Treasury cute stuff…

I was featured in another treasury, this one is a super cute knitting related treasury which is fantastic, being a completely obsessed knitter I always love a bit of knitting eye candy! How cute are those owls? And I’m a huge fan of Maxsworld too!  Thanks to PanicLab for featuring one of my knitting bags! [...]

Mini Woolfest…

I was at the Wool & Textiles Craft Fair yesterday and I had a great time!  I didn’t get a good chance to look around all that much, when I did the place was absolutely packed with people so I couldn’t get a good look at everything!  I really hope that this wont be the [...]

Art in the Gardens 2009

I’m so worn out!  It’s amazing how tiring it can be being outside all weekend!  By the time I got home from Art in the Gardens this weekend I felt like I’d been on a 10 mile hike!  Thanks to everyone who turned out in the chilly weather to visit this weekend though, at least [...]
