From one end
And looking back from the other. If you are wondering what the sheep are in the middle of the space then look here. I can guarantee that they look great in real life too!In no particular order here are the stalls.
My Furoshiki 
Angels and Butterflies
Mrs Sew and Sew
A.Deegan. I think my next purchase may have to be one of her 'Betty's Hen' prints!
Dig The Earth
Print For Love Of Wood 
Ruby Spirit Designs
Buri BooAnd I have a confession to make - I haven't got a photograph of Kirsten (Quernus Crafts) stall as every time I got my camera out she had people there. And everyone knows you don't disturb a crafter when they have people at their stall! I know Kirsten took a picture of her stall so I will try and grab one for you later.
Also there were some Folksy folk who attended who didn't have stalls. Laura's Little Lovelies, Sadi Soul and Dichroic Dazzle, who should get special mention as she travelled all the way up from Birmingham! If I've forgotten anyone then let me know!
As well as setting up stalls so we could show off our work we also had two workshops to attend. Wax batik run by Jo of Glassprimitif (who incidentally organised the event too) and a Letterpress workshop run by Jax of Print For Love Of Wood. Both were excellent and below you can see what I made in the Wax Batik workshop.
Not bad for a first attempt I thought!I also didn't leave empty handed and bought a couple of things too :)
A gorgeous button print (that just had to be mine) from Dig The Earth and a cute Santa cat from Quernus Crafts. I'd been eyeing up the print for ages and was then mortified when I thought Mich from My Furoshiki had bought it - luckily she was just holding it so she could look at the equally gorgeous butterfly print behind! Phew!Well that was a mammoth post - pat yourself on the back if you got to the end :)

Looks great, and I'd say that's an excellent first at the batik!
What a great event, and thanks for the photo's of everyone's stalls, love your purchases by the way, Di x
Thanks for doing such a comprehensive roundup of a lovely day, Lynsey! I am very happy with my new wee chook - it really was a tough decision, and no doubt I'll be back for the other two I had to sadly leave behind :)
Thanks to everyone who came along to make this a day to remember, and hopefully the first of many!

PS Will email you a picture of my stall - it was the first outing of my new banner, after all :)
Great write up Lynsey! I'm still plucking up courage to start mine. Glad you like your button print :D
