The men are taking over.

Well it has finally happened....

The girls at Creative Connections have finally allowed a man into the innermost enchalons of that wonderful event known as 'Craftfest' and they have given me my own team!

Slightly weary of all that pink I was quickly bribed with the promise that I could name my own team and choose a colour of my choosing.  Well there is only one way to stand out amongst all that 'CRAFTfest" pink.  Black seemed much more masculine, sexy and discerning.  It is time to introduce you to the "G Team"!

And my first introduction goes to the great Lori - otherwise known as the 'Scarlet Wolf' from the Crystal Cavern.  She is a fantastic promoter, great team player and fabulous crafter.  This Fest she is offering two Stalls - one in jewellery and one in supplies  Here are some of her items.  You will also find Lori on Facebook, Twitter, Pinterest, Wanelo, Blogging and on Stumble.

Next to bring out the bling is "The Very Small Company" which may need to change its name if it continues to grow from strength to strength!  Julie offers: "a small selection of my handmade gifts and jewellery. I try to cater for all budgets." Lots more lovelies on their website at The Very Small Company!"  You can also follow them on Facebook or Twitter.

Teal Team No. 6

How about a little more on the Jewellery Front.

Its always the biggest of the stalls and there is just so much talent that it is hard to know where to start.

First up today is Maisy Plum by Jo Pearce

"We have a love of all things handmade, but our real passion is for handmade jewellery. We work with semi-precious stones, sterling silver and metals including copper. We have recently started a selection of hand stamped jewellery which can be made to order. Our philosophy is to make elegant jewellery that is stylish and easy to wear."

Lottie of London is a fellow Lilac Lovely that has joined in with the Teals this Fest...

"My name is Clare Lewis, I am a jewellery designer from South London. All my jewellery is individually handcrafted here in the UK, using my favourite medium Polymer Clay. Polymer Clay features in many of my designed pieces and is perfect for allowing me to explore my love of colours. I take my inspiration from everyday life to experiment with colour and I strive to create jewellery that is bold and unique, the majority of my items are original and occasionally I create limited edition themed items. "
