Knitted Christmas Holly Cakes and Fluffy Doughnuts

 Hi,
Today I am doing a christmas fair in Cheese and Grain in Frome.  I am hoping the weather forecast will be kind to us,  yesterday it was a cold wind although it stayed dry. Last night Jenson Button turned on the christmas lights in Frome.  Update on this Jenson is on the national news this morning doing his doughnut in his F1 car in the car park in Frome, which is outside the building where I will be today,  in the Cheese and Grain they used the hall as pit stop garage.
These are my knitted Christmas Holly cakes from the book 20 to make Knitted cakes.  I put a piece of red ribbon around the base of the cakes. One has knitted red berries and the other is a white christmas rose which I added yellow french knots in the middle to break the whiteness. With knitted green holly leaves.

Here is something different,  knitted fluffy doughnuts,  I brought some fluffy wool in the market a few weeks ago and this is what I did with it,  there was no labels so I don't know what make of wool it was but they made an interesting take on a doughnut.
I must wish Cheryl from "intatters" who also has a craft market but in Alberta Canada, when mine finishes she will be beginning hers,  good luck, hope you sell lots.


Hope you have a nice weekend.
        Hugs

Congratulations to Jenson Button F1

Hi,
Many of you know I am F1 fan and with out local boy winning the Hungarian F1 yesterday, I just have to say congratulations to him. It was his 200 race and the first race he won was the Hungarian 5 years ago, in the same weather conditions.
It was a hard race, will a lot of charging the tyres due to the weather conditions, with 88 pit stops there was a lot of action, including a fire and what I have never seen before the car exploded with one of the marshals standing beside it.
Nice to have a race with a lot of action in.
Keep up the good work Jenson.
Hugs

Button's win in Canada (F1)

Hi,
We were feeling so sad yesterday see the last post, that F1 brought little bit of joy yesterday.
After a very long race, I cant believe that our local boy has at last won a F1, if you did not watch the race you miss a brilliant end. It was raining outside here and there is was raining in Canada, and when I say rain it was rain the track was flooded and the race stopped, for over an hour everyone just waited. Its beginning to get boring with Vetel winning all the races but not yesterday first we were on BBC 1 5pm then the schedule was changed and they stayed with the race, at 9pm we had to go to BBC2 and oh boy was I glad I did. The finish was the best part of the whole race, at one point Jenson was at the back, but with then coming in to change tyres and his overtaking he got up to 4th, then it was 3rd next he was 2nd and on the last lap he passed Vetel to be the winner.
Vernon was getting fed up with it it was just going on with no end in site, but as Jenson got to 4th he looked up, when he got to 3rd he began to take more notice when he got to 2nd Vernon was sitting on the edge of his chair by the time he was overtaking Vetel he was on the edge of his seat, I had been tatting that was put down by now, there was one great cheer in our house. Well Done Jenson keep it up lovely to see you on the podium I hope there will more this season.
The Bridge that has been built and named the Jenson Button Bridge is now finished and open in Frome, this was done and named because he won the world championship a couple of years ago. The Frome town cryer will no doubt be out on market day.
Well Done
Margaret
