pay the bills for me. I couldn't take a picture of the ceilings subtly but I could of the light switches so here they are.

I want some like this, with the old flicker things, I was so tempted to try them but I couldn't, there was too many people! So that was my week and my week to come of prelims and craft fairs, but now I really must go and start revising. See you soon xx
