Handm@de Craft fair - Cambridge, UK - tomorrow

Four of the lovely ladies that I've met through Etsy have organised a craft fair in Cambridge and it's all happening tomorrow. I bottled out of having my own table but the Etsy UK Street Team is having a team stall so I'm popping along to give support and man the stall for a little while. Judging by some of the posts on Twitter and Flickr, there is a fair amount of last minute panicking going on which is one thing I'm not missing after all the stress I gave myself for my initial venture into the world of craft fairs! LOL

I'm just going to enjoy myself - talking, eating and taking sneaky candid shots of all the lovely stalls and stallholders. The doors open at 11am at The Guildhall in central Cambridge, postcode is CB2 3QJ if you want to google map it. If you'd like a preview of some of the sellers, have a peek at their blog here.

Just a Bit of Fun

Well, after such a busy week, I've been in a 'bleh' mood today so I've just been pootling around the internet, reading blogs, randomly following links and finding all sorts of fun/quirky or interesting little tidbits. The picture for today comes courtesy of Wordle, a clever application that takes all the words in your blog (or any other piece of text) and makes a picture out of them. It's a bit like the tag cloud but this one allows you to change colours, fonts, orientation etc. I found one here but I have vaguely heard of them before.

I had a bet with hubby that photos or photography would be the biggest word but no, it wasn't and I'm very surprised about that. It's so pretty too and best of all - you can put it on a t-shirt if you want - have a look through the gallery to see what other people are doing with their wordles. I might try to write a few more posts without using some of those words and see how it changes - could be fun to try not to use words like day or weeks. I supposeI could just do a whole post with one word but that would be cheating! Have fun :)
