I need more time

Well, on the wooly work front I haven't managed to get anything done recently. I have just finished a wall hanging - just needs a backing. I prepared loads of yarn to weave with but due to a phone call from my birth mother in Tasmania no work has been done. She is coming over on the 24th of this month so my work room has had to be emptied. I didn't realise i had that much stash, mind i still keep buying, lol.
I have been asked if i would like to join a craft group that exhibit their work and give demos, workshops etc.. I didn't think i was that good. Anyway it is too late for this year so i have a year in which to decide and make up enough pieces for an exhibition.....................
I'll get my dh to upload a picture of the hanging as soon as possible so you can give me your views, i really would like them, warts and all.
bye for now .

My first blog


This is all new to me. It was my dh's idea as he thinks people may be interested in the type of hobbies/crafts I like. So thanks to my daughter, Abi here it is.
I love most crafts but particularly knitting, weaving, sewing, spinning (when i have the room to bring my wheel down from the attic). I am now into making and using "peg looms". Then results are really quick to see and the finished item is so lovely and warm, thick.
