Next weekend (November 25, 26 and 27th) is the annual Open Doors craft fair. Each year we have a raffle to raise funds for a good cause, with all the prizes hand made by ourselves. All our time and materials are our donation - every penny spent on a raffle ticket goes to our selected charity.
This year all the money raised will go to Water Aid, and we're both hoping to raise enough to make a real difference where it's needed most.
Over the last month or so, Mum and I have been knitting like mad to make this set up. This is our first prize, a nativity scene with a difference!
The Archmouse Gabriel
Mamma and baby camel
Mary's donkey and a small flock of sheep
The shepherds and their flock
The three kings bearing their rich gifts
Poor Joseph carpenter mouse and his wife Mary, and their new arrival!
Family portrait.
Tickets will cost £1 each and will be on sale at the show.
It is amaaaaazing! I would never have dreamt a knitted scene could look this fab! Well done to you, AND your Mum! Please tell her the French girl on your team sends her a big hug :) And to you too of course!!!
