Here are the pictures from Wonderfully Made that we promised in yesterday's blog.

We've had an excellent start to the event, with sales at the end of the second day up 25% on last year.  Given the economic climate, that has to be amazing.  We must be doing something right.  What more reassurance could you want that there are some beautiful items on show?

The other good news is that the sales figures mean that we have raised over £500 for the church's projects fund already.   The church was buzzing with people a few minutes ago, so that figure is totting up by the minute, and there is the raffle to add on to that. 

Don't forget that there is a rather tempting array of cakes, buns and sandwiches on offer in the cafe area.  It's worth coming in just for those.  There really is a lovely atmosphere in the church, so linger and enjoy. 

Tonight's entertainment is from Knock on Wood, who will be playing a selection of West African rhythms on traditional instruments.  Entry is free, but if you would like to make a small donation to support the work of Medecins Sans Frontieres in the drought sticken areas of Africa, they will be delighted to pass it on.

Wonderfully Made got off to a flying start with last night's Preview Evening, and it looks like being every bit as good as last year's event, if not better.  Lovely to see so many people.

There will be photographs coming shortly (we tried to take some last night, but too many people in the way.  Nice problem to have.)

We are running from 10am till 10pm today and tomorrow, and from 10-4pm on Saturday, so plenty of time to pop along.  

Our friends the Red Parrots did us proud last night with their folk music, and they will be performing again this evening.  It's worth coming along just to hear them.  It's toe-tapping stuff, and it's free!

Tomorrow night brings a change of music:  still ethnic, but moving far south to West Africa for drum-based rhythms from Knock on Wood.
