Printed Textiles, knitting and crafting

I feel awful…

I feel terrible on so many levels today. I’ve still got my cold which is making me feel really fed up, after all my plans to try and do some work yesterday I did nothing but sit on the sofa, watch dvds and check my emails now and then. No stitching, no knitting or anything! [...]

Colds and sneezes…

They certainly do spread diseases!  I’m still feeling pretty crappy today but I’m trying to pull myself together to get a little work done today, inbetween all that important snoozing of course!  I hate being ill, don’t we all, but when you work for yourself you really do feel the effects of being ill.  I [...]

Sheffield Vintage Fair…

Well I made it to the Sheffield Vintage Fashion Fair!  I felt really poorly when I woke up yesterday morning but I was determined that shoveling paracetamol down my throat would ease the cold enough for me to be able to go to the fair! Most of the day I felt fine although I did go downhill [...]

I was so tired yesterday!  I had a lovely but tiring day out and about in Manchester visiting a friend from uni.  I had a great day though and saw some lovely things including the Peaks in all their glory looking fab in the sunshine.  I wanted to take a picture from the train but [...]

New Folksy shop and fab knitting patterns…

Ouch…

Yes, the horrible back ache has reared it’s ugly head again!  This is only 3 days after I last saw my physio and was telling her how the pain wasn’t too bad at the moment, I jinxed myself didn’t I? I was at work for a long 10 hour shift yesterday which really took it’s [...]

Knitting, stitching and visiting…

Well, sorry for the delayed post when it’s been a week since I visited the Knitting and Stitching show but silly me has been doing lots of shifts at work and hardly had a moment to myself! My first disappointment when we went to the show was the fact that I took my little digital camera and [...]

So much to talk about, so little time…

I  have so much to share but no interesting pictures to put with it all, will take some tomorrow promise!  In the meantime here is what lies in store: I’ve been to a knitting and stitching show, updated the website, listed new products on etsy, ordered some moo cards, started back at my sewing class and [...]

Art in the Gardens…

Well, it finally came around, Art in the Gardens went ahead, in spite of the weather!  Actually the weather wasn’t too bad, Saturday was a bit rainy and then Sunday was glorious until about 3:30pm when the heavens opened and the rain was torrential!  Thunder and lightening came along for the ride too. Here is [...]
