Getting all prepared!

I'm off to the Creative Open Workshops Handmade Fair tomorrow, so I'm getting myself sorted today - finishing off a few bits of pieces, doing some ironing (yawnnnnnn....) and making price labels.  I've also taken advantage of the sudden appearance of the sun to dash out and put a net over my French beans - now they've finally germinated, something (wood pigeons maybe?) wants to nibble them.  


I've just this minute finished this fab market trader apron so that I can keep my huge stash of cash nice and safe:




I used this ace tutorial by KitschyKoo (yes, I copied her spotty fabric choice too - what can I say, I'm easily influenced).  The floral fabric is some groovy Free Spirit stuff that I picked up cheap at Abakhan (genius shop).  Feeling a bit nervous about tomorrow because I've decided to go on the train - hopefully there wont be any hold ups and my bags wont be too heavy!  Wish me luck!
