Festive season is once again upon us. This is a busy time for the craft lovers as various festivities from Halloween to Diwali and most of all Christmas, will get our creativity going. The shortening days invite us to curl up on a sofa with a craft project and hot drink. Sounds like heaven to me and I reckon that there are many likeminded craft enthusiasts around who feel the same.
For someone who loves both crafts and Christmas, the preparations for the Festive Fairs are the highlight of my working year. The process starts in early spring with registrations and applications for the various events. I start making my products in early summer and keep going until the events are upon us. The actual fairs are just a pinnacle of long hours of crafting and other preparations, but they start the festivities and put me in the Christmas spirit. For this Autumn’s events I have made many lovely new products including nursery decorations, felting kits and always popular needle felted animal figurines. Come and have a look and say hello. You will find me in the following events:
The Finnish church organises its annual Christmas fair at the end of November and during the weekend it spreads onto Albion Street and merges with the Scandinavian Christmas market. I will have my table inside the Finnish church on Fri-Sun (22nd - 24th November). This is a very busy event so reserve plenty of time and patience to look around.

We are back from our travels and look forward to the new season. It has been a very hot summer both here in the UK and in Finland where we spent some time in July. I took a big stash of wool with me to Finland with an intention to finish a few projects and perhaps to come up with some new ones. It all returned back to London untouched, the heat simply got the best of me. Despite the slight frustration, this 'heat break' seemed to have served me well. The last few weeks have been very productive and there will be new items available on our online shop by mid September. This autumn will be a busy one, we will soon be in full swing preparing for our felting workshops. The first one is already at the end of September, making autumn wreaths. It will be followed by a new workshop for the families, painting with wool. You can find more information about these and the other workshops on our website. At present there are still some places available on all of them. We are also very excited to announce that Bless This Mess will be attending a few craft fairs and local markets here in Southeast London before Christmas. Until now we have mainly worked in the studio with small groups and functioned online. It will be exciting to come out to the big world and meet all of you in person! More information about the venues and dates will follow soon. But before entirely focusing on the new season I would like to share few summer memories with you...
See you soon!
