A round up of the last week...

Its been a rather hectic week.

The biggest event was leaving the Boscombe Underground. I'd always been indecisive about the whole thing. Yes, it was exciting and great to have a share in the stall and an opportunity to sell my own bits, but it didn't really work out on a few levels. It was a fantastic experience though, would have been perfect if it was just a weekend thing.

Anyway, there's Winchester next week. Now that certainly has crept up fast. I'm not sure if i'm looking forward to it or if i'm apprehensive. I definitely do not feel ready but at least i'll be going with my buddy, Nicole of Hearts and Skulls. Do go over to her blog and say 'Hi' btw! She's new on the blog scene but has been crafting for many years.

So. What have I been up to?

CarBootButtons001

Bargain Hunting! Inspired by Bex, Nicole and I went to a Car Boot last weekend and I snapped up 2 lots of buttons. All these for £3. JOY!

OlivePlum001 VelvetMandarin001

Dyeing! I think this will be my last batch of 'colour experiments' for a while. The past experiments were a bit nuts, but the yarns turned out better than i expected!

ShepardsDelight003

Spinning! After a too long a hiatus I spun Shepards Delight, which will be up on Coriandr some time next week. Also, if its still with me it'll be on show, with the rest of my yarns, at Winchester :D

BFLHumbugSkein001 BFLHumbugSkein002

Also spun up some more natural BFL tops. Thick and thin art style.

Next week will involve gearing up for Winchester and waiting on some packages in the post. Oh, and quite possibly melting as we're heading for temperatures of 30˚C in the shade. Joy...

Screen Printing: At Last!

Hooray hooray! After may failed attempts at screen printing through last year, I have finally conquered it!

TomatoTea Bags

...and i have no idea what to do with these eco shopping bags now! I'm thinking to give them away free to people who spend over £20 (not including P&P!) in one of my stores and at Winchester in July.

Big Brown Tomato Tea Bag

The brown bag was a (very bad) tester for the bags i'll be using at the fair to those who buy something at my stall (free of course!). I'll get and print some smaller ones too :)

Print Close Up

I can't believe it's nearly time for Cambridge Handm@de already :o Blackberry Crafts will be there, so be sure to stop off and buy some wonderful hand knit fingerless gloves! Spring may be here, but there's still a nip about!



Good luck to everyone taking part! If last years oxford is anything to go by, it should be awesome!
